The damn thing is that I just need to kick myself in the ass and ride after work.  Still, it is easier in June when it is 70 in the afternoon than in August when it is 85 at the same time...

I think this is doable.  I'll struggle a lot to get up from the floor though.

Spartan Race is one week from tomorrow.

Still fat and clumsy.

Spartan Race looks like it takes what little enjoyment there is in running and shits on it.

Hah. Not a bad way of looking at it.  I just want to see if I can do it.  Try something different.

You have to post an AAR. I almost signed up for the one here earlier this year. Are you doing the sprint?

I messed up bad this year.

I had a nice 110 km ride today that I dubbed Castle Route as it passes by Frederiksborg, Fredensborg and finally Kronborg in Elsinore before finishing with a nice 50km ride along Øresund, luckily the wind was coming from the north on my way home.

If you're going to run, 5 minutes a day is enough to show benefits.

You don't need to clock record speeds or run marathons to stay healthy. A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that running as little as five minutes a day will do. It gives you the same benefits of running or walking for longer.

The key is to sustain the practice.

Running may in fact be a better exercise option than more moderate-intensity exercises for healthy but sedentary people since it produces similar, if not greater, mortality benefits in five to 10 minutes compared to 15 to 20 minutes per day of moderate-intensity activity.

So go right ahead and relax on the chronic cardio.

The thing is mono that most men are losers and never get to the "doing" part of fitness. Just by showing up and actually working out you're way ahead of most.

Today I woke up and was really hungry. So I ordered pick up from outback. I felt like I ate a lot so I decided to look up the damage:

Aussie Cheese Fries: 1930 calories
12 oz New York Strip: 655 calories
Broccoli side: 109 calories
Loaded Potato: 532 calories

Total: 3,226 calories

I'm still working on the bread, which is another 310 calories. Regardless, I feel like I accomplished something today.

Just ran a personal best 5km: 27m13s.

The delicious taste of clogged arteries.

Just ran a personal best 5km: 27m13s.

That's pretty good going, especially as you're now rather getting on. 


I doubt I did it that fast, when I used to run 5,000 metres, though I forget the times, it was literally half a lifetime ago.

Time for a sprint triathlon?
