by nature, i am not athletic. i am not good with any sports at all. i can pass muster with volleyball and badminton but that's it. for exercise, i forayed into going to the gym, tae-bo, biking and walking. i still do walking up to now and i'm starting on jumping rope. my friend and aunt both say jumping rope is great exercise.
but one of my fervent dreams is joining a marathon. not a 21k or 42k marathon-especially not the new york marathon, mind you. i just want to finish 3 kilometers. the problem is i suck at running. i cannot run 50 meters without feeling my heart bursting. it's really difficult for me. i can probably walk the entire 3kms but not run it. so i've been practicing. i run about 100 meters everyday. i plan to run that length for about a two weeks and extend it to 110 or 120 meters after. hopefully, by the end of the year, i can manage 1km already. i was talking with my girlfriends yesterday and i said i'm probably going to make the 3k run by 2014 or 2015. hahaha! but the truth is, that's okay. i'm taking my time training and who knows, i'll be posting a picture of me finishing a 3k run sooner than i planned. wish me luck!
