September 9th I launched my little project of “On the road to a energized life” where I asked everyone to join me in getting physically active to gain energy on a day to day basis.
And that was it. It went of track on the blog and I didn’t even touch my blog until last week again.
So how did I do otherwise?
I started running. First I bought my first pair of proper running shoes. I spent as much money as I could on a pair of fancy shoes at a specialty store, thinking that it would get me motivated by making me feel bad for wasting money if I didn’t use them for running.
Let me tell you, it really worked.
I actually got a few friends to join me. We started out being 4 and it went pretty well. We used a running program called from Sedentary to 5 K and it was at least not killing us easy, at least in the beginning.
As the amount of time spent running got higher, one after the other couldn’t keep it up.
Now we are two and we are totally off the charts. No we have not reached our goal of 5 K, we just decided we needed some more time building up our stamina to get there. I actually did 2 K today.
Our goal now is to be able to do a 5 K by Christmas. And as long as we are able to do 3 runs a week we are happy.
In September I felt myself being full of High Negative Energy and Low Negative Energy. Self assessing myself again I find that I am still full of Low Negative Energy, but I am also full of High Positive Energy. This to me is a good sign.
The High Positive Energy I know for sure comes from running. I actually feel like running now and get jittery if I miss my running one day.
The Low Negative Energy is probably because I have had a lot going on these last few months. I am slowly finding ways to work on these issues and I will talk more about it at another time.
For now I will just celebrate that I am back at blogging and I ran 2 K today.

Great job! I fell off the wagon in terms of exercise. I need to get back on!
