Wednesday<br />
5500m - that will be all today, as touch this evening<br />
Touch - gave a team a hiding 10-3, although it felt like a close game, as the scoring went 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2 so on until they scored the last try to make it 10-2.  But it was hard out, they were a good team with all the drives and boring shit like that.  We on the other hand with the Fijian brand keep the ball alive, 40 percent possession had a great time.  Managed the oipening score of the game being the last man in a 100-1 overlap...<br />

[da_grubster]

bloody hell bart, all this rowing is immense!! well done mate!<br />
<br />
Is the rowing helping to tone the body?  Is it increasing muscle on your chest and arms etc?

[BartMan]

hey da grub.  <br />
<br />
TOnes the body no end - and weight loss -- now weigh in at around 96 after being a good 120 a couple of Xmas's ago.<br />
<br />
does nothing for your chest, but back / shoulder / lats in particular certainly have got bigger!!<br />
<br />
Also good for abs and legs - basiucally a whole body workout, go as hard or as easy as you like!!<br />
<br />
And for the journal - over the last few weeks have been rowing 50-60,000 week - bloody Christmas!!

[BartMan]

well my third run tonight before gym, and enjoying it.  On the forestry roads in the bush around Whangamata, so is up hill and down, sod all flat stuff, but good fun.  Have not run weighing in under 100lg for 20 years, and enjoying it.<br />
<br />
First run went out and up hills for 20 minutes, back down in 14.  Second run was going to do a loop, but took a wrong turn, and did a bigger loop - 55 minutes, and still enjoyed it!!  <br />
<br />
TOnights run anohter 20 minute out job.  made my last 20 minute mark in 17 and a half minutes, and back down the hill in 33 odd minutes - so went further, quicker, and was actually [i]running [/i] as opposed to that damn plod that most of us would know so well!!<br />
<br />
Gyming pretty much every night of the week, deadlifts, squats, bench press and shoulder press the staple here, and rowing at least 5k a day too, 10 on the days I am not running.<br />
<br />
so, enjoying running, never thought I would see the day!!

[Fullermorg]

I can smell an injury defying comeback!!!

[BartMan]

nah, body has always been fine - it is my head that is fucked, which all of my friends can attest too.  Strangely enough, most began attesting this many years previous to the final concussion... :nta

[BartMan]

another forestry track run - Prop Cyril's first run for the pre season too, big fella flying along - 55 minute loop, and big fella handled it with ease - amazing when you are not carrying around that extra 30 odd kilos!!

[mooshld]

Glad to hear you other fellas are getting into running, I did a few years ago did not help me lose any weight but I found it a great way to get fit and after the inital hatred of it I began to love it, now I get shitty when I cant get enough runs in during the week. Like at the moment. Give us some distances as well as times so we have an idea how you are really getting on.<br />
<br />
Mooshld

[BartMan]

no idea as to distances, will have to get Prop Cyril and a four wheel drive and clock the routes.  Reckon the body will be able to handle 3 runs a week before kneew / anlkes / hips / backs pack up!!<br />
<br />
Walked the track this morning, it takes 12 minutes to walk to the top of the first hill before you start running over the hill tops.<br />
<br />
So walked in for 20 minutes, and then walked back, and it is harder to walk downhill than to run, but I walked, as I am enjoying the running, and don't want to over do it and be physically unable to do it!!<br />
<br />
Then gym'd, doing light squats, bench, shoulder press and db curls.<br />
<br />
So Cyril, you 'owe' me one...  <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

[BartMan]

still rowing, still running, still doing weights.  Just a lot less rowing at the moment, too damn hot.<br />
<br />
Still, weight down to 93.1 - from a game high 120 three years or so ago.<br />
<br />
rowed a PB 2k time today of 6:33.7.<br />
<br />
Rob and Mahi had better watch out...  :2funny:
