I want to run, seriously

Posted in i run on January 11th, 2010 by estan – 12 Comments

I used to go to the gym and climb mountains as well as do cardio. Unfortunately, for the past two years, life has been more on the easy and inactive side that I’m dealing with the consequences. My mountaineering club mates have been egging me to go with them in their climbs but I can’t just join them without preparation. Seriously, I want to get active again and for me, running would be the answer. To develop endurance. To keep fit and be healthy.

The sport, judging from friends, online updates as well as news, is having a resurgence. It is popular as ever that there’s even a store dedicated to it here in the country. Lots of races monthly and even former colleagues from the company I was working for before even organized a running club. There’s an active community for it that will be a great help in motivating starters on keeping to hit the road.

I’m no stranger to running. During college, my boardmate, Angel, ran. While I wasn’t fully into it, I’ve always recognized its benefits. And so, this start of the year, I’ve pledged that before 2010 ends, I will already be able to join a race. I want to start running. Properly. Be serious with it and hopefully, get fit.
