My big problem is really <em>doing it</em>--you can talk about it as much as you want, but I\'ll still have a hard time even going out to run, but I think it\'s a good idea, and I\'ll definitely consider it. <strong>Naoko:</strong> I kind of see where you\'re going, and you may be right (although I\'m pretty sure it\'s the electrical bill she\'s worried about). About books, going to the library is a no-go. I would, but I can never find anything interesting. I usually ask around on the Internet for book recommendations (I\'m picking up <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_22\" rel=\"nofollow\" rel="nofollow">Catch 22</a> sometime this week, maybe tomorrow).

Running, reading, writing, dancing (the one where you dance like a lunatic in your own room) all these can help. My job requires me to sit in front of the comp for at least 8-9 hours, and when I go home it's another 4-5 hours before I finally hit the sack. In this case I'd agree with your mom. It's not so much that she's asking you not to be you, she's more concerned about your health. If you're picky when it comes to reading, why not stop by a library and go through their collection? If you can, stop by everyday after work and try to see if you can't find something you'd like. You'd be surprised at how fast the hours go when you're trying to find something good to read in the library. If you can't find it immediately, come back later. I hope this helps, even if it's a bit. ^_^ I agree with Bruce. Running, reading, writing, dancing (the one where you dance like a lunatic in your own room) all these can help.

I started running a couple of years ago and it's changed my life. OK, you're 15 and I'm approaching 40; you haven't had time to turn into a slob yet but it looks like you're going to give it a good shot :-) Your mum is right, you are spending too much time on your computer. Sure, you're learning lots, but there's more to life... it's all about balance. If you're not into running then try cycling... it's excellent exercise. Lots of people prefer it to running because you get to see more in the same time... it's less 'boring' I suppose although I don't find running boring (and it's great thinking-time too), and your whole body feels so much better for it. It will help your computing. Seriously. In either case, running or cycling (or whatever you do, in fact), enter some public events, like a half marathon or something. The buzz of the crowds is fantastic. If you have an event to work towards (it's almost always a half marathon or marathon in my case although I am doing my first cycling event, a duathlon, next month) then you will find it MUCH easier to stick at it.
