Good day everyone. The short holiday proven that I have very little control on my appetite. I know it's all excuse, I'm just saying I allowed myself to give way, rest too much and work too little to burn my calories off.

The good thing being, I'm actually feeling a lot better these days after stopped running for couple of months now. I haven't really push my limit and started to pickup interval light jogging again, and the timing is not too bad. Well, although it still looks like a power walk, but I'm sure it make me feel so much better.

I'm not a regular runner even before I have problem with my knees, but I do prefer running than power walk. I like the pump, the feeling of sweating until my underpants can squeeze fluid(oh wait, I think I don't wear one when wearing leggings). Due to the knee pain, I was told by doc to go easy and to never run again.

After rested several months, and taken down several pounds, I actually feeling a little easier and try it out with light jog. So far the total 2 days got absolutely no problem. The knees are still clicking a little, but there's no obvious pain except the less trained calves. I'm tempting to push forward and quickly get myself back to 5km run, but my stamina simply isn't here anymore.

I understand the term muscle memory, I must say I don't have that amount of muscle even before I stopped running. So, I don't know what they remembered these days and all I can wished for is quickly get my lungs capacity back up, go out there and have the pump again.

Life is a bitch, but I don't hate it. I let myself down to this shit, I'm the one responsible to pull myself up again. The job still suck, but I need to rearrange my life, suck it up, commit to it and live well. Hopefully you guys will see a lot more of my running journey (and hopefully the knees doesn't complain, or will be back to walking).
