No, I am not going to promise more updates, we all know that never works out…

I have actually begun running a few weeks ago, thanks to Tom. He decided to get healthier, quit smoking and get some exercise. He lasted a week or 3 and now he’s back to his old habits. Nice try mate!

When I start with something new, I usually spend too much money on it, before I even begin. I remember when I wanted to start drawing again… yes that material is collecting dust somewhere still.

Anyway, I got myself some Nike+ shoes, the Nike+ sensor thing and some Nike+ .. clothes. Nike+ allows you to track your progress online as it gives you stats on distance, speed and pace, the kind of extras I need to stay motivated ;) Together with this Start to Run podcast, I managed to complete 8 late night runs (somewhere between 10pm and 2am, less people to see you run!) up until I hurt my knee and now I’m on a one week break… No I’m not quitting, the knee is better and I should be running one of these days again soon!

One of these days does sound like quitting, doesn’t it. Well, no worries, we have a backup plan. I have actually subscribed to a gym, or health center, whatever you like to call it. When Elke saw me run, she decided she needed to do some sports as well, so I joined her on a tour at our local gym, with NO intention whatsoever to join myself. Yes I left with a 3 month subscription…

Well, not that it’s a bad thing. Together with my running I should be able to get a bit in shape again, and lose those 10 kilos I gained these last 4 years. Now all that is left is to change my food habits and a healthier me is guaranteed! … I hope :D
