FINALLY ACCEPTED INTO THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES

Right now I am on cloud 9. My interview with the military on friday went really well.

One of my friends told me to dress really nicely, so I went out to buy a nice shirt/pants and shoes as well as a nice tie. Looked really sharp for the interview. Arrived at the recruiting center 15minutes early and waited.

When I got called in I was so nervous. There is nothing that I have ever wanted more in life than to be a CF member. On top of the good news, I was recommended for the Infantry which is exactly what I wanted.

No matter what you want in life, if you put your mind to it you will get it.

FELLING GREAT!

Well today is another great day in Montreal with the weather at 11celcuis. I took advantage of the weather this morning to go for a run which is such a rewarding experience when it is complete.

For me, when I accomplish something that was difficult and half way through I felt like stopping just makes me feel so good inside. There is nothing better than the feeling of knowing you did something you put your mind to.

So, a little later on after my run was finished I decided to map out my run on Google Map. Originally my estimation was that I ran 8km, but found out that it was actually 9km and all completed in 49minutes.

Now that I have been able to run 9km in 49minutes, it is my goal to now do that in 40minutes by shaving off 1min of running time per km. This would allow me to run 2.46km in 10.82min which is one of the requirements for the Canadian Armed Forces. So, with luck and much perseverance this goal will be met.

In closing, if you ever have a goal in life you want to reach for, make some small steps first to get there and then set your bar higher than what you originally desired and it will all come to you. Trust me, you will feel amazing about yourself and the accomplishments in your life.

Relaxing Afternoon

So, today is my day off work and time for me to relax. Thought that I would just take a rest from training to give my body time to repair.

Time for me to get some laundry done and other things around my place. Oh yeah, dishes too! Really wish they would just do themselves or someone could come wash them for me. There is nothing more in this world I hate than doing dishes, but it is something that needs to be done so I can eat good food!

Right now I am enjoying a great tasting German beer called Konig Pilsner. It is smooth tasting and easy to drink. European beer is the best. Enough with this local stuff, import is where it is at!

Anyways, I am off to finish my daily chores. Enjoy the rest of your day and relax a little :)

Hey guys! So today the call came in, the one that I was waiting for which seemed to be taking for ever. This call I am talking about was from the military requesting me to come in for an interview. I am excited and nervous at the same time.

BACK INTO FULL SWING!!!

Well guys, I am officially back at the gym full time training hard and working towards my objectives.

The break that I took which was a minor one really gave me some perspective on things in my life along with my goals that are leading me in the direction that I have desired for a long time.

Anyways, just had a thought in my head and felt the need to write it out.

Have a good night everyone.

Well the weekend is over and back to work I go!

This past weekend was spent back home visiting my little sister, meeting her bf and hanging out with a buddy that I have not seen in ages! Have to say it was amazing to spend time back home with everyone, especially my little sister. On one of the days I was visiting I went to meet the mother of my sister's bf and it was a great afternoon. Had a really nice brunch and chatted alot getting to know people. All went by very fast during the weekend and I really wish that there would have been more time to spend with everyone, but the time that was had felt very enjoyable for me.

Now that I have everything updated as of tonight, I am going to end it here and promise to write another entry tomorrow night before going to bed.
