Learned a hard lesson today – just because coffee puts you on a caffeine kick, don’t go running right after downing an extra strong cup of it!!! I did the mistake of doing this – chugging a cup of strong espresso -- and then going out for a long run. Big mistake. I suppose I should be a bit embarrassed about what I’m about to admit to, so be it, but Snickers got a HUGE laugh out of it.
So there I was, running around the Dankook lake when all of a sudden my caffeine kick turned into tummy cramps. My espresso was now kicking me… and it was kicking EVERY thing I ate today out, literally. I thought I could just run off the tummy cramps, they weren’t so bad, but then I realized there were other things going on that I just couldn’t hold off till I returned to Ggum Guum. Ya,… perhaps you know what I’m talking about.
Coffee works like a laxative to my body when it’s a bit strong. Well, today’s cup was rather too strong and so ya… I had to search out a bathroom asap or else… Thankfully there’s a bathroom on the path leading up to the lake so I took a detour and rushed over to it, no problem. Then there was the realization that there was no toilet paper, big problem. I hadn’t layered up with my clothing on account of the weather so I was basically only wearing my Adidas windbreaker tracksuit and Adidas runners.
My choices for toilet paper…
a. my Adidas socks – nope, can’t treat Adidas like that!!!
b. my sports bra – ya, like I’m going to run commando!
c. my CK underwear – at $50 a pair, ya right!
My limited choices were a no-go in my mind so I went in search of some “natural” toilet paper – leaves. I ended up finding some kid’s notebook right outside the bathroom. And now I have three paper cuts on my Polish bum… dang. I don’t think Snickers will ever forget this one… double dang!!!
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
