i just joined after completing my first run last night. a measly 2 miles. i can't believe i used to run 3 miles immediately before going to 2 hours of wrestling practice.
i joined the mac team!

I thought it started tomorrow monday. Damn! Didn't plan to run today. Guess I'll waste the chance to start doing miles today :o(

- I asked him to identify himself here, if he doesn't do so in the next days we can probably remove himMeeklo
- if anyone feels like this should be done, of courseMeeklo

CMYK vs RGB
Over 30 vs Under 30
Guys Vs Jaline
Wireless MouseERS vs Wired MousERSetc

mattiaBK — "Knowing you, you'll be just fine!"
Nah... not this time. Honestly. I gained a little weight and I am not motivated at all. Also I woke up this morning with a little cold. Not a big deal bu it's something.
What will kill me from now on is that my gym replaced the treadmills and so now we have a 30 min limit and then they kick you out of the area. I can't do the 8, 9, 10 km runs i as used to doing. :o(
I'll be going 4-5 km at a time from now on.

vector: I don't remember a single challenge where you started without talking yourself down.. and then probably beat everyone on the race, so forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical about your comments :)
- VectorMasked0
I know I know. I'm very very negative (or realistic).
But this time I do have that issue of the treadmills. Very very annoying.
Some people at the gym have complained because one should be able to stay in the treadmill longer if nobody is waiting and stuff. And I am not much of an outdoor runner. It's boring.- ok, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but you better not win this one then ;)Meeklo
- haha lawl.
oh I'll try! you can count on that!

What happened with flutter?

- I'm here! I didn't know it started back. Just joined today. Have some catching up to do.flutter

the race is on! i better run some day this week. :-)
- VectorMasked0
yay! Just tried to do my first run in 30 days.
Weather was nice for the first time this year, clear skies 10 degrees... and so I had to go out. Struggled a lot and just did 4km but feels so good now. Very tired but very awake :o)
Sadly I am now coughing a lot. Hope it doesn't get worse. Have a lot of stuff to do at work this week.

Ran both saturday and sunday, but left my shoes with
my Nike+ at the gym :/
ah well, doesn't matter. It felt good to run again outside and finally step away the eliptical/stationery bike I have grown accustomed to over this brutal winter!It was 30 degrees here with 20+ mile per hour winds on Sunday and I was wearing shorts. I got a lot of weird looks haha!
Let the games begin!
- mattiaBK0
It's true, Vector, you have always said "This time I'm not in the mood, my shoe laces are not tight enough, my shirt doesn't match my shorts, busy at work, blah, blah, blah. You know you are coming up with excuses because you are afraid of me, now that I'm back... ;-)
You and everyone else should be afraid! VEEERRRRYYY AFRAID! I feel great! I've been able to run without pain for more than a month now, and I just want to keep on going. Run Forrest, RUN!!
Hey Vector, tell the GYM managers to shove it! Unless you have two treadmills there, it is totally unfair!

it's cool. I mean it certainly is annoying not being able to use the machines for an extended period of time like before when nobody was around. kinda silly.
Anyway... I think I am gonna try to push myself to run outdoors now. It's way harder and I am not used to that. Will do an average of 4-5km every time this way. Not enough to win, but certainly enough to start getting in shape and be in the top 5. Yesterday I tried because of the weather and muscles hurt now. But feels so good. Today is also a lil sunny (not common over here) and it's 10 degrees celcius. Very nice. Will try later tonite and take advantage of this weather :o)
PS. My cute rubber duck is nowhere to be found. I'll lose this challenge for sure coz of this ;o)
- VectorMasked0
oh... and the constructions of a stadium and a convention centre are almost complete. They are around my outdoor route... so it'd be nice to explore a little that area...
all these right on the water :o)

I been having a bit of pain in the back area of my ankle (not sure if that is a specific name for that area, but were the tendons are) I stopped running for about 9-12 days and it went away, anyone had something similar before? is there a specific stretch to prevent that from happening again?
- PPirate0
Bit late, but thought I would have a go.
- mattiaBK0
If this is the area that have been hurting I highly suggest you don't underestimate the problem.
I had tendinitis on my Achilles Tendon, and it took me out of the game for more then 7 months! And all because I thought I was just running too much. Most important thing you have to do is stretch, stretch, and more stretch. Also ice it every time you are done. Take an ice cube and ice the area for about 10 minutes (use more then one ice cube ;-) )
Here's some exercise I do.
- The last exercise you need to alternate heels, one down, the other up, and so on.mattiaBK
- thank you!
