It has been my dream that I would one day run a marathon and write a book. Living in sprints, I found myself doing two half marathons and becoming a blogger. Works for me! In grade school, the gym teacher told me, “You are built for long distances!” Well, after being so out of breath trying to keep up with my long legged friends, I set running as a long distance goal. Leaving home and moving overseas, I experienced some homesickness and insomnia when an idea struck me, “Why not go for a run?” I left my apartment in Tokyo, Japan and ran a couple blocks and back. That night I slept like a baby. So I signed up for a gym. There I could train and fully relieve myself of stress. Now, I just had to figure out how to use all this equipment!
