Back after an absurd amount of time.

I should've knew I couldn't keep an updated blog for more than a few weeks. Anyhow, i'll try this again with a little more diligence. That fact of the matter is, I try to fit too much in my posts to the point where it becomes a burden for me to write. Blogging should be an effortless task, no? Well enough of that; I love that building to the right. It's Shangri-La in Downtown Vancouver. What a gorgeous piece of art. I heard it's part hotel and part residential; I can only imagine how much it would cost to stay for the night, let alone own an apartment.

Rainy Vancouver is one of the most depressing sights. Luckily, the sun is shinning today complimented by blue skies and light fluffy clouds; beautiful! Mornings and nights are getting cold though. I've definitely noticed winter fast approaching as the cold gets to me on my late night runs. Oh yeah, I must ramble on about my running; onto the next paragraph!

So i've started running again. I decided I needed some cardio back into my life. Most of all though, I needed motivation, especially at the very beginning. Running can be pretty dull at first, but once you capture that "runner's high" it becomes a very different animal. I've been running for less than a month with Nike+. Even after being sick with Strep throat, I was still motivated enough to resume training within days of getting better. At the moment, I'm following a 10KM training regime; but what I'm hoping to gain from all this running is better endurance. It's a joy being able to track all my running statistics. For me, it's a really neat feeling and makes me look forward to my next run.

I've been running really late into the night. I'm up running when the city's sleeping, and what a great feeling it is. No cars to watch out for, no traffic lights to obey, no people to dodge; just you, the road, and the sound of your footsteps. The nights are cold and refreshing. The feeling of seclusion in a restless city by day is a phenomenal feeling.

I have to praise Nike for making such a remarkable pair of shoes. The Lunarglide is probably one of the most comfortable pair of shoes my feet has ever tasted. They literally feels like a customized pair of gloves that just fills your feet like a mould. It just seems to propel me forward after every footstrike. Just make sure you don't over tighten them like any other shoe. I love them and look forward to every single kilometer with them.

Anyone that wants to get in shape with running but hates running to begin with should try out the Nike+ system. The "hate" part of running is usually a short to last phase. If you rarely ever run, your body's bound to ache and hate you for making it suffer. Don't give up though; stick with it and your body will adjust to it within a couple weeks. Before you know it, I'm sure you'll be running distances you never thought you could.

Anyways, I'll end it here. Thanks for reading and happy running!
