Deadlifts are in and I'm smoked. Nothing, not even squatting heavy empties the tank like a good deadlift session.

Lol.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Serious knee problems. No squats or lunges. Ever.  Make it difficutl to do deadlifts too. Fuck.

Had a bad spell.  Had a muscle pulled playing basketball and used that as a very convenient excuse to do even less.  Now I need to get back on that horse.

I am happy to report that I started back at the gym that day - well really the boys dragged me back to the gym and I have been going 4 times/week since plus morning exercises every morning.  I am down 10lbs and on my way back to fitness.  Probably another few weeks before I am fit enough to hit the courts again without risk of reinjury.

Excellent work. 


Not doing a hell of a lot of anything myself at the moment.

I lost 8 pounds last month.

Back down to 171. Bleh.

[Ideologue]

FUCK.  You're saying that just to hurt me.

[Ed Anger]

Gallbladder attacks will melt the pounds off of you.

I ran a 10k today. Somewhat bittersweet. I've had as a running goal to run a sub 50 minute 10k for a while, but I don't run many races, and never have done it. Today I ran 49 min 31 sec, so that was one more item off the bucket list.

However, I ran a 22:00 min 5k earlier this year, so this wasn't a good race for me. I started too fast and walked a bit in three sections (~3-4 min total), which I sort of consider cheating. Not to mention a guy I work with rather closely ran it in 43 minutes.

Maybe my goal for next year will be 45 minutes.

Kill him.

If that's too bloody-minded, suggest law school.

[alfred russel]

He is a number of notches above me in the food chain, too high up to consider law school. That only leaves me one option......to run faster.

Than the cops?  It can be done.  Remember to serpentine.

A woman living below me that is battling a weight problem did the same 10k I did. It was her first 10k and her time was 1hr 50 minutes. The friends she did it with are now discussing a half marathon. 

[Eddie Teach]

Well, people don't typically walk 13 miles without some kind of external pressure.
