love 10k

I don't like exercise. Actually that's a lie. I love it, but it's so painful for me. Not because of the actual workout, but because I'm really impatient. I just want to GET there, BE fit already! Yknow?
Well, this time the goal isn't to be fit, although I'm sure with the training needed to do a 10k, that will happen naturally. The goal is to finish my first 10k run in an hour.

That said, the 10k run by sportinglife is an annual fundraising/charity run/walk for kids with cancer to attend Camp Oochigeas at no cost. Pretty awesome.

Right now, my friend A and I have started training, and we're running in Nike Free, which I loved at first for their lightness and flexibility, until I learned they were terrible for your feet. So we are now waiting for the arrival of our Asics GT2000 which offer arch support, absorbs shock impact and ankle support.

I ordered the one in black, and A ordered the one in purple. Gotta say, not the most attractive shoe, but proper runners are always kinda ugly.

Training log:

Day 1 - 3km in 22 min
Day 2 - 3.2km in 21 min

love wedding snippet

RIGHT before I walked down the aisle, my friend snapped this pretty picture on his phone.

I was a little disappointed in myself for not doing a "wedding blog" like so many other beautiful brides have done. It was the perfect opportunity to document our process, and provide future brides with inspiration (and warnings) for their own wedding. I will miss having a record of all the success (and some failures) we achieved leading up to the wedding date, but planning a wedding in 5 months (it CAN be done), plus moving, plus working long hours at work, it just wasn't possible without me looking like the walking dead down the aisle. Fear not, baby. All is not lost. A new chapter has begun, and yes, we already did our honeymoon in THAILAND (which I'll cover in another post/s) but life still goes on, and life is still an adventure, with many more to come.

honestly.

Not going to lie, this isn't the first time I've started to blog, but let's be honest here; me and blogging? Not the most faithful of relationships in the blogosphere. Yes, I'm a little late to the blog boom party, and I'm not hoping to gain celebrity status with this, but I can at least try to learn something (about myself?) from a committed experience. Let's christen the blog with a worthy photo: my old family dog (resting in peace forever) chilling like it's NBD on my dad's rock n roll Harley.
