Benefits of Exercise

I feel like posting some benefits about exercise to sort of inspire me again and build momentum on my upstart (for the nth time) in running. :)

Taken from Mayo Clinic...

7 Benefits of Exercise - click on the link for the complete article. ;)

1. Exercise improves your mood. - It sure makes me more jolly. No more mood swings. ;)

2. Exercise combats chronic diseases. - At big four zero, it's prevention time!

3. Exercise help manage your weight. - After splurging on food while on hiatus due to injury, I have gained more than 6 pounds. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!?!  :O :O :O

And then I saw my latest photo on the beach and I got scared. :( :( :(

Never saw my tummy this BIG!!! :D :D :D

4. Exercise boost your energy level. - From the weight gained, sometimes I feel so slow and heavy, I will make myself quick again. ;)

5. Exercise promotes better sleep. - Gotta get rid of that "Train coming sound" (aka snore). :D

6. Exercise can put the spark back into your sex life. - Not that I have a problem with this but it sounds really good! Hahahaha! :D :D :D

7. Exercise can be...holding my breathe...FUN!!! - I like!!! ;)

GP: Road ID & Firefly

Yehey!!! Thanks to my uncle for getting me Road ID and Firefly. :)

The Road ID with reflector strips wristband that gives a simple information regarding name of the person, contact numbers in case of emergency and I personally include my blood type.

While the Firefly Supernova is a red blinker that would make a runner more visible to the vehicles behind on a dark road. It can be clipped behind the neck line of the singlet, head band, wristband or anklet.

Now I have two safety gears to make me more visible on the road when I run at night. I can't wait to wear them. :)

You may visit the Road ID site for more details.

Run safe everyone and Keep on T runnin'. ;)

Pre RE: Run for the Dolphins...

I almost forgot, this is one of the best races that I missed in 2010. So, when the registration started last December, I registered right away. Dreaming to conquer the Skyway and now here's my chance. Starting next week, I'll ramp up my long runs because I was disappointed with my performance on my last race. Hoping to set a new 10K PR. ;)

Condura Skyway Marathon 2011

See you at the starting line and keep on T runnin'. ;)

DR: Breaching 5K...

It was another chilly evening and I just breached the 5k mark. Still feeling my knees and ankles if it can stand a further distance. The pain on my right knee has gone but the left ankle still has. ;)

Keep on T runnin'. ;)

DR: Happy New Year...

First of all, I'd like to greet everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!! :D

Let us all push for more miles this 2011! ;)

It was my first run to kick start my 2011 running season. The cold air could hardly make me sweat. I didn't push hard due to a slight pain in my right knee and left ankle. I guess rust has build up on my joints during my three weeks off. :D

Keep on T runnin'. ;)

DR: Breaking In...

Run a couple of loops last night just to break in the Nike Lunar Glides. The bounce and cushion compared to Nike Free Everyday is very much similar. Though the upper part are still stiff because it's practically new. With more mileage surely it will soften up. ;)

Thanks for readin' and keep on T runnin'. ;)

Pre RE: Help Give A Child A Pair Of Shoes...

When I was a kid, I dream that someday I will run the Milo Marathon. Then 30 odd years later, I am now registered to the Philippines most prestigious national marathon (How I wish the organizers and sponsors can make this international and put the Philippines on the international marathon map. Another tourism attraction!). Though I am still on the comeback trail sort of, I just registered for the 5k fun run. Hehehehe! :D

I'm sure glad in my own little way I can help to give a less fortunate child to have a pair of shoes. ;)

Thanks for readin' and keep on T runnin'. ;)
