Me & sports: an update :)

A while ago I posted (in dutch) about my recent efforts to get off my ass. In that particular attempt I actually made it until the 12th podcast running session, having done one or two of the weeks twice. Pretty cool for a first attempt huh? But yes, it was a first attempt so I slacked for a few weeks, did another half-hearted attempt that lasted only a week and then stopped again.

However I’m getting the impression that I’m on the right track this time around. I’m not entirely sure what is different now except for some gear, which is obviously important but there seems to be more to it. Maybe I’m getting the hang of it? I’m still nowhere near really ‘liking’ the exercise, but I do like how it shows me I can do something I recently thought I would never be able to. So yay for me

Besides running I also find myself looking for other forms of exercise: on Thursday the week before last I went to check out an aerobics and a pilates lesson, and a plan to go there again this week. Last Friday I had fun at the company tennis match that I wouldn’t have considered signing up for before (well technically I didn’t, but I let a colleague talk me into it). Tomorrow I’m going to buy some rackets and balls so Habbie and me can go out for a few rallys on the public court in the park next door. Interestingness!
