running
i've been using app on my phone to track how much i ran. but my phone has reached its life and no longer wishes to track my routes for me. i may have to invest in a new gadget; a gps watch.
anyways, this is the longest run so far. just a month ago, i couldn't even run 5km non-stop. now, i am reaching for 10km. it is unbelievable how much i improved since january when i started running. i still do feel like my lungs are going to burst and my legs will fall apart, but it is a great feeling. i enjoy it very much and the sense of accomplishment at the end of a run is truly amazing and rewarding.
i feel my legs becoming stronger, my heart pumping faster, my lungs expanding.... best of all, i feel great. i still have to work on eating healthier, which is super super hard when all i crave are carbs, but slowly my body is showing progress. i know many people who start running give up quickly because you don't get to see the results right away considering it is an intense exercise. but running is a challenge only you can overcome.
the last 100m or so of the finish point is when i give all i have, squeeze that last juice of energy and make a dash for it. the adrenaline is simply mind blowing. running has been a great help for me especially lately to stay focused and clear my thoughts. running is for life..... for me.

summer picnic
last weekend, carl and i packed little lunch and went to high park for a sweet summer picnic date♥
(you can get the recipe for the tuna salad roll i made here)
the weather was just perfect. with cool breeze from the forest, it was a perfect day for a romantic walk-in-the-park.
one day old capybara, biggest roden in the world. wow... even one day old baby is the size of full grown bunny. yikes.
high park zoo was having a fundraising event to raise $50,000 to keep the zoo up and running. we made a small donation and got a badge saying 'i ♥ high park' i love it!
we spent time lying down, looking up at the gorgeous sky full of green leaves.
this is one of the best things in life you can enjoy whenever the weather permits, especially in long-wintered toronto.
