I HATE running, dude. I never could get into it. I've been a cross counytry skiier since an early age (though I haven't done much lately), I've been mountain biker of varying degrees of seriousness all my life and a avid hobbyist road biker lately, and I've played a lot of soccer and ultimate frisbee in my day, too, but whenever I tried to get/stay in shape by running, it'd last about a week and then I'd start missing days and then next thing you knew three weeks had gone by and I hadn't gone running.

Biking, meanwhile, I fucking love. It's something I really enjoy doing, so I'm way more inclined to go out and do it. I don't enjoy running, so I have a much harder time making myself do it. It's a no-brainer for me.

203.8 today

- and now i wear my belt on the 2nd notch, odd.. :P

i had a ridiculosu 10 oclock break snack though.. large slushee, can of sprite, a donut, and a twix bar.

i had a damn small breakfast tho lol (bagelwhich and a granola bar and milk).

i think i'll attempt jogging next week, on top of hopefully going to the gym.

and today i've done 100 crunches, which is the most i've ever done. did 'em in about 10 minutes too, 4 sets of 25. and then i did aroudn 10-15 just now for kicks, because i figured i could do some more.

gym time in a week and a half! gotta learn how to cook too.. good thing i have a recipe book now!

I went for a 1.5 mile jog on Friday after work and just about puked half way into it. I forgot how much I dislike running on pavement. Two days later now I'm starting to feel the effects of it on my legs. I did play some volleyball Saturday on slightly wet grass which made traction a bit difficult and had a few near splits. I'm thinking that may be playing some part in my pain right now.

I hope to work up to 3 miles a day but it's not going happen overnight. 3 miles on a treadmill certainly seems easier than on a street.

Crossfit Day 3

Report: Damn near puked. (Again).

YYZ, running on concrete sucks major ass. I avoid it as much as possible, but I would go on concrete before a treadmill. Try to find a nice park trail

He's a Yankees fan, though. He has to avoid dark, secluded places like trails through parks just so no one jumps him and kicks his ass.

Very true.

I was thinking about going down to local high school track but I'm probably not safe there either.

budda · 08-25-2008, 04:40 PM

I'm all about the treadmill myself.

does kinda hurt the knees after a while though
