I'm back.

I just finished my undergrad degree in psychology and began grad degree in psychology. I took a break from blogging for about a year. I was running of and on here and there. I had developed a nasty habit of consuming too much alcohol to de-stress after work. Well, recently I felt a calling from God (he used my wife's voice) to find alternate methods of de-stressing. I began running about a mile a day 3-4 days a week. I feel good. My New Balance mid strike running shoes are amazing and the running app on my phone is very encouraging. Try it. Think far.

Been Away

I have been away for a while. Had to attend some weddings and receptions and take two psychology courses in less than two months! Today, however, I went back to the gym. I did not step into the gym for about a month now. I biked, did pull ups, dips, and hit the sauna. What I discovered is that sauna really helps you shed some pounds off! I realize this is old news but I hated the sauna until recently. I used my apartment sauna and liked the feeling. But be careful while using it, I start to feel sleepy due to the heat. And take water with you. Do not sleep and if you don't feel good, GET OUT of the sauna. 

The Benefits

Feeling good about yourself, looking good, melting stress away, and better health are all benefits of running. These are, by no means, the only benefits but part of the many good things running can help you with. It is the best way of losing body fat, by experience. It is the best way of losing inches of your waist, by experience. You can eat well but without exercise, emphasis on running, you won't get to you optimum health level. Go run for yourself.

Puma's

Does the battle sport a such contour?

Amazingly enough I have not run since Saturday. I ran about a mile and half on Saturday. I plan to get back to running, hopefully later on today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have been trying to break in the new Puma's I bought last week. They are comfortable for walking and running. The top material seems to be waterproof and the cushioning seems to work very well. I wore these most of past weekend and they still feel like new shoe's. They also seem to be good at trail running, which I would like when I do go trail running.

Trail running used to be very fun and I loved it but, ever since I moved out of my parent's house, I discontinued trail running. You certainly need proper shoes with a lot traction in order to do trail running. These Puma's look like they have a lot of traction and the right amount of cushioning. The waterproof upper material does seem to be made for trail running. I would advice anyone out there looking to purchase a nice pair of running shoe's, give Puma's a chance and you will not be disappointed.

New Shoe's

I went running with my new Puma running shoes. Wow, they were amazing. I ran 2 miles without feeling much pain. These shoe's have proper cushion support in all the right area's. What's even more cool is that they are SF Giants color. Gotta love them orange and black. I simply love these shoe's. They make running so much better.

Running and Stressing

Stress from work, family, or any other source can be, well, quite stressful! It is better to deal with stress at it's source rather than letting it build up. While running may not be the answer to all of life's stress, it can certainly make dealing with them better. You can function at peak physical fitness levels when dealing with stress. You can manage to feel good about yourself, even in the midst of all the stress. So run and keep running for a better health and well being. 

Procrastinated Workout

Procrastinate! Yes, I finally jumped on a stationary bike today. I finally worked out. I have been procrastinating all last week. I didn't want to head to the gym today but I did. It felt good to get a workout in. I have noticed that three workouts per week seem to benefit me quite well. I feel refreshed after a workout. Learning to stop procrastinating is difficult.
