Back for more!
-
Finally decided to get out for a walk this morning after weeks of inactivity. Got bored half a klick in, so moved into a jog.
3km in 17 minutes. Got a wart on the outside of my left foot which sucks with run with at full pace, forefoot striking, but that's not a bad effort.
-
@NTA pretty much the spirit of one of @mariner4life posts earlier this week. Although he also swam and cycled... and maybe ran just a few more kms 😂😂
-
@Paekakboyz could manage 2.5km at 6:15. Christ it is a long way back.

Just ran for the first time in months.
Fuck all this
Yeah running is shit unless it's a short sprint. Even then it's shit.
Focus on being a power athlete, do something amazing briefly as opposed to something mundane for ages.
This also applies to ones sex life.

"Power athlete" get a load of this fluffybunny.

Do strong things......briefly........
Then fuck off for a beer/feed.
I'm not sure what your issue is.

Which reminds me: the lady wife is in a bit of a pickle as her yoga instructor is off popping out a brat. So she's looking for options, and the conversation went something like this:
Her: "Maybe we should go do some hardcore cardio together?"
Me: "Well let's go to the gym that [friend of the family] owns an-."
Her: "Woah no way!"
Me: "-d get some muscle tone with weight work".
Her: Blank stare
Me: "Well, let's see what they say" -

Maybe try the man-wife then. I think he's just finished some half ironman or some shit.

@MN5 exactly. I think - based on what she's done for fitness to date (Mum's dancing class, Zumba, Yoga) - that it is more about the setting and the company, than any kind of effort.
In effect, she doesn't want to look bad in front of people younger than her.

I've also started doing pushups, chinups, and other body weight like squats and lunges to get a bit of tone back.
All of this sucks equally compared to the running. But it has to be done.
Really ? I love that sorta shit but hate running.....anything more than a sprint is a waste of time considering the fact I have a car.

@MN5 and someone else is paying for the gas!
Shit yeah. I'd turn it off and on at the lights otherwise.

Had dreams of running 5km but settled for 3km after getting to 2km nearly wrecked me. Again the time is well out, but I'm 104kg so naturally it is going to suck.
I'm starting back at the gym this week in order to force myself to get into a workout space - $17/week includes one group session which I'll make something weights-related. In between body weight 1-2 times a week at home, running 2-3 times per week and some heavier gym sessions I should start to see some tone.
Still - need to get the eating back under control but shit its hard in winter.
