I’d also like to add to Ayo’s comment. When you look at the happy Buddha figurines and statues in Japan and other countries in Asia, what do they share in common? A big, fat, roly-poly tummy. There are even places where people go just to pat or rub the protruding tummy of a Buddha image, for good fortune and happiness.

Do you and Ayo think there is a link between a fat tummy and joy? Food for thought from Japan – Catrien Ross.

Step by step is the right approach to everything. What I do is keep a log of my exercises. I haven’t made it public like you, but that’s a great idea.

Thanks for sharing buddy.

Thanks for that one! Exercise is indeed very important! I run three times a week, making a total distance of 25-30 km – Mon./Fri. 10 km endurance training and Wed. 5 km speed training.
It helps not only to feel better physically but also to relax my mind.

I will run a 10 km race in five weeks and I’m looking forward to the first race I compete on my own desire!! It’ll be a lot of fun!

And I like to emphasize on something you pointed out as well. Forget about the “week-thing”, it’s a long term benefit so start slow! Step by step!

Something that helped me to keep on my training was publishing my results every time after training on (pick your favourite social networking website). It’s not about telling everybody how “great” I am, it’s just people get used to read that…So they will ask about it maybe they even leave a comment. Everybody likes comments, so you will have an extra incentive

Best reagards and keep on going,
