Running

In my 30+ existence in this world, I never considered running as an activity. I always itch everytime I attempt to do so. For those who've witnessed it, it's not a normal itchy feeling but one that will make you really stop, scratch and even cry. Why would I want that experience right? So I decided not to do it at all. I'd rather perform other cardio activities except running.

This year, a lot of people convinced me to try it. Since I've been inconsistent with my workout for the past 6 months, I really gained weight. My friend in the gym told me that running is very effective in losing weight. Despite all the convincing still I dont want to try it.

We all know that there's a marathon fever happening and a lot of my friends are so into it. One rainy evening, I decided to give it a try. I went to UP and to my surprise I finished 2 rounds and felt less itchy. The itch was bearable that I stopped only for a few minutes. I can't believe it myself. Not so much that I was able to run (as I am into other cadio activities) but more of that I didn't experience that breath-taking itchy thing. I hope this is the start of something new and I look forward to my next jog :-) I got so inspired that I bought a new pair of running shoes!!!! ...Hop hop hop
