My dad works in electronics. I love the guitar and the violin. I am from China. I speak Mandarin. I can only play ping pong. I love chocolate. I do not like white chocolate.
I love sports. My parents are athletic. I speak another language. I love running in marathons. I eat without slurping or making a mess. I am a life coach.
Are you planning on running in any marathons soon? Yes, I'm training for one right now that I'll run on Memorial Day! I'm looking forward to it. I'll probably take off for a few months after that because of the heat. Oh Wow! I hope you have a great time. Is it for any particular cause? Yes, this one is to support homeless Veterans. I try to pick good causes when I run but I do non-charity runs too sometimes. Do they do similar marathons where you're from? That is an amazing cause! Yes, we have several around here each year. That's great! I know your sport is pingpong, but have you ever thought about trying running? It's a little hard to get started but it's fun once you're used to it. I'd really like to but I have some weak ankles. Any tips to get started? Yes, you should see a podiatrist/foot doctor before you start. They can give you insoles for your shoes that adjust the way you step to make your ankles stronger. After that, look online for something like couch to 5K. It starts you out very slowly so you don't wear yourself out too early. Oh ok! Thank you for the tips. I kind of thought I may need to see a doctor but to be honest I was trying to avoid it. I know, it's a pain to go to the doctor. I had to get insoles myself because I have a really high arch and get plantar fasciitis. Once you go though you'll scold yourself for not doing it sooner, I did! That gives me hope! I really think I have a case of plantar fasciitis myself. Sometimes its so hard to get up and get moving. Oh, especially with plantar fasciitis! the insoles will definitely help. Also you can stretch your toes back toward you for a while before you get out of bed in the morning and that helps.
