182!!

i love running.

but not outside on the street or on the beach -- i like it on a treadmill. i like the fact that it's just flat and stable and no matter how explosive i run i'm not crashing into anyone or a street lamp.

but i hate sweating and I HATE SWEATING!! it's very uncomfortable and sticky and gross. i can't stand it. so i usually end up not running in the gym.

BUT i don't wanna end up being one of those guys who look fit (by lifting weights) and in fact has a weak heart and a weaker lung function. so i've decided to take up running in the gym again.

i've ran before in the gym and i used to get that choking and burning sensation in my lungs really quick, but yesterday i was able to run for a whole 8 mins without any weird feeling in my lungs and only stopped because i didn't want to sweat. u might be thinking, "if he wasn't sweating yet, he must've not really been running hard enough." i was running hard enough -- heart rate at 166. i don't sweat easy.

today i decided to push myself more and i ran for more than 10mins on 7.7 spd with a heart rate of --- wait for it ------- wait for it ---- 182!! (i guess is not such a surprise if u noticed the name of this post... shut up! lol) my lungs had a little bit of weird feel, but really nothing compared to the past. so i guess my cardio actually went up, somehow, over the past yr and a half since i've stopped any cardio at gym.

next time, i'll bring a t-shirt to change into so that i wouldn't mind the sweating so much and run more hehe

i wonder if 200 heart rate not healthy to aim for... lol
