Demon Fuel

Posted on | November 5, 2008 |

Last night after work I went out and purchased something I have nicknamed ‘Demon Fuel’ as well as some new shoes for training. I ended up with a nice pair of Nikes (I know, I know, Nike-e’s … lol) that were surprisingly affordable. My trainer had suggested the Under Armor brand but those were a little too pricey for me to just be training in them and I was assured that those were no better than the ones I bought. Now this ‘Demon Fuel’ is a whole other beast and I have mixed emotions about it. What I got was Fast Twitch and what it did for my running time last night was extraordinary. I knocked more than 2 minutes off my previous best time for a 5k and felt very strong before, during, and after the run. It also kept me up for the next few hours and had me feeling like I could have run another one, so I’m not entirely sure this is a good thing. Or at least maybe taking it at 6:30pm before a 7pm run might not be a good idea?!

Either way, this stuff was one of those “you didn’t hear it from me” conversations I had with my trainer after I told him I was ready to take things to the next level and hit the weights hard again. Even with my normal freak-like energy levels I am fatiguing out too early to make the impressive gains I want to see, so this is supposed to give me that extra push during the intensive workouts we have returned to. I was really hoping to discuss this stuff with a friend before doing this, but I have probably made an ass out of myself and looked a little pathetic lately, so that didn’t happen. I have read about and researched this ‘Demon Fuel’ on the internet and I trust my trainer so we’ll just have to see how this works out.

Since I was up and watching the election results and subsequent speeches last night I went ahead and posted some items on my tech blog. I am submitting my posts to a few other tech sites and I hope to get some feedback from peers on those. If nothing else I am creating an online repository for my own practices and procedures in terms of large volume meeting capture projects. Yea, try saying that last sentence five times fast … damn Demon Fuel … lol

Alright kids, time for me to get back to it. Have a good day.
