Boston

I know this blog is supposed to be about fashion and fitness but at the same time I am human and have many other thoughts that consume me on a daily basis. The hurt the happiness, the hope and the longing. My development and growth as a person.
This may not be familiar to many, but Boston is a very special place to me. The hurt from you I never express, but I think about you daily. It is sadness suppressed I never own up to. Times I feel I hide from the denial and the smile on my face I've never faced, this recovery is in a slow pace. I often wonder what could've been and did you feel the same? I gave it my all, had no boundaries and jumped head first. I was blind and oblivious.
Boston I was so touched by you, so distinguished, charming, thoughtful and proper. Our similar likes and dislikes. I was deceived by what you were feeling inside. You didn't tell me the truth, you lied and let me think you wanted to take a chance.
Only time will heal my experience, but my love for Boston will never leave. I know one day we will meet again. But right now the questions in my mind still linger - could Boston and New York City ever come together?

Running

Things have finally come to fruition and everything is working out in my favor, so I am in a better mood. I definitely had a rough couple of weeks and with the power of positive thinking and visualizations, the knot I felt in my chest has been diminished. The darkness I felt during these few weeks is something I do not want to occur again.

Due to my computer issues and such I haven't blogged but now its fixed. Right after work today the weather was nice enough for a run in the park. And amazingly after that huge snowstorm we had, the weather has warmed up a bit. I went to Astoria Park and jogged for about an hour. Running is not my first love, weight training is and I am no expert at this. I run about 2 or 3 miles at a time. This is just to shed a few pounds for my six pack to show a little better and get leaner. I use it in conjunction with my weight training for better results.

Here are some tips from runnersrescue.com:

Introduction
The most important point to remember for beginners is to start slowly. If you start an intense running regime without a gradual build up, your body will be rebel and you are more likely to suffer from a running injury. Do not skip any of the sections of the running program, sometimes beginners become impatient and try to speed up the process of adjusting the body to running. However, if you find the routine too hard then you can slow down each section and even repeat the section until you feel you are ready.

Preparation
Make sure you have correct running shoes and also a decent running watch. Measuring time/ distance is essential to monitor your progress. It is imperative that you stretch your muscles and do a warm up jog or walk. Many beginners forget to stretch before and after to prevent injury. Drink plenty of water before and after you run, it may also help to have a carbohydrate drink while you run to give you more energy.
