Well, it's that time in my life where I've got to start thinking about staving off...

when I got off the treadmill

Treadmills are never like the real thing. Is there a park in your city with a jogging trail, or else a track you can run around, or some public place you can use to measure yourself? In Camden a run all around the high school is a mile (give or take some yards), so outside football or basketball game nights, people walk and run around the building.

If you're going to run in a place at night, just make sure it's well lit, and public. Getting mugged really blows a workout.

Don't forget to have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked. Also your colon and prostate are screaming: "Check me too please!"

[Jon Miller]

I check my blood pressure often (at least weekly)

my cholesterol gets checked 4 times a year

colon and prostate can wait a bit, I think, although I shuold probably start thinking about it

Congrats John

I've lost 15 kg in two diets in a year. And I'm now getting muscle on the construction site. It's the first time in my life that I'm happy with my body. I hope that I'll be able to maintain the shape for a long time

[Dis]

losing weight is a *****.

I've actually gained weight since I've started working out. But I think that is muscle weight. My pants feel looser, so I think I'm losing fat. I have no idea.

Nice ass, Spiffor

[Dis]

I really didn't need to see that.

This reminds me... My sig has just changed For great justice! (we should all change our sigs to reflect the Imranian truth)

[Az]

Imran has no chance to survive

[Q Classic]

Way to go, JohnT!

( Personally, I figure I have 12 years remaining before I need to start worrying, and even then, why bother? I'll just die anyways.

And with that logic, why should I shower? I'll just get dirty again. )

[JohnT]

Thanks for the words, everybody.

KH: "I started running again 3 weeks ago.

My medium-term goal is to get my 3 miles under 20 minutes.

Today it was 22:15...

I go about 4 times a week. Somewhere into week two the "training effect" kicked in. I've been eating like 3000-3500 calories a day since then, and still dropping weight.

I'm also doing pullups and pushups every 2 days, and situps every day."

Azz: "2.5kms. currently, at 12 minutes 30 seconds."

Miller: "by slowly I mean 10 pounds in a month.. "

[cranky old man]You damn kids just live to put me in shame, don't you? [/waving cane]

Good stuff, keep on it though. Don't make it just a period, make it a life style.

That's the goal, Pekka.

Yeah, but it's cold outside. And it's harder to look at women. And there are no weight training machines at the track. And people from the office meet at the gym, not at Bearden High School. Etc, etc, etc.

I'm not looking for reality, I'm looking for a place to go sweat for an hour, 4 times a week.

Sig changed!

[Last Conformist]

My sig is better.

[JohnT]

Yes, but ours signifies how Imran is actually welching on a bet.

Come, join us in displaying Imran's shame.

[Az]

[cranky old man]You damn kids just live to put me in shame, don't you? [/waving cane]

say, is the "such a nice arse" version the proper one?

[Spiffor]

Nah. Read japher's post in the thread JohnT linked to. It's the one and only correct version

You wouldn't want to misquote Imran, would you?
