I finally took a break from canoeing.. I always wanted to, but cannot bring myself to do it for some reason or another..

But currently I am having diving lessons and trying to clock mileage for running. But running alone is boring.. Anyone who wants to run and wants a buddy can see if i am free to run.. =)

Diving lessons are ok except for them being soooooooooooo colddddddddddddddddddd.. Hurhur, the wet suits doesnt really keep me warm and I was practically shivering while lessons are going on.. Another complain will be that the air we breathed from the oxygen tank.. Its super dry.. After a while, your throat will gets dry and scratchy.. With my half-recovering inflamed throat, it makes things worse..

But other than that, its quite fun.. To be able to stay underwater and breathing.. Swimming around with fins is definitely harder than it looks.. Besides that, the techniques taught are easier than they seem..

Diving seems quite dangerous actually.. The fear of not enough air for you to get out from the depth you are in, and the fear that your lungs will explode when you ascend.. Hmmmmm, *shivers down my spine*..

This seems more dangerous than cycling on the road..
