Exercise Update: I’ve come a long way baby!
Author: The Blonde Diaries / Category: healthAbout 2 months ago I started running again. I was never much of a runner but this is the best way for me to lose weight so I figured I would try again. The first few times were quite rough. I would get out of breath and hot very fast. Sometimes I would get side pains. I was only running a mile! I tried not to get down. I would just continue running as much as I could and taking breaks as I needed to.
Well I think that method has paid off! I am now able to run 1 mile without stopping, overheating, or have major side pains. In fact, last night I ran 2 miles with just a short water break between mile 1 & 2 and another at mile 1.5. I am elated. I have to admit I totally forgot about how I was complaining and wondering if I’d ever be able to run without having issues and one of my exercise buddies reminded me that 2 months ago I couldn’t even run a mile. I’ve come a long way baby!

I started running 18 months ago, and I am now can easily run 4+ km. Plus some weight training. I even couldn’t run 1 km two years ago.

That is awesome Jimmy. I am hoping I can keep this up as it has been a little difficult lately. I start back at the gym tonight.
