Johnny "Runner"... Keep running....

Haha! Finally went for my gym induction today. Now can use the gym liao.

At first when I heard of the gym induction, I was abit sian diao. Cos it smacks of SAF "CYA" (Cover Your Ass) mentality. But then what to do? If you want to use the gym then gotta go lor. In fact my original induction lesson was way earlier than today. I missed it to go to Brugge the last time. Haha!

Anyway the gym is fantastic. Super high tech.

I don't really care about the fitness equipment there. I'm just happy to see the treadmills, one whole super long row of treadmills. I really really need to run. Otherwise my cardio-pulmonary functions will start to degenerate. (In fact, it has ALREADY degenerated)

Ran to my hearts content. Can't say that I'm as fit as I was. But never mind. Can't expect myself to run as if last time when 40 SAR training for AHM like that. I felt good after the run. Feel as if I could breath better.

Oh ya. Another pleasant surprise. I lost weight!!! Haha! During the pre-ORD and post-ORD period I bloated up to nearly 70 kg. Fellow medics (e.g. Renhe) and my brigade senior medic all commented that I 发福了. Now, I'm a good 66kg ONLY!!! Haha!!!! Quite a surprise since I thought that by coming to UK (with the cold weather and all) I would get fat even more. Seems like that frugal and independent lifestyle has done me some good.

I plan to run regularly. Hope that I can keep the plan going. (for a reasonable length of time! haha!)
