    <p>I'm in the last group leaving prior to the "walk/fun run" so hopefully the athletes are finished by then and I can hit my planned 6 minute/km timing. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'll have the phone with me to do a GPS time as well so will be interesting to compare the two.</p>

    <p>Nice one mate!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Have you seen the spartacus workouts? Circuits of 10 exercises for 1 min each and all stuff you can do with limited weights at home etc. A couple of my mates ave been doing them and have cut up well on them. Might give them a go myself.</p>

    Will give that a look. Because I only do limited circuit work (like once every couple of weeks) getting the most out of it is what i aim for.

    I tend to wreck myself as a result

    <p>I've been adding a 50m run in between sets at the moment, starting with legs and the run in between is a killer which makes the whole workout tough!</p>

    <p>Argh fuck - at karate last night I started to feel a bit of the tickle in the back of the throat and sure enough, today I woke up feeling like shit. Sinus pain, headache, general lethargy, and runny nose. Fucking kids brought it home from school I think.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Hopefully today at home will help set it right, but means no running probably until Friday at the earliest, and maybe not even then.</p>

    <p>yeah bro, take it easy on the cardio if you have a flu/cold. Reckon you can still sneak some light weights in but cardio ain't a good match for that sort of illness. Your event is coming up soon though isn't it??</p>

    <p>my tried and true (for me) way to avoid illness is when I feel the slightest hint of anything coming, I ensure I get through at least 3L of water (usually 4L) I have had 1 sick day in the past 5 years...</p>

    Falling asleep at my desk today. Took the kids to swimming then went to the doctor. It's viral.

    His quote about the run on Sunday: "No chance"

    I'd be bummed about it if I had the energy to give a fuck.

    80 bucks to enter and they won't refund me because medical cutoff was July 5!<br><br>
    Well fuck those guys - I'm going to go get the race bib and run the fucking thing anyway. Fuck the doctor.<br><br>

    Yeah the prep can be a bit of a hassle, but I'd never trade in the yolk. One of the spartan/paleo type diets I was reading said that if there is enough stuff in an egg to create life, why throw part of it away?<br><br>
    I do miss proper eggs though, like we had on the farm as kids. Same as the lamb you get from the butcher - tastes a bit bland when you're used to the stuff that eats your own grass<br><br>
    Anyway, enough reminiscing. Feeling better after shaking the worst of the cold and associated gut problems. Weighed in back under 92kg this morning and had a pretty light eating day as I go through a mini detox.<br><br>
    Karate tonight. First exercise I've done in a week and it was fucking grouse. Bit of light kumite at the end (no gloves) which got the lungs blowing a bit. Might be time to start running again (Thursday) and have a crack at that Shift Weight routine I put on Kea's thread tomorrow.<br><br><br><br>

    Cat vomits x 10 and some meditation before bed. Feeling good again. <br><br>
    On Thursday, I hit the 2 year anniversary of serious weight loss. Final weigh in this cycle will therefore be Saturday.<br><br><br><br>
