April Runs

Activities/Actions:

Ran outside more often and kept up with the pace. Anita, Cindy, and Yu-Hsiang joined me for couple runs. YH has agreed to go to run Taroko Marathon this year. So, we started training. Anita and Cindy have also pled to keep up with running. They are good runners!

Te-Ching joined Yu-Hsaing and I for a run one evening (the 22nd). We ran along my 3-mile route and continued to Taipei Public Military Cemetary, where we ran up hill and coming down by steps. We counted the total number of steps to be 650!
