    True to my word, I went for a run this morning. I had forgotten how good an early morning run could feel when the weather conditions are right. <br />
    <br />
    5 km in 26:03 which is pretty good for first run in a while.

    [quote name='Kea' timestamp='1365156327' post='357309']Great. I hope you are sore tomorrow-and not just in the arms! [/quote]<br />
    <br />
    Lats are a bit sore today, and triceps. And the abs are twitchy from their first go around in a couple of weeks.

    Where do you get a sore back? Upper, lower, mid?<br />
    There are these cheap manipulators here, I used to use them (basically chiropractors), but since I've been doing pull ups + abs on the pull up bar my back has been much better and I haven't needed to go once. Years, so happy about that, I really had years of pain before the years of absence of pain now.<br />
    Still wondering if the chin ups might be twisting your back, but it's just a random guess and probably wrong.<br />
    <br />
    Do you have any soreness from the dip/pull ups workouts? Are they easy, or tiring, and should you do more?

    Left over from a bad SI joint - hips mis aligned causing issues elsewhere. At the moment the back pain is lower left, right in next to the spine, but I can feel strain on the left neck and shoulder when I'm doing over head press.<br />
    <br />
    Its long term from a damaged left ankle.

    Not doing enough dips to tell, but definitely sore after pull up work - triceps, lats mostly.

    And forearms - because of the size of the bar I have to use my whole hand to grip over the top and that provides a heck of a lot of strain on the forearms.

    Hiked in the Blue Mountains today - some really vertical shit going on there including passing a landslide via cable mounted in the cliff wall! About 18 km in under 5 hours - the GPS got most of it OK.<br />
    <br />
    Altitude varied between 400 and 1050 apparently.

    90.8 this morning without really trying. School holidays and my turn to look after the kids - mini golf, movie, lunch at Gourmet Pizza Kitchen. Tomorrow I might head up the mountains and show them some awesome lookout action<br />
    <br />
    Did my cat voms routine tonight after seeing the Chiro and getting some muscle release and activation done. Jeez it tires you out!<br />
    <br />
    Got my next round of arse cam on Monday so a few days of light eating and some light exercise should see me under 90 by the time I've finished the prep...

    After failing to conquer my desire to sleep in the last few weeks, I finally dragged myself out for a run this morning.<br />
    <br />
    5.02 km in 24:40 - the 5 km mark was 24:28 which was a new PB by 14s. Not sure how that last 20m equates to 12 s but I'll take it.<br />
    <br />
    Walked home the long way - 2.81km in 24:50

    So, sitting here just after 6PM, having fasted all day for the colonoscopy tomorrow. Quite frankly I still don't know why I agreed to go ahead with my second one in 12 months, but then I have a feeling I should trust this surgeon more than the last idiot. He's a specialist in the area rather than the general numpty I got put onto last time. If they find some cancer I'll buy him a beer... not sure I want to shake his hand though...<br />
    <br />
    But that doesn't make fasting suck any less.<br />
    <br />
    My advice is, don't ever get in this situation. I like food too much to do it again, and I doubt whether it will do anything meaningful for my weight loss... at least until I have to get up at 5AM tomorrow and start slurping down the colon blow...

    Did some cat voms and meditation tonight to take my mind off FOOD. Whatever shitty sandwich they give me when I wake up tomorrow, it will be the best sandwich in the universe for the next hour

    Three friends have recently had full body health checks done here-which included one of these. Brutal. Good luck, hope they find nothing and you can relax going forward.
