Running and Breaking Dawn

So I went for a run yesterday, well I usually run for about 2 minutes then I walk a little before I start running again. It turned out to be 45 Minutes, not bad at all.

Last night I realized that my running endurance is getting a little bit better, I could run longer before resting and walking. That is quite good and I am quite proud of myself especially since I never have been much of a runner growing up and until just recently.

I must admit that it hurts my legs still but nonetheless feels pretty good. I also did some Wii active afterwards. Yes, I know I may be nuts. ;) I decided to try the 30 challenge thing and I am set to stick to this for the entire 30 days without missing a day. So far it is pretty good, getting better with the exercise.

I love Wii active, I believe it is better than the Wii fit since it feels as if you would go to a gym and have a personal trainer set up a workout program for you and the set of exercises changes every day to help you work every part of your body rather than simply doing just one type of exercise.

I love the fact that there is a journal and nutrition feature, where you can enter what you eat and it lets you know how much calories, I think since I have yet to explore this feature in depth.

Don't get me wrong Wii fit is still pretty awesome, and I will eventually get back to the yoga, I just prefer to spend as much time outside as possible especially since it has been raining so much, when I see the sun I want to enjoy every minute of it.

I came back and read more of the fourth novel of the twilight saga: Breaking dawn.
I have to say I do love the story, I wasn't entirely certain I loved it before since it is more about the love story and wished it was darker, but it is supposed to be a love story between vampire and human.

I think I have been trying to compare it to Harry Potter, which I should not, it is a totally different story and of course nothing to me will compare to Harry Potter but it doesn't mean other series are not well written. I still prefer JK Rowling's writting style but the twilight saga isn't so bad. The first movie however seemed too teenish but I have to admit it is after all a teen series. Who knows perhaps the next movie might have more of a darker feel to it.

I need to finish this book, there are so many books I want to read I don't even know where to start.

I am also reading a tiny little book I found at this old book store that rarely ever is open. Basically you have to pass by and check to see if it is open. It is called: the return of the little prince I believe. The sequel to "Le petit prince". I had no idea there was a sequel to this book so when I found it I absolutely had to get it, and so far I love this story, there is so much more to it than a kid's story.

As september approaches, the sequel to the Hunger Games should be out soon: Catching FIre. I cannot wait. This means another book I need to put on my list to read. And I believe Dan Brown will have a new book called the lost symbol if I am not mistaking coming out during september as well.

Also at the end of August, there is the gatineau balloon festival that I absolutely cannot miss since Eric Lapointe is back. I need my dose of his music, it is like a drug I tell you. lol. He was in rehab last summer and cancelled almost all his shows, I usually see him at least once in the summer and I could not last year so now I NEED to go. Can't wait for the end of august and at the same time it means summer is over, which is a little depressing especially since we had a pretty crappy one, with way too much rain. Hopefully fall could be a little better with less rain and a little sun, I need my dose of sunny days otherwise winter will seem longer.

I have an idea for a video, I wrote a little script as well, I just need to film and edit it. It has been a while since I uploaded anything on my youtube channel. Sadly. :(

Well I supposed that is it for this update.

See you soon I hope.

Blog and Vlog Every Day April Initiative

Hello everyone

The other day I was just on youtube, watching some videos and came across this project or initiative rather called: "vlog every day april".

It was started by Maureen Johnson, she is an author, I know her because she wrote a short story as part of a book in which John Green (author of looking for alaska, paper towns and an abundance of katherines) who is a new favourite author of mine as well as a favourite vloggerand nerdfighter. Check out youtube.com/vlogbrothers.

She basically started this for herself, as a way to blog more and not make any excuses why she has no time to blog anymore. And a youtuber named nerimon thought was a great idea and started the Vlog Every April project saying he was going to take part in this initiative.

I also think it is an amazing idea so I have decided to follow in maureen johnson and nerimon's footsteps and take the challenge of making a vlog every day for the month of april.

Now I don't guarantee the vlogs being amazing, or long. They might be just a short little video sayign why today is awesome, because i have been thinking for a long time to make videos every day and finding ONE thing in my day that I could say is awesome.

If you think about it it can be quite beneficial, let's say you are having an aweful day at work and out of the blue someone you like and care about a lot sends you an email, tells you a joke that makes you laugh a lot, or decide to treat yourself to your favourite food, etc. Vlogging about it every day and saying this is why today is awesome can make you feel better in a second, don't you think?
