I grew up in an environment where I go to school 6 days a week and only spend time with our parents on a Sunday afternoon. Later on, that changed since I would work 7 days in the week to pay for my tuition and books so I guess in a nutshell - weekend were all meshed together. At least now, my weekends are a little different.
I spend the weekdays being at work, getting my mid day exercises and the weekend, I would get up 4:30am to get ready to run with the Galloway group - at times 10 miles. I often wonder why I do this and it certainly is not for the love of running but for the friends I have met through the years. In as much it is tough getting up so early while others sleep, I do it because I am a people person and I love being with people. I would not know what to do if I was not with someone or somebody or some place.
Oh totally, after runs - I am exhausted but I would not have it any other way. So now, today is Sunday, I used to partake in Warrior and topaz classes and I wish I can do all of them on a given Sunday but I have chosen to do Sparta - because this class kicks my butt, it messes with me mentally and physically and with a new mindset of how I would like to train - I am trying harder because I don't want to get fat or out of shape ever again and also, I want to get stronger and leaner for health reasons and someday I want to climb that rope, do those pull ups, chin ups without the bands. There are others but I will set tiny goals.
My mindset on how I train now has changed since doing weight training with my trainer, Jackie - I am not a motivated type person to do things on my own so having Jackie kick my butt was somewhat a wake up call for me. I realize that the only person who can make a difference is yourself and she has made me realize what my potentials are and what my strengths and weaknesses are.
With both my trainer and Sparta - my goals are to become stronger, leaner, healthier , run more efficiently and not get hurt - and never to become fucking fat again - Gee I may even want to revisit another Sprint TRI next year - not sure about the FULL marathon but a HALF is a doable race -it would be my 6th I think!
So after Sparta today, I went go to bootcamp -
Where do I get my energy - I never sleep, I never rest!
