Running

Decided to make a quick update on where I am at right now. I can't believe that June is almost over already! A lot had happened in the past week, and all of it were hard things that I managed to turn around into some motivation my life (somehow). Give you an idea of what happened, I got a $1300 bill for my Emergency Room visit 3 month ago. And for the next three weeks, I'm going to be working to pay it off.



Anyways, a new hobby I've gotten into since the end of the 2012 Spring School Semester was running. During the spring, I started running to get things off of my mind because I kept thinking too much a problem I had. I got the idea from my friend who sprinted for an hour straight to get his mind off his ex. Unfortunately, sprinting for an hour straight everyday ended up giving him a stress fracture on his hip. So I decided if I wanted to do that I should start trying to jog for an hour before I go for an hour sprint... Good thing one of my other friends jogged 3 miles every morning! Kind of awesome that I naturally surround myself with people of similar interests without even trying! :)

The first attempt I almost made it to the end, but gave up probably at the 2.7 mile mark. The next week, I went out on my own to try again, and I managed to get the whole thing myself! Since then, I've been running at least 3 miles every week. And now me and my uncle are up to 5.5 miles! We just finished the run yesterday, and I'm going to try my regular 3.5 miles that I used to do. Well, that's all for my update for now. Oh, and I plan to do the Boston Marathon when Spring of 2014 comes around! :) So if your stressed: Go outside and get active! Try something new and maybe you'll like it! I'm definitely glad that I gave running a chance!
