April Update

So things are getting more interesting at P.O. in the city.... developed relationships with the trainers and with select members. There are these two guys David and Kramer that always train together, but there is something special about their training style; they always seem to have a different approach which I find refreshing. Coinsidently, both of them begin their work out at the exact time I come in which is 5pm and sometime I help them out and do the work out with them or spot them etc

They design their exercises using a bootcamp style approach making the most simple exercises such as a pushup into something totally difficult IE a pushup walking wheel barrell which is actually quite fun to do, despite the burning LA in ones arm while doing it and trying to make it to the wall before fatiquing out. If I am with them for the entiredy of their work out, its already 6pm. Then I usually talk to this kid chris then who I found out is a big triathlete like myself. I could tell even the moment I looked at his legs compared to the other members there. Triathletes def give off a certain look that no matter how hard anyone else tries, they will never get that look unless they are an actual triathlete.

I mean, even for me, my body before I began running track, I never had a flat defined stomach until the 2nd yr I was runnning. I didn't get totally leaned out until I began swimming and racing triathlons, it totally changes your body, its actually pretty amazing.

Sometimes I observe Rays Sports Camp class, a class I am yearning to teach but won't allow me to do so, because they don't have enough room to add another class in the budget.

Career wise, I also met a girl on the floor this week, she was a long distance runner, we made this connection immmeditlely, its funny how you can just feel this energy of who you connect with and the energy that isnt there for the people that you don't, or shall I call its 'chemestry' ha

So, by May, my goals are as follows:

-Early Am Montclair or Caldwell Bootcamp class:
Teaching/designing my own bootcamp class through the North NJ Adventure Bootcamp Program


-BRIX Bike-Run: With Scott >6am EUS Cant wait to teach this ongoing class every 6 weeks

-Training more clients independently that I meet at various places: concerts, clubs, anywhere, as long as they can pay me $50 min I'm good :)

-Teaching Spin before Plus one job; thinking since they cant add me for the time being as an offical spin instructor there, workin at the NY Sports Club right nxt door... gotta go there to find out if they are hiring new group ex instructors nxt week style.Gtting Handed Clients @ Plus One and meeting pp on my own like the blonde girl that I am most likely training next week. I feel like by the last week of April, I am going to have 2-3 clients that are mine to keep at Plus One, so I am xcited for that, as I get $10 as a PT at PO than I did at Rbk which is cool.

-Eventually, I am trying to get involved in a kids outdoor sports performance program as well.....

Between my independent clients, Bootcamp pay, Brix pay, Spin Pay, Swim pay, + Plus one pay, I should FINALLY have the money to sign up for the remaining 2-3 half IRONman races I want to do hopefully, before they close out on me....

Then pay back the money I owe to get my racing bike after I have been waiting over 6 yrs for it. UH I can't wait till the moment I finally get it. This utter happiness comes over me when I close my eyes and imagine that I finally have one so I can stop envying these 1st yr triathletes with 1 which actually aggervates the shit outta me knowing that I was promised I would get a racing bike for college graduation, after how hard I worked.....

I finally hooked back up w Barbara again, the moment I met her, I knew she was like my 2nd mother or an older version of myself and I think she sees that in a vise versa sorta way in myself which is why we have this connection. I am whipping her upper body back into shape. The funny thing is that, everything I tell Barb she does, such as venturing to the brx trail and exploring it lol which I found quite funny, although highbridge park is a cool discovery that not many people actually know about who even live in the city.

I can't belive looking back all the places I ran to while I was still at school at MC, bc highbridge park was far as hell lol but I just needed to get out of running in Van Cortdlan park which is what most of the boring lazy ass BX bitches did.... or I just would run by their walking asses while they would chant 'bx bitches' give me a break. The memories actually make me laugh now, even though then I had to stand alone and do what I felt was right and not to become another follower, but a leader. Which ultimately, because I yearned to become my own leader, another reason why Eryka became jealous and began stalking me because she always had this fascination with my fast paced lifestyle and non-stop plans lol...

Another side note, as I was leavin the underground I bumped into Josh ala AK's trainer! lol what are the chances, maybe we can team train her in the near future, but I am keepin that down the low, cause no one needs to kno :D But it is funny that we always have the triathlons in common which is def a big passion and part of both our lives, so I am sure we will have plenty to chat about nxt week. If he does let me teamtrain her, ah my life will change!

April is really flying by, Partied too hard for my bday... not in the sense that I was drunk all over the place, because thats NEVER me, but because I spent so much time outside being overactive I guess I will call it.... But its all good, I had a suffering weekend this past weekend in bed w that sinus infection. It was so bad I couldnt run for 5 days :/

But whateves, cause I'm back at it bitches and I WILL qualify for Clearwater, whatever it takes. I am also planning for a PR despite the shitty rainy weather for Sats Half which I'm super pumped for... Bruce Springstein better show afterwords for a performance like Bob Booth has hinted to me 3 months ago or so... But any performer is cool for a race regardless

This week because I was sick and because of that fact that I am trying really hard now not to waste money that I don't have has been dull. But I need those dull weeks once in a while where I have NOTHING planned. I mean, all in all, my race is the main highlight of the week of course and I was happy for wens and thurs beautiful 70' weather.

Next week I found out about the 'Go mag' awards at M2 lounge ALA the female ver of NEXT mag; which is actually quite compared to Next mag a BORING ass mag. (Maybe I am a gay man trapped inside a womens body afterall -Madonna) haha True Story. So I am going bc I found out 1 of my heros Michelle Rodridquez is DJING! I couldnt believe it when I read it, I thought it was a joke, I guess she does that on the side for special events, everyone is thinking that she is finally going to come out for the theme of the event. haha good timing there I guess.... I mean sometimes actions speak louder than words so I am not sure why so many feel why shes still 'in the closest' but whatever I am xcited w my usual stradegy, I plan to meet her and get a photo w her ha! SO thats tues nite.

Wens night Kelis is performing at Santos Party house, that event starts right at 8pm, but I am not too worried because since its at a club, I doubt people are gonna get that aggressive, esp for her to wait outside for a spot. Im xcited bc I still havent been over to Santos yet...

Then Pam asked me to hang w her and her girls and of course I will happily Oblidge. :D So Im xcited for that, hopefully the plans wont be dropped... then to end nxt weekend, I am gonna Werk the BX biathlon, and last yr I skipped it because it was shitty weather, and like a dumbass decided to go out the night before to a peter event. Like what was I thinking?! esp for peter.... Doing it this yr no matter what the weather esp w the highway being closed down for the bike SWeeetttt... and NOT going out night before, this yr I am taking my racing more serious than I ever had before. Mostly because every single race has been charged to my card and Im not wasting my time and energy not performing to my best.

Welp thats all for now, Downloaded some sick new music my Annie, Linda Sunblad, and Gabriella Climi and lovin it
