I have decided to give running a try again. Ten years ago, I used to run track but things got busier and it was just easier if I just let go of running.

Ten years later and XXX lbs heavier, I need to take drastic action to lose weight before U hit the big 3-0. It is too bad that I have big size 11 feet, flat footed and have a tendency to overpronate my heels. Since I could not find anything in the city that I like and will fit me (hence, men’s running shoes are out of the question), I ordered it online. I went through the Nike “What’s your perfect shoe?” test and Lunar Glide+ came among the top 5. It was the nicest I saw among the five (Of course, style would always count) so it was a done deal.

For now I am going to make do with my fake sneakers while I wait for this baby to come home. It’s a good thing we have two ipods to choose from so that if ever I decide to give the Nike Sensor running kit a try, it would be easier to track my miles.

Please say a little prayer that I do this. I did a test and if I just be consistent and lose two lbs a week, I’m going to be in my ideal weight by January next year, just in time for my birthday celebration at the beach!
