Fat busting/Ab circle
-
Hard work,instant reward!<br />
<br />
Went for a run along the hutt river late yesterday. dropped the car at lower hutt and ran up river to taita. Its all low impact pavement running but a fair hike. Best part is the end. Took an inner tube and a pump in my pack, a little bit to lug but thats all part of it. Pumped up the inner tube jumped in the river and floated lazily back yo my car! How cool is that? Just don't fall asleep!<br />
<br />
mapped out the run for those interested.<br />

<br />
edit: as with my last mapped run it only allows me to map streets, all of my run was on the stop bank above the river. great scenery so far from a boring run. -
My bro and I used to do it years ago when we trained together. When he buggered off to Ing-a-land I just stopped doing it. <br />
<br />
Was sitting there watching the young fulla with his floaties on in the pool and it just hit me.<br />
<br />
Will be a regular thing again for sure. -
[quote name='Hooroo']It's a shame you timed it for the end of Summer! Sounds like a cracking reward for a hard/long run[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I thought the same thing as soon as I got back to my car. Im hoping for a typical late wellington summer though, as I'm yet to see it... -
[quote name='BartMan']fuck year - a couple of bottle of beer too - now that would be prefrect. Maybe you need a running partner. One to carry the beers, and one for the tubes and pumps![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
As much as I like the sound of that finding my self at Matiu Somes Island is what would likely happen. Im a light weight after exercise. Jeez I likely end up one of those stupid Darwin Awards tards. -
Spoke to a few guys Im playing rugby with this season about coming on the run with me. Last night we came up with 7 guys on a shorter run to accommodate the fatties. This morning I got emails from all over the show and now its up to 13 guys and 3 of them aren't even in the team. <br />
<br />
Jeez if it was a more scenic run in some rougher terrain I could charge bloody prices.... -
Been awhile. I've gotten right back into trail running and as lick would have it I live basically at the foot of a handy track in J-ville.<br />
<br />
Still off the carbs but basically a pussy compared to Bartman. Have gone an entire month of eating breakfast, which has always been a hard thing for me. Pretty much doing the Ab thing 3 times a day and have the makings of a 4 pack(the other two are on lay-a-way). LOwest weight in god knows how long: 95kg. I'd aimed for about that but I reckon 90 will be better.<br />
<br />
Its not so much of a big thing now, losing the weight. It's like Im back at college and my metabolism is powering through the food. -
yeah Raz - Deano Bravo (my mate Deano) is now being traned by my trainer too (he came to the dark side, we have treat meals)! Anyway, he is now eating more than he was, and losing weight. Got to kiick start yourself again - and the older we get, the harder!!

<br />
Gotta say i have become a huge fan of the warm steak salad! I pretty much go through a family size by myself now. -
Six boys from back in the day and 100m of track! I was a sprinter and so were my best mates. Now we are all guys who say they were sprinters but look like we are shot putters.<br />
<br />
We are all still very competitive - whos son is the biggest, best car, hottest wife... etc - but nothing tangible to gloat with, no trophy with a plaque on it saying "champion" (tattoos on trophy wives don't count) so my mate JD came up with a ground breaking idea....wait for it....old guys running 100m and see who wins. The first sentence likely gave that away.<br />
<br />
But we are taking it serious. Real sprint training and goal weights. Just did my first session of ladder work...its been too long and coordination is shot. But it was fun. For the most part we'll actually try to train together, but no practice races other than 40m.<br />
<br />
Race is set for september! I will try to get the guys to let me chuck photos up.<br />
<br />
WINNER gets a 3 foot trophy wording on plaque is yet to be determined. Rest assured Razbra will be on there somewhere! -
that sound awsome! you need a local butcher to sponsor it or something - tough meat 100m or similar!! Pics would be awesome - if you could get the other lads onto the fern that would be primo too

Mate these guys struggle with digital cameras and facebook I have told most of them many times about TSF and they just laugh at me. -
Hit the wall the last couple days. My training partner is a lot fitter than I thought he was and is a nut case. Calling every bloody day, twice a day - "mate lets go for a run" or "aqua jogging?" and "rock climbing?" I can't tell him about the Fern as I wouldn't be able to complain about him!<br />
<br />
We are going to try those concept rowing machines for a month, on his say so. feels a lot like being back at college and I have BBall, Rugby and league training all over again.
