discz b-log

well its been quite a long time since i last posted anything

at the moment, my roommate is blasting music indiscriminately

hes probably going to be yelled at by the girl next door yet again

i remember her putting up a facebook status of

“playing loud punk music doesn’t make you punk”

i laughed really hard at that (on the inside)

well anyways

yesterday i gave a pint of my precious life energy to the american red cross

in turn i got a sweet new long sleeve t shirt

even though its a XL i’m still happy

(i love free stuff)

random side note:

yeah the ladies directing the blood drive were really funny

they were.. really.. “black”?

that sounds racist, but i’m not sure how else to put it

maybe culturally enriched?

whatever

but either way, they were mad cool

however, when she was pulling the monsterous needle out of my arm

she messed up

blood kinda spurted all over my arm

i was like..

“wow dude that’s my blood”

(in my head again)

i just acted like a man and pretended i was fond at the sight of blood

after having had my blood drawn

i didn’t really feel anything immediately afterwards but man i felt it today

during conditioning today my heart rate wouldn’t slow down

my endurance was at rock bottom

and we almost got into a fight with people for court space

(yeah it gets good)

well we had just finished our ladder of sprints

we probably did a mile of sprints

and like a mile of other random running drills

doesn’t seem like a lot

but when you’re running as hard as you can

it sucks..

huge..

black..

veiny..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

..RAISINS

i bet you thought of something else didn’t you?

haha yeah, on with the story

we had just finished our sprints and we try to claim just one half of a basketball court

i mind you they did NOT have a game going

so we thought we could take half the court

turns out they were about to play a full court game

so we asked them if they would mind if we could took half the court

for one thing

they were just a group people playing ball

(which is cool)

i felt kinda like an ass trying to restrict them

but you know our CLUB team never gets any court time and we have a tournament this weekend

i was kinda bent on getting this area

we tried to be as nice about it as possible

but then this “gentlemen” started yelling and saying “yo” every other two words

yelling “yo we goin’ play ball, yo. yo we be here yo. yo to other courts yo.”

or something along those lines

but yeah

i got sort of pissed

he was rising his voice and yelling like he freakin’ owned the place

so i started walking toward him asking

“why you raising your voice man?”

i don’t remember exactly what else i said but i honestly wanted to kick him in the face

i remember cruton saying something like..

“we have ten people, you have ten people; why can’t we split the courts……. SON?”

hahahaha!

(70% of them were black)

although one of them was being a douche

everyone else was chill about it

honestly though, i thought we were going to start fighting after cruton said that..

he told us later that it accidently came out

luckly before anyone (including myself) got really mad, danny handled the situation with his “skillz”

anyways yeah we ended up getting a free court on the other side

everything ended nice and peacefully

oh yeah! i forgot to say how badly i sucked today

i got tired after like 1 minute of playing time

who knew blood was so important?

yeah thats all for tonight

peace homies

today was a rather pleasant day

i went to class

eat food

more food

and more food

mostly fruits and small snacks to maintain my metabolism

anyways

i’m now going to assess my over all performance increase

well first of all

i lost about 15 pounds of body fat

but gained something along the lines of.. 5 pounds of muscle?

or maybe, its 5 pounds of fat

and 15 pounds of muscle?

beats me

but i’m averaging at about 170 pounds

i’m pretty satisfied with where i am

however, i’ll strive even further!

today i had a time trial!

i call it the “mile”

pretty original right guys?

well i manged to achieve a mighty 5:51!

(minutes:seconds)

but i was pretty proud of myself

we decided to time ourselves every 2 weeks or so

although i’m thinking of timing myself every month instead, haha

well on with other matters!

using a cool site called..

http://www.marathonrookie.com/index.html

i managed to find a marathon that me and my homies can run

its conveniently located in frederick, maryland

its called the..

..BAH, BAH, BAH, BAHHHHHH

FREDERICK RUNNING FESTIVAL

it has a half marathon, and a full marathon if i read it correctly

i’m not exactly sure which one i want to do

but i guess i have time to decide later on

well thats all for now

peace homies

i haven’t posted anything in a while

but heres a short post for you

it’s 9:15 AM

and my whole body hurts

a lot

knees are swollen

shoulder muscles are fatigued

charlie horses in my quadriceps

torn skin on my elbow

feels like i tried to layout for a disc way out of bounds or something

oh wait

..i did

it also kinda feels like i got clipped by cruton with his chest muscles

that’s right

..i did

ha, well last night was still a lot of fun

got class soon

peace

well today was rather fullfilling?

i went to class

payed attention

studied after class

went to class again

studied some more

then at 9 pm i went to conditioning

it wasn’t that intense but it was still a fairly good workout

 

i’ve dropped about 10-15 pounds since the start of my own training regiment

i’m pretty sure i dropped a pant size or two as well

it’s kinda cool maybe?

i think PJ is joining in on the fun

‘fun’ being painful leg mangling training

(not too sure about carlos, his will waivers sometimes)

 i’m sure PJ will cut twice as much as me if he doesn’t waiver!

especially if he doesn’t reach for a fourth plate of rice

this is somewhat random but i realized if you don’t diet AND exercise

you’re not going to lose weight 

i remember i read these wise words somewhere

 

a patient asks:

“which should i do to lose weight, diet, or exercise?”

doctor/expert replies:

“do you want your airplane to have one wing or two?”

 

well enough of that

remember when i said carlos, PJ, and i were going to participate in a marathon?

well i think we’re serious

(i know i am)

carlos happened to come across a pretty gnarly site for marathon beginniers

heres the site:

 

marathonrookie.com

 

i read through some of the training programs and such

it’s pretty intense

in the 10k training schedule

you end up running for 75 minutes near the end of the training

thats pretty intense

but with hard work i think we could all pull this off

but we might have to make a few adjustments to ensure we don’t get have any injuries

knee injuries to be precise

 

despite what i said earlier

if we did undergo the marathon training i’d say that would count for the ‘fun’ we would have

my contacts are dry, and i have class tomorrow

time to dream some sweet dreams
