Running from Dublin to Kiev



















Yes, it's true it's not a mistake. Finally I have my 1st running log and it's helping me track my workouts. It's giving me the options to set different type of goal and I choose the challenge of running from Dublin, Ireland to Kiev, Ukraine. The total distance is 2777,73km and now I'm running on the way to Liverpool and there are 148 km to reach the 1st city on the road to Kiev. I'll keep you updated about the progress every week. I'm so exited and ready to add some more kilometers to my running log. If someone is interested the software I'm using is Runner's Studio, If you are keen fan of running you can check it out and you'll impressed by it's functionality.

And finally this post I'm sharing one of my favorite running quotations:

"It's never too hot. It's never too cold.You're never too tired. You are never too busy. Put your shoes and GO RUN!"

Running


This summer I decided I'll do something pleasant for my body and health. I decided to go back to active sport again. I decided to go back to running as the easiest way to practice it. It was easy a pair of shoes and you go on the road, of course it was not easy in the beginning after stopping active sport in the winter of 2007th. Then it became easier I started loosing weight I bought professional gear in order everything to be safe and to prevent injuries. I totally changed my way of eating and living.
Few months later I lost 8kg running became purpose not only for loosing weight but for feeling refreshed, mentally free and now I'm even more motivated than I was in the beginning.I decided to run a marathon next spring. My passion and knowledge that I gained pushed me to create a group in Facebook dedicated to the people in Bulgaria that are running. I had second reason - the youth and the society in Bulgaria has the big problem of not having active life and the problems with overweight. I tried to add some facts about the benefits of running and how to do it properly and safe. For now I have 55 people joined and I'm happy that some of them are not friends of mine but friends of the idea of running :) I hope that the group will be growing and I'll be updating it with more useful info that I'm gaining from a different sources but the main is the www.runnersworld.com.

Whatching old movies...

Better later than never it sounds so truism :P Yes it's true! It's one of the times that you are looking into the future and you feel unsafe and you need another challenge to prove that you are capable and you are still in the game :). In this very moment I found a little piece of time to practice one old hobby - watching old movies. In the times we are living it seems that new cinema is not so often going to humans emotions and values but more to the impressive, polished and sometimes senseless effects. That's why from time to time I'm looking for something valuable from the previous years that for sure i will enjoy even after spending some time looking for it. That's how i came to "The Shawshank Redemption", I remember a friend of mine that recommended it to me some years ago and i was postponing watching it. May be it was good that I discovered it now in this moment of hanging and making the 1st steps to the stage of my life. I'm 24 years now willing to explore the world and to develop by interacting with different kind of people from different cultures and the most important finding the value that I can bring not only to me but to the world around me. That value was always driving me till now cause i always care about the people i value and i meet in my life. In this 2h 14 min watching the movie I realized again how important is the fate that you need to have cause fate in something alway works and helps in the hard moments that seems so long. I will memorize one thought from the movie "Get busy living or get busy dying!". It's so simple and clear and brings so much sence doesn't matter if you say it now 4000 years ago or in the future. So let's get busy living :P ...
