Fatbusting: Hooroos log

6 MILES, 6 MILES, 6 MILES!<br />
<br />
Wahhoooeee.<br />
<br />
A bit sore today but am stoked that I have reached the 10k mark. Next rung in the ladder is 8 miles but I have been told to stick with 6 miles-ish until the 31st of August and then we can push it a bit more.<br />
<br />
Feeling ALOT fitter but I doubt that I have lost weight -

fuck I soooo hate running. Good work Hooroo - keep going!<br />

<br />
Same here Bartman. I'm lucky that I have a running partner who is very motivated and there are plenty of tracks through the forest to prevent the boredom. Only problem is that it's all up and down with only a few flats, but I assume that will mean that I will be able to go a bit further on a normal flat road -

Right back onto the Wagon and have attached an extra Mule.<br />
<br />
Excellent run last night. 4 miles but was able to power up the final hill. Was pretty stoked as I usually plod a bit quicker than walking pace.<br />
<br />
Dinner was two large tomatos and two peaches as I was too knackered and never feel like eating after a late run.<br />
<br />
Breakfast was something that resembled a thimble full of greek Yoghurt and berries. Bloody hungry but coffee helps. Boxing at lunchtime today.<br />

I did a bit of it a few years back and it ruined me. Thing that makes me laugh is how big the guys are without being heavy....if you catch my drift. You go there and say ok i am 14 stone and that makes you a cruiser weight, not even a light heavy weight or anything...and the guys that fight at cruiser weight seem massive. -

Good for your stability too. Trail running is almost always a harder workout than straight road or track.<br />
<br />
Good work big man! -

Cheers mate, interesting to here about stability as I have a bung knee and piss weak ankles, so hopefully this will help.<br />
<br />
Another 6 miler on the cards tonight -
when you hit Whanga next Hooroo I'll have to take you out on a few of the tracks in the foirestry for running on then - the only place I can run now, because it bores the crap out of me on the road - so if I get the inane urge to run, it's a mountina bike / run thing in the hills. Lotsa fun!<br />
<br />
But I still hate running! -

I'm still enjoying running as I feel myself getting fitter and I'm 'stronger' for every run I do so far. Would love to go over the tracks round Whanga, so I will hold you to that offer Thanks<br />
<br />
Still hate running though. -
Girly run last night. 2 miles to cricket practise and then bowled in the nets for an hour and had a bat until I got a full bunger in the ankle. It still smarts and the bruising has crept round to the sole of my foot.<br />
<br />
Cricket this arvo though, so will hopefully run it off -
Drowned my sorrows tonight. Played cricket this afternoon and batted at 5. Was seeing it like a basketball and hit 11 off 4 balls. I dislocated my knee hitting my second 4 and I am pissed off.<br />
Won't take long to get back into it as straight pressure on the knee is fine so I will be able to row and run with a brace. Still pretty pissed off as I feel so much fitter -
you dislocated your knee batting - wearing spikes or sometrhing and foot being stuck...??? I haven't heard of anything like that before - although in my time at the crease reackon I hace swung that hard my shoulders have been in danger of leavinf the sockets!<br />
<br />
Get well soon! -

Recurring injury... it's a piss-weak knee and I was driving on the back foot and didn't have my weight over my knee properly.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if I wasn't so over-weight if it would have collapsed like it did :evil: -
Went for my first run again since doing my knee in. Was uncomfortable but OK. Only a 2 miler but I was able to 'sprint' the last 200 metres up a hill. I haven't lost as much fitness as I thought I had.<br />
<br />
I have also been doing weights at the gym for conditioning rather than trying to get stronger/heavier -
good stuff mate - started weights again here too - mate's got the home gym set up again, and lloving it, three days in a row, and body knows about it!! Still rowing hard out, and adding weights on top of that, so will be interesting to see what happens to the body with this sort of regime!!

I've purposely been avoiding this as everytime I post in here I either get slack or injured. I thought I would give it a few weeks before noting what I have done.<br />
<br />
Really ebjoying the weights again. First time I've done them properly since 2000. When I say properly, I'm not trying to build bulk, just trying to to and get some consistancy again.<br />
<br />
I am really surprised at how weak my right leg and left arm are.
