Dear avid readers,
Welcome to 'The Fat Burning Chronicles'. My first blog post is entitled 'the reason', simply because it seems only fitting that before inviting you guys to take this journey with me I should first explain ... well, what the journey is for starters.
Well, in High school I was very athletic, I was on the school soccer, field hockey and athletics teams. I loved everyone of these sports but my true passion, bordering on obsession, was Cross-country running. To practice, I ran 4 days a week and still attended all the other team practices. Definitely one of the most fun times in my life. But when I left high school two years ago, I stopped running consistently for one reason or another and subsequently lost fitness and put on a bunch of weight. Now that I'm in College and out of excuses, I want to get fit again and surpass my earlier cross-country and short-sprint running times. Thus, in this blog I will document my experiences everyweek trying to get back into good enough shape to run competitively next semester, trying to balance school with sports and generally my experiences as a new international student at Penn State. Fortunately, it seems, this blog will kill two birds with one stone by giving me motivation to stay committed to running and fulfill my writing class' passion blog requirement.
Honestly, I'm pretty psyched, I should have done this years ago!
