Catharsis, health benefits, weight loss, toned legs, increased endurance. They all sound good to me. I’ve always been a sprinter and the constant heavy resistance with low reps is building up my calves and I’ve pulled far too many muscles. I need to get a better pair of runners too. The transition from sprinting to long-distance running will be a big one. I’ve a lot of fast-twitch muscle fibres as opposed to slow-twitch fibres. On account of my inactive lifestyle of late (which is because I’m underweight at the moment), it appears my muscles have atrophied so perhaps that will work in my favour. Increased susceptibility to shin splints, ITBS, knee, hip and ankle injuries concerns me but I suppose all forms of exercise entail some degree of risk.
I’d like to reach the stage where I will be able to run 9 minute kilometres for 7km, once a week. I need to remember to stretch before and after exercising.
Originally, my goal was to run 10 kilometres twice a week but that would place far too much pressure on my joints. Moreover, the notion of attaining such a goal doesn’t seem feasible with my semi-developed inclination toward sprinting, inexperience with middle distance and long distance running and time constraints. I’m far too slim at the moment, anyhow.

Completed reading on 28.09.09.
8.3/10 – Heart-rending, engrossing novel. There were an abundance of passages that are worthy of quoting. Commendable characterisation, and I appreciated being taken through the shades of grey. On the flip side, the story came with many platitudes and a certain aspect of the ending was disappointing.

Wish enough, wise man’ll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who’d have thought that you’d dream
Of a single tragic scene
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you
Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that’s true
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can’t point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don’t know
You don’t know the greatness you are
Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny’s scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you…
