Weekend

The weekend has officially begun. I worked today till 4 pm in order to get home earlier but also to beat the traffic. Lately the traffic has become unbearable and a trip that would take me 30 minutes is taking with the traffic 2 hours at time. It is the worst between 4:30 to 6:00 pm, that's why I am very good off leaving any time before. When I got home I was thinking maybe to study for a bit before going with my sister to the movies. Next week is my test, and this time there is no way I will void it. This time its for real. And I am finally ready to overcome my fears and to master that test. However, instead, of studying (which lately has just become so difficult) I decided to go for what I thought would be a quick run. According to my training schedule for the 10 mile, which I got off the Internet, I am supposed to run today 3 miles. There is a lake near my house whose circumference is about 1.96 miles, usually I run twice. Since all day it was rainy I decided to go right away after work while it had stopped raining. So that is what I did, although it was a bit difficult and the second lap I was not able to run but instead walked. I decided that I need to get a book or some other educational materials about the diet one should eat while training for such a huge event. I believe that my diet needs some improvement. Another factor I blame for my lethargy is the fact that I did not get enough sleep last night. Anyways, I did the best that I could, tomorrow is a rest day and than Sunday I am supposed to be putting in 5 miles. It seems to much considering that I just started officially training this week. Shouldn't I be taking it easy? I should note this training schedule I got off the Internet is for beginners. Yeiks. I came home only to quickly take a shower and get ready for a movies night with my sister, Aida. Aida just came home from Bosnia after spending over a month there. I have been busy and have not had that much time to spend with her. Tonight is the night. We are going to watch the thriller that is coming out today, I believe its called "A Perfect Gataway." Afterwards we might hit Uptown. Will see how it goes. Tomorrow however, definitely is a study day, and so is Sunday...
