Lost the biggest bet of my life this week.  The stake was a Marathon.  I hate running with a passion, but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't honor the bet.  I wish I bet a triathalon or half Ironman as I am an ok swimmer and cyclist <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> No time limit as to when it is to be done, but I figure that the sooner I do it the better.  Will aim for the Rotorua Marathon next year... whenever that is.<br />

best thing i ever did for my running was set a goal - run a marathon. will it happen - i dont know. but i got a couple of books with programs for marathon training and they make it seem very acheivable.<br />
<br />
basic premise is to not over train and take it gradually... the entire course in one book takes 18 weeks which is not a long time at all... the inifinte number of tips you get from these books on distance running is invaluable. the success rates for first time marathoners are very re-assuring too.<br />
i also just got a book on the alexander technique which seems really good, i havent had a chance to really dig into it but it concentrates on proper running form to maximise efficiency and minimise potential injury.<br />
<br />
anyhoo, if i ever get to the 18th week and run a marathon - it wud be a major milestone for me... plus id prolly be alot leaner (dont see too many pie eaters running marathons)

Like RedBull my fatbusting started a couple of weeks before the offiical TSF one, so the stats are: <br />
<br />
Start weight : 89 kgs<br />
Latest weight : 86 kgs<br />
Target weight: 83 kgs<br />
<br />
Height: 5'8'' (that ain't gonna change)<br />
<br />
Need to get right back into the saddle as a week in Hong Kong followed by a weekend at Singapore Sevens meant lager consumption was way up; eating of healthy (or any) food for that matter was way down and exercise was dominated by repetiive elbow bending but little calorie burning. Here I farking well come, fatbusting............. :whistle:

Don't hit the piss much anymore but when I do I find Schnitzel 😕, rice and a big glass of milk do the trick. <br />
<br />
But as Duluth says, if you're going to scoff beer you might as well make it your cheat day as well.<br />

I'm with you there mate. A piece of fried, crumbed schnitzel with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on wholemeal bread will do the trick. It obviously has some fat in it but also some healthy components and will be filling enough for the booze. A shop at the Australia Square food court (Uncles Old-time something?) used to do the best one of these sandwiches I've ever eaten. I had many of these before heading out on the town.  :nta <br />

mmmm Schnitzel.<br />
<br />
Schnitzel is great. Tastes good of course but is also pretty healthy <br />

I had a great piece of schnitzel last weekend in berlin though I doubt its fat busting properties as it was as big as my head and about half and inch thick and came with a mountain of chips, god it was good though.

Yeah, but that then fucks you up because you have to wait after turning. Isn't the best idea to turn and push off in one movement? <br />
[/quote]<br />
At the higher beeps yes, but you don't need to for the early ones. Get in front, take any breather you can. Push off from the start do the first few steps quick, then you can slow down. And slowing down is beneficial for you on the later beeps as it makes it easier to turn, you'll bugger your knee or ankle trying to do the turns at full pace.

I decided to skip results Week 2. <br />
<br />
Results week 3 will be posted tonight after I have gone for a run and had a dump. Also posted will be another MvJ pep-talk special. I assume you will all be sitting by your computers waiting for the post. <br />
<br />
That is all.

I am a self confessed sushi snob, I only get mine at the fish and chip place in the MLC Centre (you have to walk past the fried food).  They make them fresh on site each day and they are bigger than normal.<br />
<br />
The vast majority of sushi places get their rolls from the same place (a dude in China town makes most of them) so the quality is very similar.  Its all good but if you want really good stuff, go for a place that makes their own rolls or even try a sushi train.Â

MvJ is going from strength to strength  :happy: Presuming the teams do not default, MvJ is going to smoke up the field this weekend by getting to the blind side at every breakdown even if he was to drive...<br />

Just play prems mate, knowing Whanga they will probably through in the captaincy to entice you to turn out for them.
