It's all in the mind


Many people told me that running is all in the mind.

When I announced that I will be joining the sun down, many experienced runner commented, running is about willpower and I just have to set the right mind to do it.

At gym, I don't fancy running because I find running on treadmill pointless. I just warm up for 15 mins and I am off for bodystep classes. I can't resist the temptation to give up. It keeps ringing at the back of my mind to just call it a quit.

So, because I made an oath to lose 5kg this year, I am going to do something about it.
(Having read the book Monk who sold his Ferrari has evaluated my resolution and I am going to do something it.

Just the other day, I was rushing for my bodystep class and I missed it because I was late. I had no choice but to run on the treadmill instead.

By the time I reached 2km, I was panting away, gasping for air. But somehow I persevered and I kept on going.

Think of happy thoughts. Just keep thinking of happy thoughts! I hear alot of voices to tell me to quit and give myself a break. Think of slimmer and healthier me. Envision leaner body. And I did 6km today!

Amount of calories burned? It aint enough to cover the plate of char kuay teow I ate the other day.

Sigh
