The Beijing Olympics is getting nearer (you can almost hear the crowds roaring).

And The Beijing Olympics FAN! blog has been around for over a year now and I have to confess I’m not the very sporty type. Only until recently, I’m picking up running (try to be on a daily basis) again. The main reasons are that there is a great running track just next to where I’m living and the other inspiration is from this blog.

I’m running 6 rounds (about 2.4km) everyday.

It has been 2 weeks and from the initial 20-minute run-jog-walk to the present 16-min run-jog.

Yes, I’m impressed with myself with such improvement as I haven’t been running for nearly 10 years.

What I’m trying to drive at is to tell you to take up a sports…any one you enjoy or prefer and make it a point to do that sports on a frequent basis.

You don’t have to strive to be an Olympian but do strive to be healthy.

I can hear the crowds cheering for me everyday.
