C25K!

SUCCESS!

I finished my first 5k last night. I wasn't going to run since it was slightly drizzling but just like a quote I came across somewhere, there will never be perfect weather. Thankfully I did run because it's raining tonight! I didn't start running to join any competition but it was more than what I've ever ran in my life. I started using one of the c25k running programmes and just listened to the music and sessions that people made. It took me longer than the suggested 9 weeks to finish this 5k training since I had surgeries and traveling and such. I realized that the hardest part about 5k for me is that running itself gets so boring if you're running along a track. My mind started drifting and I wasn't concentrating by the end of it. Haha. How can people run marathons!? Yay to one accomplishment this year!

Technology is cool!

I'm always amazed by technology we have and are improving at the moment. About a month ago, I first saw the 3-D printed ear (here's the article for the ear if you're interested)and now there's a tool where you can check out someone's heartbeat and breathing without touching! Check this video out!
