I wsa going to walk home with him, but decided to stay and help my mum shopped, in the supermarket and all that. Long time since ive done this. Pushing the trolley, picking the food, brought back memeries from when iw as a young kid.

Play Time is Over April 9th

As soon as 10 o’clock comes around, I woken up by my cd player. And one of my favourite songs, Barry White “Just the way you are”. Every week day a different song wakes me up, different love song might I say. The house is empty everyone’s at work, it’s just me, and my cat who I love. It’s on the highest volume, and it just gets inside of you.

So this is how I start my day, I only started it, a week ago. Because when you got the whole day week to yourself, no job, no college, you have to be creative enjoy it. The house is mine until 5, my rules.

10.00pm am already half awake, but then Barry White begins to speak, beautiful music in the background. I just listen lying back in my bed, because he is right about love.

"I never take anything for Granted

Only a fool maybe takes things for Granted

Just because its here today, it

It can be gone tomorrow

And that’s one thing you will never have to worry about me

If I will ever change towards you because Baby I love you

Girl I love you “just the way you are"

And if I had a girl, that song would wake us up every morning, and I would whisper her those words in ear.

It’s just how I love; it’s just how I love woman. I could never hurt pretty woman.

Today is Active Recovery

Recovery is one of the most important parts of a training regime; it’s when the body does its magic. It’s important what you do after training. As soon as you put down the weight, as soon as you step off the track, remember this. Make sure you eat good food, and relax.

What do I do on my recovery days?

Well if you have been following, my life. You will understand that I have no track to track on. When most athletes do a thing called tempo, on recovery days. On recovery days, low intensity exercises are the way to go.

What recovery exercisers I do?

Dancing
Hovering up
Walking/jogging
Get a warm shower always; get the blood flowing into muscles.

That’s what I do, and today I will hover up, with the music blasting around the house, Barry White. Then I will go a jog, but I stop whenever I want, theres no stress, take my time. You see girls might stop me, for a kiss, a hug, a picture, grown woman aswell. And it’s the least I can do, am there for them.

Am shy but what can I do.

Thank you
And tomorrow am going to be training.
I won’t post recovery days all the time.

bye

Mr. Cool, I’m glad to see you are enjoying your training and getting the proper recovery. And by all means, stopping and taking time out for the women and girls that interrupt your jogging is admirable. I know many athletes in training would get very pissed if some woman stopped them wanting to get a photo or just wanted to talk for a while. You probably made their day. Keep the stress levels low.

“I’m been living in fast forward…hillbilly rock star out of control…living in fast forward…now I need to rewind real slow…”

******HOW I WAS CRUSHED

Workout

4sets of Dumbbell curl 20rep 1min recovery between sets.
6sets of 60 push ups 1min recovery.

Another week or two and I will be in the Gym.

Military Press
Leg Press
Row
Lunges
Squats

There all the exercisers I will do, I will do Pause squats.

This could get long.

So if everything goes to plan, I should be in the gym by then. But am missing the track my track, there was nothing more I loved than training, out on the track. As I look back now, I feel that I wasted too much time, and didn’t take advantage, only near the end, when I use to go out of my own way to train, alone. Everyone knows me, they would see me walking down, and they would know where am going.

I loved just being there, during the summer holidays, my top off. Sometimes kids would watch early in the morning, sometimes woman from the Gym, would sit out on the seating. I trained myself for 6weeks on my own early mornings, you see because my coaches training, I didn’t think was what I wanted focusing on 100m/200m and my assault on 10seconds. It was more endurance I trained with 800m guys 400m/800m training, I use to have battles with one of my training partners an 800m guy 1.55sec senior, 300’s 200’s, we hurt each other bad. I think 800m runners are the toughest on the track, and it made me tough. Am a new breed of sprinter, I would brag! Thinking back now, I should of run 51sec, but that’s for another story.

I didn’t even pay to use the track or sauna, the woman on the reception just let me walk by, I just smile at them. On early mornings when the boxers where out my old gym, they would move off the track, I use to go to the same gym, say hello to people.

I ran one 100m at the beginning of the season 11.6 and that’s it all season pathetic. But I knew I was doing that off no speed work, explosiveness etc. Am an enthusiastic person, and I like learning stuff, I learnt a lot about training last year. After ran 11.6, people where saying in my training group well done, lets see if you can get that down to 11.4. (in one in out there other)

I told everyone that I will run sub-11; I was so confident, don’t need blocks. And then project sub-11, I called it. I went the gym twice a week, trained on the track three times week, pure explosiveness, for 6 weeks solid, nothing else day and night I thought about running sub-11. Didn’t even go out, drinking partying nothing, I had it all planned and it would come to ahead at a BMC meeting. I was immense, in immense physical shape.

That week leading up to it, I knew I was fast, sunny days top off, my hair was crazy and curly, “I made this look Good”. Because in the corner of my eye, I could see people watching me, I trained on the far side of the track. Either they where looking at me because they liked me, or because I was fast. I knew I was gonna break 11, smash it; ive got no respect for it. My friend timed me, and I was at 10.7 easy.

But the day of the competition, my mate phoned me, to tell me he had been in a car crash. We occasionally went to meetings together; he is my training partner 800m guy.

So I could not go, this crushed me “part 1”. Everything was done for nothing. I gave up training right there, just went out drinking, didn’t do anything. For two months, didn’t even go to the track to see my coach. Did’nt go to uni, and I was out every week, coming home drunk, and I would occasionally argue with people in the house. All I cared about was woman, and drinking.(i decided to take a gap year)

Then I came back in October 20th a month later than my group expected. Training was going well, enjoying myself. Then BOOM, I get told the news, one training session that we cannot train there no longer, and I have had e-mails since off my coach, but I cannot be assed replying.


I could have given up there but am not, am angry now. This isn’t hobby anymore hence play time is over, it’s personal, am deeply offended. It’s going to be hard training now, but I have to chips on my shoulders on the left fear, and on the right anger, I am the most pissed off athlete in the UK.

I could easily go back to boxing but am pretty and am not finished with this track stuff. I have got afew issues I need to sort out.

So that’s it, that’s how I came to this now. Maybe you know abit more about me now, on the dole, no job, on my gap year, but I cannot be assed with Uni all I care about is woman and training. (My parents know this)

its personal now. April 9th

Well I fucked up today.

Today’s active recovery, but I messed up.

Today I was planned to have a meeting with the dole, at 10o clock. This was the final process, which I must go through to get my claim. I filled in all the forms last night, and had all my identy passport ready.

I was ready, ready to speak!

I was going to get my hair cut in the morning, because its not growing, because am distressed, distressed with life, its not getting any curlier, so ---- it.

Also last night, I found out some news, news concerning me, yeah that’s right. Let’s just say training has still been going, and I didn’t know anything about it, it was by chance I spoke to this girl, there training somewhere else (why wasn’t I informed) they have my number and e-mail, but guess what ---- them.

Play Times Over, and whoever disagrees with me, is in trouble!

So yeah I set my alarm for 8, although it only takes me 8mins to get ready, I don’t even look in the mirror. 4min shower, and 6min doing the rest.

My alarm went off, the clock, not the CD player that was set for 10, NWA express you. Well I fell back asleep, but I woke up dead on 10 o’clock.

All I could hear was that base the beat, of the start of NWA express yourself. I just shot out of bed, and got my clothes

Passport

Birth Certificate

Bank Card

Forms

I needed all of these, to take to the interview. The night before I didn’t get them together because, I thought I would be up at 8. So I was shouting at my cat, "where’s is my passport” he didn’t know, well he just looked.

Music was blasting, Dr Dre hitting those lines hard.

Jeans, T-shirt, Jacket, trainers. The speed was incredible, I was panicking, and thank god as I fell down the stairs, my mum had laided out my forms ID on the table. I just grab it and ran out the house.

I don’t care, I broke the 4min mile, in jeans, and I made it look good. It’s about a mile run to the town centre. I could still hear the beat of NWA express in my head. Sprinting through the crowd of people, like crimanal on the run.

10.10pm

I arrive up in the jobcentre; i have to ask for Joyce. Some receptionist tells me to get the lift up to the 1st floor and she will be there.

In the lift, am inside there with other Dole heads. When i was in year 7 high schools, i use to think, what I would be doing when am 19. I use to think, i would be Olympic champion. I wish i could go back in time, and warn me, what’s about happen.

I see this woman Joyce, Name on here disks. I introduce myself, and smile at here. (What more does a woman want)

She says that am late, and i have to organize another interview and claim again. This crushed me again, i laughed, because that’s how bad i am now. Some guy helped me get another interview, but am back at square one.

That Joyce was disrespectfull, and i did’nt like the tone of her voice. I don’t think she liked me, beats me, well i think she did, she was just in denile. (shes proberly sitting at her desk thinking about me now)


Am now waiting for the call, so I can give them my bank details.


My mum phoned and i lied i siad, they have lost my information on computer so i have to, give them it again.
