Okay, I didn't realize that. I wouldn't worry about your time so much, that'll get better the more you do it.

Sadly, I don't run at all. I started on the couch to 5 km program but at the end of the first week, I fucked my knee up in that I had to ice it for a week. So, I will not jog for awhile. I also have some hip/leg issues with sciatica and have to watch what I do. If I do too much, it flares up, if I sit around too much, it flares up.. so swimming, biking, yoga, and walking works for me.

A lovely afternoon sesh of:

step machine 5 mins
triceps
lower abs
delts
upper abs
pecs

x 6 sets



Lubbly jubbly.

Walked to the bus stop.

Walked from the bus stop to the pub.

Walked to another pub.

Walked to find an ATM.

Walked to another pub.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

Fell into taxi.

Now about to do some more walking.

Good call.

Reminded me I've got around a dozen or so in the deep freeze. Indian bloke nearby that usually does rotis sometimes has them on his stall, chicken n potato. Buy him out and stick 'em all in the freezer 3 to a ziplock bag. Will go nicely with the beer sing later, cheers.

Seekh and ye shall find.

Sure.

3 or 4, hmmmm....

Indian, it doesn't really matterrrrrr.

Well Well, I go away for awhile, and it seems that the only exercise Hal is getting is using his arm to drink beer!

Not surprised to see Eddie still working out, glad he's gotten back on track from his injury.

Joe - Get back at it, boyo! Get some free weights at home to work those muscles. Glad you are going back again.

I did a 30 km bike ride yesterday, been cross training doing mitts and pad work, biking, weight class, and swimming these days.

Got a great compliment from my super fit friend yesterday, when she said that my biking speed is faster than last year and the year before when trying to keep up with her on a racing bike.

I've not done the gym seriously since before lockdown and have lost about 5 kilos of upper body muscle which pisses me off a bit.

How's it going, Joe? Still going to the gym with your son?

A lovely Friday threesome.



30 minutes mountain biking in the morning to loosen up and get some blood and air flowing.

1 hour jogging in the park - 8.7km

6 sets of biceps, upper abs, lats, lower abs.




Time for a few early pints with the gym boys, oh yes, feel the edorphins.


Yesterday was a rest day, and still have done 15 sessions this month and it's only the 13th.

^ Friday 13th... be careful out there.

^ Cheers, I did wake up with a sore ar.... arm. A sore arm.


Monday madness down the gym.

Bit o' light cardio, upper abs, biceps, lower abs, lats.

Stayed in as it's a bit damp out.




8.4km in 60 minutes, which is just about acceptable as there was football + black label until 1am then up at 6:30am.

rock n roll

Unlike this grammar, your not wrong, Sir.

Not too shabby after Ya Dong!

My aim is to beat 35 minutes for 5km before the end of the year.

Or is that a bit ambitious?

Top work.

I'm about to start, gonna give 1 hour another whirl.

It's doable if the flesh wants it

Doesn't that machine say heart rate 47 and incline 10, like he's been running downhill?

Smashed biceps and lats, 8 sets each, 1 minute of skipping rope in between. Wotta feeling.

Evening park stroll then out for Halloween beers n birds. Have a good un' creeps n weirdos.

I've lost all interest in the gym in recent months. I'd been running 2 or 3 times a week for the last 20 years or so (either in the gym or outside), but I'm just bored.

I still get out for a good walk though and had a lovely little one last Sunday. About 10km we notched up in total with the challenges being some mighty fucking steep steps up to a couple of old castles.

Lovely views too.

What's going on here then?

The first set of steps of about 7 million.

A castle on a hill with no steps. And how we ended up wishing there were.
