I went running! Me! I have always been terrible at running, but I thought I'd give it another go recently because a friend of mine said that he looses an immesnse amount of weight by running, which would be good for me because I've put on a bit of weight, while subsisting in a miserable manner for a while. Anway I thought I'd give it a go...but it did not go too well.
I set off at about 7, I went out along the back of Tongdosa, it was a nice view. Lots of farm land, I was looked upon by various Koreans as an oddity, probably because I am white, running...outside (they only run in the gym) and not wearing the running gear (because all Koreans have sports clothes for sports). I ran for a bit, slowed, then ran again and went on like that, but I rounded a corner and I took a breather, but then I heard a dog. I looked around, but it was difficult to see because it was getting dark. Then the dog came running out, it gave me a mighty suprise becuase it was a suprisingly big dog, some sort of mastif. It came running forward, which was not something I expected, so I legged it, it did come to a stop though, it was just on an obscenely long chain.
I kept running for a bit longer and found a 'sports centre' out in the middle of nowhere, it basically amounts to a astroturf pitch for football and tennis. So I turned around and went back, this time as I went past the house with the dog, I just fucking pegged it. Finally when I got home I realised that I had blisters on my feet, what!? Then I realised, oh yeah that's because my shoes are falling apart.
I have gotten to the point with my clothing that it is starting to fall apart. I could, I guess buy some more clothes while I'm here, but as a run low on clothes it will be easier to leave stuff here and transport less. Also I really hate shopping. So far, my shoes are falling apart - I should do something about that. Trousers falling apart etc - meh. Ah well.
Once I get some more shoes maybe I'll give running another go, but this time a different route.
