When I started running a few years ago, the goal was a flat stomach which would have gone well with some cool shades. Well, the cool shades I have now.
And as some serious pain and disciplined eating are the impossible pre-requisites for the other,the only hope is that year of the dragon will just scare the fat away.
But as a friend and I were discussing, the main reason to run is the great adrenaline rush it provides, which is a truly astonishing feeling considering the doddering pace I stumble along at.
Anyway, the first few days of Tet have been fun and a bit unusual. We had a huge house warming party, I swam five metres without drowning and Aarti sent me hot steaming food for lunch in office!
And a 10km run was done today without too much fuss.
Who knows, perhaps the dragon might even be better than the cat.
Stick with it, and think about doing a triathlon – may sound crazy but the variety could keep you interested!
