This weekend was a good weekend by far, in terms of training.
First news is that I signed up for Runner's World Magazine and am excitedly awaiting my first two trail version to read up on running and other runners around the globe. I'm proud that I didn't spend the extra money to buy it on the spot in the Newstand. But the wait would be worth it, I have a good feeling it'll be a good read throughout the year :D The stuff online is already pretty good, giving me a good training program and great tips on how to start.
Second news is that, after spending a whole day at Vaughan last weekend, I managed to purchase a long sleeve, under base dri-fit shirt from Nike, which was quite the epic story itself! It was harder than I thought to find a woman's long sleeve shirt for running that wicks away the moisture. So after trying addidas, reebok and champs, I finally entered nike and started looking in the men's section. Which wasn't a bad idea cause in the men's section, they had so much more style than the women's section! So yeah, you'd probably figured out by now that the shirt I got was men's dri-fit. But it's okay, because it still works the charm! 33 whole dollars off my budget, but totally worth it! I went out for a run on Saturday and clocked 5K and wore them inside a short sleeve, and I was completely warm the whole run through. Awesome :) And I didn't need to buy extra gloves or neck warmers cause the makeshift ones I have at home works just fine. SO I have the makeshift gear to start training now! :)
Third news, well other than finally getting my butt out there and clocking 5K, my heroin CONFIRMED me as a friend on fb AND she sent me a personal email to thank me for encouraging her through her race AND we are now conversing on fb. It's so good to see her pictures and talk to her and to hear more about the Sahara race. I think I want to do it in the future. She's such an inspiration and a great person!
Life is good.
