core | run

My second run! OMG.

Core felt okay but sometimes I wonder how the hell (and how long) I'm going to be able to keep this up…?

Shelley and I went down to Seward Park again for our run and this time I went in the opposite direction as Monday. I know, TOTALLY different. I barely recognized the path and almost got lost. One word: GPS

Running still feels like crap meaning extremely unnatural but hey, it's just day two. It's is however not beneath me to point out that I went TEN SECONDS faster than Monday. And that's without looking at my watch once. Dude, I'm racing even when I don't mean to be racing. Two words: on fire

I like 'em big

So today I splurged and bought one. The Sturhrling Metropol.

This bad boy is two solid inches long!

What is it about watches (or shoes or whatever accessory you want to obsess about) that grabs you and says, "Buy me!" No idea. But I love this shit and if I didn't think it was such a phenomenal waster of money I'd have 10 different watches; one for each day of the week, some for sporty activities and some just to get all ridiculous like this one here.

This is the "Diesel OVERSIZE BadAss WHITE GHOST XXL" and I love it. I mean c'mon, who wouldn't want something like that on their wrist? Exactly. If that's not oversized I'm a monkey's uncle.

Not only the Metropol cool, it's water proof to 50 m.so I won't have to take it off all the time. And it's got a really nifty clasp/buckle thingy.

As an added bonus I'll have wicked buff arms and shoulders if I switch wrists often enough. Good looking and tones you up; that's a win/win in my book.

commute | walk

I was curious how sore I would be today from the jog yesterday and the answer is not much. Nice. And so much for all the hype.

I have found that walking is the best thing right after a run and maybe even the day after if you want to rest more.

core | commute | run

Oh my… it's Martin's first run of the season. Time to hype the effort and the difficulty of the transition and make it sound like this is a big deal. It is not. I love to exaggerate for effect. Pretty much anyone can do this.

But I did manage to get to the gym and I did ride my bike to work.
