(thinking about) Running

I had my surgery on 18 May 2006. I can run in 6 months' time. that will be from 17 November 2006. Gasp. I was just watching the replay of a soccer match on TV. And watching the players sweat it out, look so lean, run and look like it's nothing makes me so wanna run. Suddenly, i miss my lunch sessions at the gym.

Why should u run?

Well, if u weigh about 50kg and u run for 30 mins at a jogging pace, u burn about 300 calories.

Let's do some math.

1g of fat = 9 calories
1 kg of fat = 9000 calories

1 lunch session = 40 mins (i take 20 mins to change, bathe and run to and fro the gym)
40 mins of running = 400 calories (approx) (my treadmill says otherwise)
9000/400 = 22.5 lunch sessions to burn 1 kg of pure fat.
22.5/3 = 7.5 weeks (assuming u give up 3 lunches in a week)
7.5 weeks < 2 months.

PURE FAT. wow. think about it. That's the weight of 1 litre of water and the volume of about i dunno how many butters. And there u have it, in PURE FAT. inviting eh? We haven't even considered what a fat-burning machine u will be if u reduce food intake.

OK, this is it. I'm running once my doc says ok.

All this is assuming u run as slowly as me (no one does, i'm a very slow runner). But hey, if u run a little faster, u will burn more.


As u can see, i'm v bored. It's a Saturday and i'm home. Everyone else has plans but here i am. Bah. ok, i'm going to make another skirt, then watch OC.
