Hi there everyone! ?Hope you are all enjoying the new year! ?Has everyone managed to keep their New Year’s resolutions? ?I am slowly but surely on my way. ?I may as well tell you one of them today. ?I was never a big advocate of gym class growing up. ?In fact, as the smallest kid in my grade for most of my life and one of the worst at any ball sport, I was sure that this would never change. ?But when I hit university I started going to the campus gym and got a little hooked on fitness. ?After coming to Japan, I got swept up in the running craze and finished my first half marathon in January 2012.

But after I started job hunting and after I moved to Yokohama, I took a bit of a break from fitness. ?I have definitely gotten out of shape, and though I am not horribly fat or anything like that, I think this year is a time for me to get back to where I used to be. ?If I can, I want to run another marathon before the year is over and hopefully do it under 4 hours.

I have another reason for this. ?There is someone where I work who never ran a marathon in her life and she ran in the Honolulu marathon last year. ?She beat my marathon time. ?I find this unacceptable. ?So, in a petty and childish, this whole thing is an attempt to crush my co-workers and be the most in shape person in the office.

I still have a way to go, but I will try my best, even if it isn’t for the best of reasons.

Until next time,

Anand
