Touch - lost 4-3 or 5-4 - by one anyway. dick head ref being intimidated by their dickhead players - was just a virgin though, his first game, and a bit out of his depth, but unfortunately he was holding them on about a 3 metre 5 metre line, while we had a decent ref, who gave them a 5m gap. Oh well, you get decent refs in the finals, so fingers crossed!!<br />

bloody hell bart, all this rowing is immense!! well done mate!<br />
<br />
Is the rowing helping to tone the body? Is it increasing muscle on your chest and arms etc? -
hey da grub. <br />
<br />
TOnes the body no end - and weight loss -- now weigh in at around 96 after being a good 120 a couple of Xmas's ago.<br />
<br />
does nothing for your chest, but back / shoulder / lats in particular certainly have got bigger!!<br />
<br />
Also good for abs and legs - basiucally a whole body workout, go as hard or as easy as you like!!<br />
<br />
And for the journal - over the last few weeks have been rowing 50-60,000 week - bloody Christmas!! -
well my third run tonight before gym, and enjoying it. On the forestry roads in the bush around Whangamata, so is up hill and down, sod all flat stuff, but good fun. Have not run weighing in under 100lg for 20 years, and enjoying it.<br />
<br />
First run went out and up hills for 20 minutes, back down in 14. Second run was going to do a loop, but took a wrong turn, and did a bigger loop - 55 minutes, and still enjoyed it!! <br />
<br />
TOnights run anohter 20 minute out job. made my last 20 minute mark in 17 and a half minutes, and back down the hill in 33 odd minutes - so went further, quicker, and was actually [i]running [/i] as opposed to that damn plod that most of us would know so well!!<br />
<br />
Gyming pretty much every night of the week, deadlifts, squats, bench press and shoulder press the staple here, and rowing at least 5k a day too, 10 on the days I am not running.<br />
<br />
so, enjoying running, never thought I would see the day!! -
I can smell an injury defying comeback!!!
-
Glad to hear you other fellas are getting into running, I did a few years ago did not help me lose any weight but I found it a great way to get fit and after the inital hatred of it I began to love it, now I get shitty when I cant get enough runs in during the week. Like at the moment. Give us some distances as well as times so we have an idea how you are really getting on.<br />
<br />
Mooshld -
no idea as to distances, will have to get Prop Cyril and a four wheel drive and clock the routes. Reckon the body will be able to handle 3 runs a week before kneew / anlkes / hips / backs pack up!!<br />
<br />
Walked the track this morning, it takes 12 minutes to walk to the top of the first hill before you start running over the hill tops.<br />
<br />
So walked in for 20 minutes, and then walked back, and it is harder to walk downhill than to run, but I walked, as I am enjoying the running, and don't want to over do it and be physically unable to do it!!<br />
<br />
Then gym'd, doing light squats, bench, shoulder press and db curls.<br />
<br />
So Cyril, you 'owe' me one... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
still rowing, still running, still doing weights. Just a lot less rowing at the moment, too damn hot.<br />
<br />
Still, weight down to 93.1 - from a game high 120 three years or so ago.<br />
<br />
rowed a PB 2k time today of 6:33.7.<br />
<br />
Rob and Mahi had better watch out... :2funny: -

Good to hear your back into it Bart, I was worried you may have fallen off the wagon for a while there. Im waddling along at the moment in an attempt to run. Im timing my run so come the middle of the second round when there will be no fit props left in TA Im going to be lethal. -
lol. Yeah, it's all about the timing RB!!<br />
<br />
Whangamata take on Tairua this Friday in first hoit out of season. Prop Cyril weighing in at 118 at the moment, from a game high of 150 odd last season. He won't know what hit him Saturday. All that extra running and work he is going to be able to do!!<br />
<br />
Running still sucks, but being lighter, it hurts the body less, and is almost enjoyable. Al,most. -

NPC Valley comeback for Cyril on the cards for 2008? -
sounds like a great place to run BM - off the roads and in a bit of nature always makes for a more interesting run (if you're not looking for that lung you just coughed up!!).<br />
<br />
I know exactly what you mean regarding running after having lost weight - crazy how much lighter on your feet you feel!<br />
<br />
don't know whether it's worth checking out but you might be able to get an idea of how long your run is by using [url="http://www.mapmyrun.com"]www.mapmyrun.com[/url] - even if the tracks etc aren't on maps you can switch it to 'hybrid' mode and it overlays a photo of the area from google earth.<br />
<br />
good effort from both of you lads - always sparks a bit of interest when the lads on TSF are getting their mojo running for rugger season!
