nike, jobs and tricky

Yes. I am a Nike-head. I don’t think I could just wear their exercise clothes all the time and never exercise but the shoes and jackets are still a favorite of mine.

I fell off track all last week. I think it was from riding MARTA and walking around so much that I didn’t think to continue running to catch that second wind of energy. I did this week and that’s all that matters so far.

Life is tricky, therefore, I’ll be spending the rest of my week listening to Tricky to keep my cool for this upcoming job interview. I’m excited to have it and I hope I’ll be able to fit their needs. I just want to stay in Atlanta. If I get this job, I’ll finally be somewhat happy.

Only because lately, I’ve been wondering about what London is like. That is my next goal to get there.

training log 9/10

I’ve been going on easy runs because I’ve been too lazy to change my alarm clock on my phone. I finally changed it today back to 0715am. While I’ve been easy running I find that I’m lasting longer than when I started three weeks ago. It’s two more weeks until graduation and I still have a thing for smoking cigarettes. If I can get myself on a regular schedule, I’ll be all right. I just hit a short rough patch that I’m not in a mood to freak out about. I’m just dusting off my shoes, re-adjusting my schedule and going back at it. In other words, if I use blogging as my crutch for a while I’ll be on a decent schedule.

Quick, easy runs through Freedom. Make the mornings feel crispy and not so hot yet.

Hopefully, this week I’ll get a job that way I can better my normal diet. That will make me happy.

Haha! This is how I am at the current moment. Running does suck when you start. It still sucks for me now. I just like the natural high of accomplishing something I view as difficult.

Ha! You thought I got lazy again and stopped running? No. I didn’t. I just been lazy about blogging this shit. However, I will say that the path next to my house is great for kicking up running. It has ups and downs and still covers a 4 mi distance. A moderator on a forum I post on gave me a great idea. I want to train to run a 5K. I may not actually do it but it will make a chance to run for longer amount of time. I still have to walk/run but I got better posture now. Stretching is really coming in handy as well as the core/strength training. In a month or so, I want to change up the workout to Plyometrics and running.

I’m condensing this post because the stats are the same as the previous entry. My roommate wants to run with me more and more. That makes me so excited. Too bad our friend thinks we’re losers for doing it. He just doesn’t know what he’s missing out on in the early morning runs. Much, much more peaceful than I expected and now Im not afraid (and too lazy) to wake up early and get started on the day. I may not have a job now but it may come in handy later.

Specs from previous workouts:
4.11 mi., walking and running intervals, more running this time. Went off into Highland route: has more difficulties to overcome. Better for training.

Adding core and strength in middle of workout this week.

Going to post a running ad soon…

I think I lost my lazy somewhere around Freedom and Highland. It wore me down. Hard. I had my roommate next to me keeping pace and pushing to go further. I showed him the new route I travelled yesterday and he was down for the cause. We travel and ran out of air quite often. Ah hell. We’re doing it again tomorrow. I gotta stretch my calves for the rest of the day since those are the first things to lock up on me. Not to mention my knees thereafter. I need to work on those, too.

Specs are the same as yesterday:

4.11 mi., walking and running intervals, more running this time. Went off into yesterday’s route: has more difficulties to overcome. Better for training.

No more Coca-Cola (my boyf is proud of that). Only juice and water. Chicken, lean beef and omega-3 fish. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains. Cheeses! Dark Chocolates! Nut Harvest Trail Mix! Oh my!

Found a great place to stretch before lift off. Danny returns with me tomorrow morning. Getting close to running for 4 minutes without becoming too tired or out of breath.

Yes! Progress! But in dire need of shoes with better cushioning.

new travel distance for the week:

4.11 mi., walking and running intervals, more running this time. much better posture and breath control.

0730am-9am, new street terrain in Atlanta. Quieter, more park distance to cover.

Stretched calves, shins and lower back. Landed on ball of feet much better.

Today… start making changes to normal diet. Building on better carbs, proteins and water as hydration. Last day to drink Coca Cola and smoke cigarettes. Tomorrow will be different. Gotta ween off the nicotine.
