Today I swim, hopefully I'll do 2000 meters now, since I've been stuck the last couple of times in 1500-1550 meters.

Running 80% of the time, speed walking the rest. =D

OK, let's do some math here.


What we've been told is that you covered 1.2 miles in 30 min. Also, 80% of the time (24 min) was running, and 20% of the time (6 min) was speed walking.

Let us assume that the minimal acceptable speed for "speed walking" is 3 mph. If we denote your walking distance with D_w, then we have

D_w > 3mph x 6/60 hrs = .3 miles.

Now, if D_r is your is your running distance, we have

D_w + D_r = 1.2, which implies

D_r = 1.2 - D_w < .9 miles.

Since your time running was 24 min, we deduce the following about R_r (the average rate at which you ran)

R_r = D_r/(24/60 hrs) < .9/(.4). Hence,

R_r < 2.25 mph


Perhaps it's time to lay off the smokes?
 
^this is why I thought GM crawled. You can do better than that dude!

I can run >3 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill.
I am not a runner but I am an ex-smoker.

Binge, what's the math on that? ;)

I actually only ended up being on the treadmill for like 17 minutes. I'm not sure what speed that is multiplied by pi and put through Pythagorean theorem, but it was enough of a workout for me. ;)

WTF. My normal walking is 3 miles per hour.

Anyway, I finally decided to go to the gym, and I played racquetball. After a long layoff, my shot was a it off, and in my first game I was up 4-0 on a good player, but then was not able to get the proper angle on a very tough serve. As a result, I accidentally hit a screaming line drive right at my opponent. He turned around to see where I was hitting it (Not a good idea in racquetball), and it drilled him right in the goggles, cutting his face. OOPS.

Without the goggles he possibly loses an eye.
 
3 mile run, pull ups, rode bike about 5 miles to the bookstore, probably sit ups later.
 
ahh man I did parkour for the first time yesterday and my thigh muscles are tore up from that!
I am having trouble just walking up and down stairs. Down stairs are the hardest.
 
i had a moment of pure spiritual enlightenment last week.

i have just gotten back from an expedition into the jungles of central america. i went in with 0 technology, just a backpack, a pair of shorts, herbal medicines, and my kung fu skills.

we had some jungle guides who were extremely skilled in the arts of ayurvedic and chinese medicine, also horticulturalist/herbalist specialists who knew the jungle well. i merely contributed my iron will power and hellenic endurance, as well as fervor for learning and exploring. I did this barefoot and shirtless, as I aimed to harden my skin against the brutal jungle's chemical warfares.

by the third day, we came upon a small river that emptied into the Caribbean sea. I decided to practice my kung fu forms while our group took a relaxing mudbath.

I wandered away form the group, and surrounded myself with countless lush plants, millions of insects, hundreds of howler monkeys, and several cayman. I reached a new level with breathing technique, and for moments, I was not inside my body. Ive never felt something this powerful not on drugs before. Ive done DMT and every powerful psychedelic underneath, and ive had hundreds of psychedelic experiences before. This was different, but just as mind opening.

My body was just repeating a form as I maintained deep rhythmic breathing. I no longer was conscious of the sweat dripping from my face, the thorns in my feet, or the extreme temperature and humidity that sheathed my skin. I was somewhere else. As I came through a series of elbow strikes in one of my forms, I cracked my elbow into my hand faster, harder, and stronger than I ever have before. An earth shattering sound erupted from my skin, and the howler monkeys silenced themselves for a moment. The caymans dove into the water and quickly swam away. The toucans and other exotic birds took flight through the trees.

In this moment, all the animal world understood what theyve known for 200,000 years. They came to understand that the hairless ape is the true kind of the jungle. I felt their reverence and absorbed their energy. I became monkey, i became serpent, I became bird, I became insect. I became all living things around me. I became the king of the jungle.

Then i nearly shit my pants with wide eyed epiphony, and calmly walked back to the mud-bathers and stated that I had a nice workout.

brilliant!
 
2 days ago, ran 3 miles in 30 minutes.
yesterday, 25 situps x 7, 10 pushups x 7, 25 flutter kicks x2.
today i'ma try to go out and run again, although i'm not sure yet if i'll try to improve my time @2-3 miles, or push the distance up to 4-5 miles and then work on improving speed.

i'm way out of shape and feel pretty pathetic about this, but you gotta work up from somewhere after not doing anything for 4-6+ months. :|
 
-2.6 miles of hill running
-33x2 + 34x1 crunches
-25 raised leg push ups (an astounding feat for my weakling upper-body!)
-20 tricep dip things
-25 pull ups
 
today is my rest day, yesturday i was bench pressing, started with my max 100lbs, and did 3 sets of that, and kept lowering the weight every three sets
until my arms were couldnt even do 5 reps of 20bench

inbetween every set i would do about 100 cruches, well until i nearly couldnt anymore each time, first i started with no weight, on my chest, then worked my way up to 30 pounds, that's the most i could do 100 for i went up to 45 pounds, but i could only do 35 reps of that by the end of the night, and i dont know how effective they were due to balancing issues, also did some plank excersie, and a little bit of the abdonminal bycycle kick, but stoped because my shoulders were to fatigued

at this point i took my bench press bar, and did bicep curls and shoulder presses, 50pds total , my arms were really tired by this point and i dont usually use a bar for bicep curl or military press

after 3 sets of theese (at this point my arms were so tired i could only do about 5 reps each set with this weight) i switched to my 2 pound dumbells, and did hammer curls, then shoulder presses, then i tricep excersies, until i couldnt do more 2 with each arm

at this point i switch to 5 pound weights and just toned and toned, until my arms hurt to much

then i did some pushups against the counter, with different shoulder lenths, until i just coulnt hold myself up anymore

i havent slept yet, i did this from 10pm-2am last night on an empty stomach,
im not that sore yet today,

maybe tomoro
i know the amount of weights im usuing is pretty low, but, ive never been in shape and always give up on working out,
but my new years resolution is to take things seriously, and since ive got my bench up 30 pounds in the past month, i hope more good is to come,
