Run, Ross, Run!

Whenever I feel like I gained a few pounds and decide to sweat it all off, I worry about how will I lose weight. I am not a sporty person at all so I really have no idea on where to start and what exercises should I do.

My boyfriend, Marc, introduced me to Running. My first run was the NBA Fit - Air21 Run. I got to run alongside Coach Spoelstra of Miami Heat and some guys from the NBA who were with him. It was a 5k run and I almost died. Haha! A bit exaggerated though true but that's because of I had no training since I didn't really run or jog at all before the run and also lack of sleep due to excitement.

Now, I like running! I don't know why I decided to be serious about it but its not because Marc's into it too. Maybe because of those days when I have to wake up early and wish him good luck and ask him to take care before the marathon starts or maybe its the only sport that I don't have to compete with anyone and just enjoy running and hearing people gasping for air, giving up because they're damn tired after passing the 1KM mark, rushing to the water stations and grabbing 5 cups per second. That's fun, right? 

So for all of these to be possible, I have to stay committed to training, buy the essential gear then I'm all set.

Last night, I made a list of events that I will participate in. My goal is to join 5 out of 6 events in 5 months.
