Riding Taipei's YouBike bike-share program.
One of the things I liked when I visited Taipei, are their bike-sharing programs. Imagine getting to sneak in an enjoyable activity and a work out in your daily commute at the same time! My younger brother, who worked in Taipei for a while, had gotten super fit from walking and biking to get around the city.

Dennis, Per, and I signed up for the 10K category, but ended up officially running around 12K from the route. No worries, as that meant we could eat more servings for breakfast after.

If you did, and this movie happened to be Saving Sally, then you probably saw a familiar character zooming in and out the screen.
Oh, yes, the beloved masked running man from U.P. (or rather, a character in his likeness) was one of the Easter eggs in the movie. How cool is that?!?! :)

Staying fit is a combination of a balanced diet and exercise, that's for sure. But more that that, it's a combination of the ff. things: Motivation, Non-deprivation, Moderation, and Substitution.
On that note, I want to share something I whipped up in the kitchen. Home cooking lets me determine exactly what and how much I'm putting into a dish.

Every year in a mid-March summer's day, all the doggies come out to play. Actually, more of a 1.5K, 3K, or 5K fun run!
The annual Pet Express Doggie Run was held last weekend, and it was definitely a howling success! Now on its 6th year, around 1500 doggie runners turned up to run for PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society), and raise money for the animal shelter.

Technically, Dani's first official run would have been the Pet Express Doggie Run back in 2013. But since she was still in a stroller then, then this would be her first run-run. ;)
