I never liked running. I remembered back in the college days... ooh.. the number of times I did any serious running can be counted with one hand. But I have been running pretty regularly in recent weeks. Hurt my foot when I started about a month ago coz I didn't have proper shoes. Now that I bought a pair of Nike... I run about every other days for about 2.5 miles each time. I run about very slow... a little more than 10 min/mile. I think I have gotten better now. My breathing is better now, except my legs still get tired towards the end. My goal is run a half marathon, oh, maybe next year... just maybe.
I start to like running... coz it gives me some quiet time that I can think and meditate. I realize that you don't have to sit still to meditate, you can run while you meditate... hah... I never sit still and therefore could never really do any meditation. But I found that running gets you into this trance state that you can actually forget that your legs are hurting and your lungs are running of the air. Anyway running really helps me to clear my thoughts and get me focus on my priorities again.

Thoughts, random thoughts mostly. I guess it's a good idea that I write them down. Just in case...

多做帶氧運動才是減壓良方﹕「帶氧運動如游泳、跳繩和跑步等，可令腦部釋放一種物質，有效減低精神壓力。」 - quote from Mingpao health section.
make sense
Have you tried walking instead of running?
May be a combo of speed-walking but I have found walking long distance is easier and less stress on my aging body.
I like walking a lot, especially when I was in HK because there were so much to see you just wouldn't get bored.
