Fantastic run... not so great study session.

First the bad news:

I only studied 2hours today for my Economics exam and didn't even open my Commercial law or Business management textbooks. Well as a promise to myself, tomorrow I will study at least 3 hours for each module.

***

Now the good news:

Today I had probably one of the best runs ever.

I started out slow wanting to turn around more with each stride I took, but with each stride I took, I also had more motivation to go on further. Later on I was thinking just until the end of the road then I will stop, start walking, turn around and head back home, but with each end of the road I got more energy to go on further.

The mind vs body battle

With each step further, I guess my mind finally won the battle over my tired body and my breathing went from a lot of huffing and puffing to a slow steady pace. Soon I was running through every road in my neighbourhood. Then I almost got lost and had no idea which road to take back home!

Unfortunately then I remembered what every running article I ever read said

'Only increase your distance by 10%'

So I started running back home, but I can't wait for tomorrow even though I know there will be some struggles, I am ready to take on the challenge of the road again.

Exciting times ahead.

So I did manage to run my 5km and have a new best time I am hoping to beat again soon. Its so awesome how running can change your mood... when I got home, I felt tired and not in the mood to study at all for my upcoming exams, and I forced myself to go and run today and I am very happy I did! I ran my 5km and after that I had a new burst of energy and started studying.

I do have a bit of stress though, a year ago I found a lump on my collarbone and went to the doctor, he told me its a spider bite and I have nothing to be worried about and he prescribed some medication. Well the lump is still there so I finally found the courage to make another appointment with another doctor today. I can't stop thinking that it might be the worst case scenario even though I have no other symptoms except the stupid lump.

Sometimes it can suck to be single...

Tonight I have been one of those depressing days where I am seriously considering getting a girlfriend...

So far I have managed to stay single and I really do enjoy being single, I just can't imagine me being in a serious relationship, I really do love my freedom too much.

My reason for staying single:

I can go out whenever I want! If I wan't to go out with some friends, I can talk to any girls I want and have fun without worrying about getting into trouble. I can stay out as long as I want and always do what I WANT TO DO. I just noticed this yesterday again, me and some of my mates were going out to play some golf and one of my friend's couldn't make it cos his girlfriend didn't want him going out.

We had a great time at the golf course and decided on a braai(bbq) afterwards, but one of my friends had to go as his girlfriend got angry. At the end of the night I just had one friend left and he is single.

My last reason I do like flirting and having fun with girls everytime we go out and then again that wouldn't be possible.

In other news, I feel a bit dissapointed in myself today as I only went to the gym today and did not even go cycling or running after work and also surfed the internet and watched tv instead of studying.

Hope I feel better tomorrow and am going to run 5km tomorrow and beat my previous best time!

Exercise and then study time

Had a killer session at the gym today and now time for a quick 5km run, then forcing myself to study for economics exam.

I emphasize enough how much running before the time helps me to concentrate and get me in the study "zone".

Hoping to study at least 2 hours for my economics and then another 1 or maybe 2 hours of business management.
