First and foremost, don't misinterpret the title. Hehehe. Running has sure changed the way I keep myself fit, and it also opened my eyes to everything that makes our city streets alive. Things you don't get to see when you are inside your car or taking a jeepney ride to your office or home. Little things that might be disgusting, amazing, or things that will leave you shaking your head because you thought differently.
I never had the chance to see the city and her streets this way, in a very intimate way, until now.
Running early mornings sure does a lot of things to the way you see the city.
This is the very reason why I find running interesting. To keep it that way, I change my routes every now and then. In this way, I keep everything fresh, and there is no dull moment every time I hit the asphalt...til next time.

It started in August
It all started in August, when I made a vow to loose weight by December last year, loose all 5 kilos of excess weight before the holidays hit. And I did, and it was very encouraging, hence the more I run.
The first two weeks or so, was the most difficult part of what has become a fix for me. I had to practically drag my ass off the bed, when it was darn cozy to just doze. The cold mornings often gave me all the excuses not to wake up, but I had to, I just had to. I have to show myself I can do this.
Not to mention, my body was in revolt, it never had been exposed to this type of an activity for so long a time. It was probably screaming why now?! As a result, pain was everywhere, in my joints, knees, ankles, legs, hamstrings, calves, name the body part, pain was there.
But it never stopped me, I continued running until my body finally broke into it. It has adjusted pretty well, to the point its looking for a quick fix every now and then. :D
Diri lang sa ta kutob kai lisod na. Mahutdan ta ug istorya... Until then.

Blogging... sounds like jogging...
Got to try my hand at this... Like my first week of running or jogging, call it whatever you want, this will not be easy. But with time, and practice, it will.
More to come!
