Motivate(d)!


Laziness, improper diet, abandoned training plan and late night invasion of comic reading. Ah what an irony, i know I've written of how parkour training is suppose to build self control, well..hehehe we all have those lazy rather unsinspired days right? And before we know it, it turns to a full week of uninspiredness, then soon 2 weeks of uninspiredness, for some it turns to months and then behold the transformation into TV worshiping, potato eating, fat gaining couch potato.(fear all fear all)

It wasn't until a divine intervention in the form of a race brosure sponsored by one of the biggest cigarette company knock my senses(irony), I've got to go back to training, afterall this is the main reason why I moved here! So i made the vow, a promise to self, with my heart pounding in motivation.
"TONIGHT ILL RUN FOR 2.5km!"

Few working hours later...

blaaaaaaaaaaahhhh work sucks. So tired, wanna sleep already...(drops down to bed and started reading another comic)

NOOOOOO!! what am I doing? wers the heart pounding resolution to change? guess me cant always depends on those short moments of resolutions. With all this reason to "just sleep" I MUST motivate my self, if i can't start the change now? how much more tomorow or the day after that? Slip into my running pants, ugly shirt with busted shoes and started running. Destination. . .carrefour(to get some bed-time-snack, Damn im just so good in motivating my self :P)

They must think that guy is crazy, afterall its 7.30pm rush hour, the hundred car exhaust resounding to the same chorus of bad CO2 and heres a guy in the "greenlane"(thats the grassy part dividing the lanes on the road where they plant the trees)running under trees thats no longer producing O2 in this time of the day.

It must have the equivalent of smoking a full pack cigarette during that run cause' my head was spinning mad by the time I made it to carrefour, drousing my way to the snack bar to grab some honey coated roasted peanuts. While on my way to the cash register I saw this funny looking fat guy eating junk food looking at some health therapeutic slippers advertisment, being the "guy who just finished exercising" I was about to critic the guy in my head only to realize that being fat and eating junk food while looking at a poster of some magical slipper is probably healthier than running in the middle of Jakarta's rush hour. . .

But oh well, at least me was able to free my self from the locks of laziness. YAY!

Words of the wise:
It has to start somewhere,
It has to start sometime.
What better place than here,
What better time than now.

-Zack de la Rocha
Remember those words, might just give you the extra motivation to get someting done.

P.S. feel down on my bed asleep without showering. . .felt dirty filty and even lazier upon waking up.
This was certainly a bad idea. . .
