Virtual Junkie

Initially I thought perhaps assumed, okay maybe not.

Knew it deep down in my heart, in the depths of the muscles of my heart, among the ventricles and atrium, between the aorta and the vena cava, that the Internet was a F.A.C.I.L.I.T.Y. 

And that I do not rely on the medium out of my interest but because of the daily work I am involved in, which requires its expertise. 

Not only work, my interests lies among the World Wide Web too! OK I do have other interests. But even to pursue them I need WWW. 

I am officially an Internet Junkie. 

Something I probably was too afraid to admit for making myself look TOTALLY dependent on this new age invention. 

Compared to Edison's electricity, Internet is relatively new, so yeah.

I ran!

The title may sound simple to you but it means a lot to a couch potato who dream of running marathons without getting her ass of the couch.

When a friend of mine finally decided to keep up to a running routine, I figured this is the chance to actually get up and start training. And why not do it with a partner. Least there is this motivating factor.

Turns out, we both were procrastinating the whole idea. It is going to be a month since the idea took birth and perhaps died off as well. But of the course, I came to the rescue by going for a early run today. 

And my new running shoes were highly motivating. Maybe it was a placebo effect. 

Look at me Fly!

I hope will stick the routine I found online for newbie runners or specifically "Couch to 5K Runner". I ought to follow the regiment for three times a week for 9 weeks. 

Today marks the first day of the 1st week. 

3++ kilometres was all I could muster today with bits of walking thrown in. :-) 

No this will not be another of the many attempts I undertake in pursuing something long term!

Will it be?
