@CC - yeah I'm thinking of dropping in on my gym's 20 minute courses in weight rooms for that. On the other hand, this isn't my first gym membership.

True, but I thought I knew a lot also. Its always beneficial to get someone to keep you going on the right track.


@ Brazen.  Well done.

That was odd, mongers.

My mouse is malfunctioning, clicked on the edit and it went for the delete button. 

I was just saying that was a good distance you walked there, more than I could do nowadays.

You can cycle 400 miles a month but not walk 13? 

So I walked a brisk 5 or so miles in a nearby city yesterday evening and now I've got a somewhat tender, bruised right foot, what did I say. 


Actually it's probably a cumulative injury from doing to much hard and fast off-road riding recently.

I'm in love. Only 14,999DKK (€2000).

Taking the rest of the month off running. The idea was that I'd cross train, but I did a single Body Pump class and it nearly crippled me! Entered the Brighton Half Marathon with my race buddy in February when it will be freeeeeeezing along the sea front. Planning a couple of 10Ks in December and January.

I'm fed up with being a "Aww, well done, you finished" and actually want to start improving my times, despite being ancient. Got a plan with speedwork and need to lose weight, do strength training and stretch properly. There aren't enough days in the week!

Liep, that's a very nice looking bike, the sort that would probably do you till retirement age. 

I was looking at something similar the other day, a bit cheap, but a good steel frame, set-up for touring and with a nicely raked forks (which I've recently become a fan of, 'self-steering', less positive/twichy handling)

Hooyah!

Found thread in bottom third of page 4.

Anyone up to much?

[lustindarkness]

Still running 3 times a week.

[lustindarkness]

Slowly (like my running ) increasing my long run to 6 to 8 miles.

Just think of it as you're running for AR, Brazen and notionally me*.


* I now only run to catch train, buses, coaches and the tube.

I'm doing lots of climbing.

But in terms of running I'm falling off a cliff. Climbing is just more fun. I'm at 5 miles this week, and if it doesn't stop raining, that is where I will end the week.

Did some bench press with dumb bells at an offset angle rather than just using a straight bar.  Its amazing how that little shift hits completely different muscles.  Sore as hell today.

I'm starting to look less shaped like a blob. I'm happy.

I changed apartments this summer, and now I ride my bike to the gym instead of walking, since it'a bit far. That little extra exercise seems to have made quite a difference since I'm losing weight at a faster pace.

Still 10 kgs to go, mind, and Christmas around the corner will set me back a little I'm afraid  .

Also this new gym has hotter women in it.

I discovered that when you leave the easy to reach fattening foods of New York behind / start with a decent bit of walking everyday - you can melt away pounds with the greatest of ease. Down 8 pounds since February.
