Another attempt....strike two!

Fun on the run....

Recently I became interested in running and decided to check out the trail around the lake in my apartment. The trail has a beautiful locale around it and takes you into a path with trees on both sides that give you a forest feel. Just the environment gives you the motivation to run more rounds even though I seemed to lose all my energy after a couple of errands.

Only then, I realized energy conservation is a key to cover more distance. But reckless spending of energy led to exhausting my resources within a couple of rounds. But I was happy that I was not causing environmental damage by this and also given the fact that bigger corporations who were supposed to conserve were in fact exhausting energy resources, I did not care that I was burning my own energy. No guilt involved you see! The other relieving factor was that human energy is renewable in the sense that I can gain the energy I lost after the next meal. Unfortunately, there is no alternative energy source as my body had to spend the calories to make me run the whole distance.

But in any case, I concluded that it can make a person healthy, lose calories and improve stamina. So there I decided that I should make more such rounds around the lake and have some fun on the run. So here I am taking my music player and off to the lake.
