New Workout - Tabata Training

Since my Fatroll days, I’ve always liked trying new methods of training/weight loss. I’ve been slacking on the marathon training lately - because it’s god awful hot - but mostly because it can be boring. Repetition can kill any workout routine. 

So, I found this intense 4-minute interval training method called Tabata. It’s sort of a short version of P90x or Insanity. All of them incorporate intense intervals which help spike metabolism and the aerobic system. 

Any good runner knows that you have to incorporate these types of exercises in order to build muscle strength.

If I May

Rant for a moment on the ridiculous costs of moving - especially to New York.

Granted I’m moving to Troy in upstate NY where the general living costs are relatively affordable, it is the cross country haul - what I’ve been describing Mexico to Canada - that is giving me hives, literally.

From logistics to costs (i.e. furniture, clothes, apartment, gas, plane tickets etc) to vehicle registrations, pet registrations to all things few and far between to not having a steady income until my fellowship money is released … I will be so poor.

There, I’ve admitted it.

So, I ask myself. Are you making the right decision? To be almost 30y/o and live like a pauper?

An affirmative, yes.

Money doesn’t buy happiness and no story is worth a damn without a little struggle.
