I just finished another 3,5 km run in just under 17,5 minutes. My time is getting better, which means I don’t have to torture myself as much, and that’s about the only good thing about it. It also means that I don’t need as much motivation to get going 3 or 4 times a week.
While my weight dropped like very fast at first — like, “do I have bowel cancer?”-fast — now it’s dropping slow but steady, which is allaying any concerns that it may have been as a result of something other than the running and more conservative diet.
Frustratingly, as if I needed more reason to have jiu jitsu in my life…
Wohoooo, that slam was a bit nasty. Nicely done though!
Not sure if you’ve seen this yet, but I found it funny/interesting: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running
I haven’t seen that, but I read through part 1 and 2 and I feel like this guy is peeking in my mind an obscene bit.
Having read the rest now, this guy has an AWESOME attitude to not only running, but I suspect most things in life.
I think you would like a lot of his comments, actually.
Did another 3,5km today, which — I have to say — wasn’t as easy as it was yesterday. Warmer and strong, annoying side-wind. It’s possible that my muscles weren’t too keen on doing it a second day in a row, either. Oh, but they obeyed. Oh yes, they will CONTINUE to OBEY!!
