KATE

Apprently…

I have a tumblr. I totally forgot about this thing, maybe I’ll use it out of sheer boredom on my day off.

After I drink this beer and eat cheeseburgers.

i want to quit my job so i can play the piano, do jiu jitsu, and read all the time.

time to get things rolling

I think I want to compete in December.  This means a few things:

A huge diet change, complete with lots of protein and shakes.

Training at least six days a week!  If I can, training twice a day.

Running at least three times a week, I’d like to be able to run 10 miles without stopping and/or dying.

Gaining at least 5-10lbs of muscle, and having the strength to maneuver a much larger person around somewhat easily.

TECHNIQUE TECHNIQUE TECHNIQUE.  I CANNOT be sloppy!

I’ve never competed in something where it’s just me.  This is going to be stressful.

i really need to change my habits.

Sometimes I feel like the only certainty in uncertainty is the huge risk of fucking everything up.  Why does it have to be such a probable outcome?  Even if it’s a 51% chance, that’s still 1% more than I can handle for my own peace of mind.

I am pretty annoyed with myself that I left my camera in Philly.  By pretty I mean very.

Speaking of trips I find it very depressing that I haven’t been to the beach this year.  That may be the one huge flaw about DC, the general lack of clean water for swimming.  I am fairly convinced that the Potomac is full of hepatitis and dead people.  I am not exaggerating, they fish bodies out of that river quite regularly, and all you need to do is take a quick look at Southeast for the hepatitis to make since. Regardless, I kind of want to visit my mother and spend some time with her and do nothing but sit on the beach for a few days with some books.  Nothing really sounds better right now.

I wish I had some photos to post… hmph.

I’m really happy with how training is going, i feel more confident every day and i get the verbal reassurance from some of the best in the sport that i am looking great and working hard.  i don’t think anything has made me so happy in a very long time.

yesterday i had one of the best days i’ve had in a long time.  you know, one of those days that was so much fun naturally and easily that you don’t think you’ll have one again.
