Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

So I think I'm running again.  Hopefully I sustain this.  And prove that this is a fitness blog first, food blog occassionally.  And not the fucking other way around.


TUESDAY
Tuesday I left the office a bit later than usual, around 645.  It was summer solstice, they said.  Well it looked like it too 'cause there was still some sunlight left, a bit of clouds.  Nice sight actually, a mix of grey, light blue, orange and black when you look at the sky.


Anyway I got home and put on my running attire - again, running shoes, black socks from work, shorts from work and my vneck undershirt. Hahaha.


This time though, I did a bit more walking since my legs and quads felt really stiff.  I walked 6 rounds of the oval, around 2.4kms, and then started my run-as-fast-as-you-can 200m and walk-easy 200m.  By the 3rd round I felt like giving up but I kept telling myself I had to at least surpass my 5 run-walk round Monday.


By the 4th round I was literally out of breath and was just pushing myself to brisk walk the last 10m.  The 200m "rest" was a welcome break from my smoker's lungs too.


5th round.  I realized half way that I wasn't breathing right.  Breathe in through the nose, breathe out through the mouth.


I finished.  It wasn't easier physically, but I actually felt the difference in my lungs.  Suddenly I didn't feel like fainting in the last 5m of the run part.


Sixth.  Seventh.


Seven rounds.  Finished it.  It was one of those "success!" moments.  I was alone but I had this smirk on my face not even Brock could wipe off.


WEDNESDAY
Wednesday was very different though, as I had guests from Manila doing some audit for some category in the accounts in PPS.


I initially wanted to run (and actually did go home early) but I realized I was being a bad host so I went back to pick him up and went to Kinabuch to grab a bite.  A lot.  Hahaha.  We had beef salpicao, pinaputok na samaral, green mango salad, and some woodworm or tamilok.  I had 2 cups of rice.


THURSDAY
Today was a looooong day for me at work.  I couldn't detail stuff here but you know how stressful things can be.  I got home around 6.30 so I dressed up - this time in board shorts, a bastketball jersey, quarter socks and my running shoes.  I decided also to walk all the way from my house to the oval, the distance of which I couldn't determine as of the moment, but took me 35mins to walk.


I did 9 rounds of run-as-fast-as-you-can 200m and walk-easy 200m.  I was breathing in through my nose, and out through my mouth.


I'm finally getting it!


On the way home though my legs were really tired, but alas, I had no money on me.  I HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY HOUSE again.


I got here and guess what I have no food in the fridge!


Forced exercise, forced diet.


I really hope this works.
