Let's try again...
-
After the self pity came karate. Pretty good tonight and got a bit of a sweat on. Definitely need to go running tomorrow though as I need to work my way down toward 22 minutes for the 5km and keep burning those kJ!<br />
<br />
Have figured out that 1 big treat meal a week is fucking with my digestive system, hence my recent flare up of the hindquarters. Think for now I'll have to moderate all intakes and smooth that shit out. Literally.<br />
<br /> -
Goju - I like their philosophy and the school is very kid-friendly. I wouldn't mind trying competition but I'm still trying to get used to the balance of offense and defense. In a real fight I could use my size to overwhelm an opponent but in competition karate clean blows are what count. Losing weight has really helped my overall coordination but reading an opponent is what I need.<br />
<br />
Run this morning: 5km in 24:43 - new PB by 25s for that distance and the first time I have cracked 25. Like it. <br />
<br />
Need to work on maintaining form as my left foot started to hurt in the last km and the middle three km could be improved. I'm also going to try running the course backwards occasionally to see if that makes a difference - total elevation change is about +15m overall<br /> -

<br />
Absolutely shagged after that and the run this morning... hot day, so sweatin like a mofo<br /> -
Stuffed my right shoulder some how. Maybe was all the work t'other night. My right glute is also feeling strained which is bad news as weigh-in is tomorrow and I'm 2 kg away from last week... Bummed. Hopefully the but comes right so I can go for a run in the morning, but the shoulder will need rest...
-
Shoulder still busted so limited weight exercises available - not general soreness, just a particular range of motion:<br />
<br />
Chins x 9<br />
Bicep db curls left x 13 right x 14 @ 14.25kg<br />
Arnies x 15 @ 14.25kg - surprising given the shoulder<br />
Deadlifts x 20 @ 50kg<br />
Shrugs x 20 @ 50kg<br />
Pull ups x 5<br />
Hanging knee raise supine x 10, prone x 6 (lost grip)<br />
Hammer curl db x 10<br />
Chins x 6<br />
Bicep db curls left x 8, right x 12<br />
Armies x 15<br />
Deadlifts x 20<br />
Shrugs x 20<br />
Pull ups x 6<br />
Hanging knee raise supine x 10, prone x 10<br />
Military press x 5 @ 50 kg to finish - testing out the shoulder which did OK.<br />
<br />
Seems to be trying to activate the front of the shoulder is the issue when its at an angle eg pushup. Most other motion is fine.<br />
<br />
Weigh in tomorrow... -
Slept in a bit this morning so unable to get in a run in before Mrs TA had to get Little TA #2 to dance class. Probably needed the rest more and the run is generally only worth a few hundred grams in sweat.<br />

<br />
Today: 94.0kg, Chest 107cm, Waist 98cm, Hips 103cm.<br />
<br />
Result is hardly surprising given the disruption with injury and illness this week. <br />
<br />
Not too disappointed either I must say - the illness in particular was a reminder that, in this current pursuit, having massive carb meals just isn't on any more. If I'm going to gorge myself then it still has to be the right foods to keep everything in order digestively.<br /> -
ha, I weighed in this morning at 94.0kg as well, after a week of hardly any exercise, a Christmas function, been a bit unsettled sleepwise too, but not overly worried either, have my run this afternoon, I have weighed before and after a run and have lost >1kg, playing golf at Waitangi tomorrow as well which will probably knock my circuit on the head.

<br />
First thing in the morning? Typically my Saturday run is straight after I take my morning piss. Don't even have a drink, just get out after it straight away. -
I weighed myself right before I went for a run, and then about half an hour after I got back...happened more than one time too.<br />
<br />
I run later in the afternoon, I cant run until I have been for my daily emission, and it doesnt come until it is ready, which is not early enough for me to run. -
94.6kg before run today, after run and taking on 750ml of fluid, 94.0kg.
-
I don't hydrate during the run, I have the bottle in the car, also hate carrying a water bottle!
-
Went for a trot this evening - wasn't really feeling it so it was 3km in 15:53. Decided to do a bit of strength work when I got home:<br />
<br />
Chins x 5<br />
Bench dips x 10<br />
Military press x 5 @ 50kg<br />
Hammer curls x 10 @ 14.25kg<br />
Pull ups x 5<br />
Bent row x 10 @ 50kg<br />
Hanging knee raise supine x 10, prone x 10<br />
Deadlifts x 10 @ 50kg<br />
Arnies x 15 @ 14.25kg<br />
<br />
That'll make up for no run this morning -
Thinking back, i was actually feeling toxic (perhaps guilty) that I didn't do any exercise yesterday, and in a further stroke of hindsight it appears I did the right thing; tops of 35+ predicted here today and already the sun has a real sting in it. Might have to get some Xmas shopping done early then head to the beach or the mountains. It will either storm this arv or be to bloody hot to go for a ride or a run.<br />
<br />
And backing off the treats is already paying dividends - 94.9 kg today despite hitting the Tim Tams yesterday <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> usually over 96 in the same situation. -
Went for a run tonight after dinner. Thankfully it had cooled down to about 25, and I decided to try my regular 5 km circuit in reverse. Three things I figured out:<br />
<br />- running after dinner isn't my thing. I seem to struggle.<br />
<br /> - discretion IS the better part of valour - especially when you have to choose between running or bowel control. I got just over 2 km in when things started to get ...uh... complicated. I tried to go on, I really did.<br />
<br />
Ultimately I had to slow it to a walk for the last mile or so in order to get home intact. So 3.39 km in 18:03. <br />
<br />
Really disappointing weekend for running. Will go back to early mornings in future and extend the distance.<br />
<br />
Oh, the third thing:<br />
<br /> - I have excellent control for minimum 1800m in these situations. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

<br />
Going on a 12km run and having this issue about 5km from completion is a big problem... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' />
