Introduction to the World of Running

Summer 2003. First, we decided to run for 30 minutes during our work lunch breaks. It was hard I will tell you. Our physical condition was poor and we struggled to run our almost daily 3k, but as we kept running I could really feel the improvements. We then decided to set a goal: To finish the Corporate Challange 10k race 2003! My friend Elvira and I decided to join the Running Room 10k Clinic. It was the best! It educated us on various subjects related to nutrition and proper shoe selection. People have different reasons to start to run. It can be fitness, weight loss, stress relief or just to have fun! Mine was really to keep fit and improve heart conditions. Because the best well-known weapon to fight diseases is constant exercise and balance diet. Exercise lowers boold pressure and cholesterol levels. Above, all I am happy to have had the opportunity to explore running. The people we met during the journey, the challenges, the stress relief and the join to finish are all a great adventure!
