In the past, I used to be horrible at running. I’m starting to do more of it at the Ymca in Greenwich on the treadmill. In the past, when I try to run I usually get tired by 10 minutes… then I slow down and walk the rest of the way. Now I’m no longer doing that.

I don’t know how people can run for miles and miles nonstop like they do ’cause I could never do that but I guess it takes a lot of practice to get good at running for a long time.

Well today at the gym, I ran on the treadmill for 4.3 mph for a full 30 minutes straight without slowing down at all… so I ran a little over 2 miles on it which is pretty good.

I took Arnold’s advice to never be afraid of failure in fitness and his advice worked. What helped me is that I listen to music on my Ipod while running which kept me motivated not to slow down.

I wanna do more running this summer. I should be doing running outside but I wanted to see how I do on the treadmill first.

I like doing my cardio. Biking, running or jogging are my choices. I do cardio all year round so I can keep my bodyfat low and keep my muscular physique.

I wanna get better at running ’cause it’s real good for ya.

The question is will I ever do those 5k races that sometimes the town does? Not sure yet but I’ll consider doing something like that in the future.

I’d like to get into more swimming too. I’m not the best swimmer anymore like I used to be. I don’t swim too much anymore so I forgot most of the swimming strokes so I don’t swim well like I used to but I would like to take swimming lessons again if I can find something.

Exercise is good. Yeah, I’m still going and feel real good.
