If I run more, I could eat more
The Watsons Finals on Saturday was great, I got some free tickets from my morning league teammate and spent the whole day in Victoria Park Centre Court watching some of the best women’s tennis in the world, that should have justified my skipping of the regular practice at HKU. The seats we had actually cost HK$680 each and were right behind the Players’ Box, that means we were just two rows from the court! I could literally touch Kim Clijsters or Lindsay Davenport! There’s nothing better I could ask for. I can’t wait to see them again next year.
Meanwhile, I have finally started my training for the 10KM run last week. I now go to the gym three times a week with my new, expensive pair of Mizuno running shoes. 
Under the advice of professional coach, I took things as slowly as I could because I am an absolute beginner (and definitely not a good runner). I only ran 3KM every time during the first week, using the most comfortable (lazy?) speed and trying to practice different ways of breathing. The last recorded time was around 22 mins and heart beat rate was at 157 the highest. I plan to increase the speed and distance gradually, so that I could finish the 10KM race in around an hour ultimately.
The gym is right next to my office, usually it won’t take me more than 45 mins to complete the training and shower. I find it extremely convenient and have no clue why many people say I don’t have time for exercises.
