Top 5 Reasons to Start Running

Image
     Let's face it. Running has become a fad these days with people raging the streets at dawn, training on the track in afternoons, and of course who can forget posting photos on social media about the awesome post-run feeling they have (I so can relate)... and the list just goes on. But why run? Even as an amateur runner, people have asked me what is it about running that I love. Trust me, it's not only for what we call "body goals."      I've listed down my top 5 reasons for running...and I hope this convinces you to get those kicks on and be up for the challenge as well! 1. It's Cheap. Yep. THAT IS--- If you're just starting to run, you don't need all those fancy shmancy gear. Just buy a good pair of shoes and you're good to go.

For anyone who loves running, Nike Run is the app for you. I've been using this to track my runs since last year!

If you haven't started running, go and just do it! My Nike  Run+ ID: mitsuemartin See you in the stats!

Delving Into History: Hanoi, Vietnam

     Hanoi, Vietnam - This tantalizing city is a must-go for people who thirst culture, tradition and undeniably delicious food.      Working 9-5 everyday, I'd say traveling is one of the best, well I bet, the best   way to break the hard ice. I absolutely dread routine. And wow oh wow this trip spiked the energy and excitement within me!      A week after Lawrence's birthday, we were all ready for Hanoi! It was winter and superrr freezing at about four to eight degrees. This place is wet and humid on most days but temperatures drop drastically come January! What a big struggle it was at the beginning for someone who was so used to tropical weather! But why let the weather get in the way of an awesome adventure, right? That was the least of my concerns! It's time to set forth and just get lost in this city whose history is ever living. Hello from Lawrence and I!
