Not doing much at the moment, aiming to cut back on exercise so I can put on a bit of weight for winter.

Though I did pop out late this afternoon for a quick spin on the folding bike around the New Forest, ended up doing 50km, though certainly felt I could have done another 50km if I hadn't had run out of light.

Sorry for being a dick. I don't want to brag or whatever. But as I've found a way to get in shape and still not give up the booze, sometimes the combination of those factors creates a perfect storm of whiskey-fueled weight loss posting.

And making Meri mad at me, and praising my wife. Who is actually quite cool.

Nothing dickish about that. Sometimes after a work day starts badly I record the calories in the wine I intend to drink that evening at 9.30am

If I have a weight-loss plateau, beer and pizza followed by a three-mile run the next morning gets things moving again, as it were. I've learned to plan a route with regular toilet stops though 

Anyway, I'm back at it. I ran outside for the first time in over a month yesterday and did circuit training today.

By the way runners and zombie fans, if you don't have it already download the "Zombies, Run!" app. Nothing like a horde of undead on your tail to make you run fast!

I would let the zombies catch me.

I would let the zombies catch me. 

My brain would probably make them sick.

I have a feeling the few really fit people on Languish never post in this thread and its just us aged whingers who bother.

True. 

My waist is the same as it was when I was fitted for my tux when I got married now however. Fifteen years ago. I also started going grey at age thirteen. I'll be starting a thread asking about dying your hair soon.

I have a feeling you actually are one of the fittest people on Languish. Not counting Cecil B. DeLurk.

I don't think so. But yes, we're getting older

Well you've ruined my pet theory now. 

By the way how did you race in the Alps/Jura go ?

Just to be clear, I don't consider myself 'really fit', far from it atm actually. Hence my absence from this thread, I think most people do post here when they've been working out.

I last raced in the Alps three years ago, is that the one you're referring to?

Did one of the last weekends of biking Sat and Sun.  Woke up both days and it was windy (a problem here on the High Plains) and cold, but still did two of the 25 mile round trips.

I figure I did well over 1500 miles from Spring til now - which is good, as in a couple of weeks it gets below zero and the bike stays away until April.

I guess it's swings and roundabouts, you get all of benefits of living in such spectacular country, but you have to live with the interior continental seasons; here we just seem to get variations on drizzle/mist/haze year round.

Let me tell you, when a Barrister Boy Arctic Express rolls through and the temperature never gets above -10f all day, the last thing I want to do is bike.
