New year resolutions for 2013

I have been annoyed by back pain in 2012.  I am really grad that I almost overcome this problem.  The back pain problem inhibited me from running so I was not able to run well this year.  Here are the list of things I would like to achieve in 2013.

1.  Run one half and one full marathons.

2.  Resume vegan diet as much as possible.

3.  Take a two-week -vacation.

4.  Read at least 12 books.

Vegan again

Since I moved to Cleveland, it was extremely challenging to maintain vegan diet.  To be honest, I started to eat cheese and fish.  I had to go to restaurants for business meetings frequently, and most of restaurants in this city are not vegan friendly.  Now I would like to come back to complete vegan diet again.  I am thinking creative solutions how to satisfy my need to visit local restaurants for business meetings while bringing myself back to complete vegan diet.

Transformation

There is a morning when you realize you are transformed.  Last Saturday morning, I realized that I am transformed.  First I came back on a strict vegan diet again.  I start running seriously.  Finally, I resume this blog.  These are good changes happen to me.  I am glad that I am back on the right track.

Kindle vs iPad

I bought an Amazon Kindle last week.  So far I like this device very much.  I use both apple iPad and Kindle to read books, however, the biggest difference between these two devices is its weight.  iPad is, at least for me, too heavy to keep holding during long read.  On the other hand, kindle is light enough to hold for long time.  Indeed, I like Kindle's electric ink.  It is much easier to read than iPad display, especially in the outside.

Back to blogging again

Here I come back to this blog.  There were so many things happen in my life in last two years.  Some of them were good and others were not.  No matter what, life goes on.  Life is always tough for me, but I will keep up with it.  I decided to resume this blog again.
