Got out to Coogee today and covered a few km on the Bondi-Coogee walk.
At home I did 6 chinups (proper form, set of 3, 2, 1) while doing some shit outside. Later I went for a walk (4.5km in 41 minutes) and did some more body weight: 5 sets of 2 x chinups, 5 x pushups, 60s break.
So far resisting the chocolate cake Mrs TA made....
Goal weight in 10 weeks will be something under 91kg. It'll probably mean a new work wardrobe
but worth it for my long term health.Been trying out various relaxation videos on Youtube, some of which are specifically targeted to ED. One of them is an Irish guy talking, and a comment on the page is "Sounds like Father Ted trying to get me off!"

@nta we used rainstorm vids to get bubs to sleep. I've since used a couple of those as sleep and relaxation aides... just need to make sure you aren't busting for a piss tho!
@paekakboyz one night a mate and I camped by the Snowy River in Spring, as the melt was reaching its peak. I went from deeply asleep to busting and back within a couple of minutes

Run was cut short this morning after sleeping in a little - 3km in 17:14.
Did you stop for a meal along the way?

That's cruel.
Funny, but cruel. -

Funny, but cruel.A mate of mine who is a former running champ said the exact same to me when I told him my impressive ( for me ) time.
It upset me so much I haven't been for a run since.

yeah smoking too many blunts is not at all good for cardio... or so a friend told me.

Great for strength training, safety issues aside

Protein cones?
Anyway, Pilates last night and really pushed through. Feeling so much better after tho the back is a bit sore today.
Did some walking today - covering about 3km in a couple of sessions (one lunch, one evening) and then home tonight for more body weight:
2 x proper form chinups
5 x proper form pushups
60s rest
5 sets of that.I varied the pushups from tricep emphasis (elbows back) to elbows out, wide hands, diamond, and then elbows back.
The last set of pushups were a bit of a challenge actually, as the wide hands followed by diamond really tested the shoulders. Don't think I'm entirely over getting dumped on my left shoulder a few months back during a rugby match.

It's actually pretty cool. I've started taking him running with me once a week. He does well, but i push him pretty hard. It's teaching me to be comfortable running a bit slower as well. He did 7km on Wednesday night (while my 7 year old buzzed around us on a scooter)

PRO TIP: when eating the ice cream it's best to come to a complete halt. Trying to run and eat the ice cream at the same time can be tricky.
the first time i did a proper, organised run, with water stations, i realised i can't drink from a cup and run without drowning myself. spastic!

Good stuff!! Years ago I did a 10km run in wellington and for about half of it was paced by a 8-10 year old who had farking springs in his shoes. It was like an rhino (me obs) slamming along next to a bloody gazelle! He was in the Harriers running club so I only felt a wee bit bitter.
Luckily he upped his pace and I settled in behind a nice peach
#disclaimer - said peach was on a hot wahine, not a young man trying to run away from me!!
