Damn, that's impressive. I've never run more than 9 miles, so even a half-marathon would be pushing it for me-- here I was, thinking I was in good shape! :o


PS. Ran to JHU and did the stadium steps, in a massive downpour... 3 miles total. Splashed through the puddles with a shit-eating grin on my face while poor commuters looked on with blank expressions from their vehicles :D

Yes!! I've done that many times. Running in the rain is awesome! <3
Although the last time I did it, it was absolutely POURING, like almost difficult to run through, which I loved! But then lightning started to come cracking down all around me and I was like "Hmmmm maybe it's not the best idea to be out here right now...." and headed home.
 
@n3o-- good luck! I'm still mulling doing a half marathon this year, but a lot of things (some of which are beyond my control) will have to fall into place for that to happen.

@L2R-- Thanks! I still need to work a bit on my alignment for headstands, but I really see how they can get addictive.

Today's practice peaked with handstand and forearm stand. Was able to get up into both, but forearm stand will take a lot more work (despite being a lot more stable) before it 'makes sense' to me. I could hang out in handstand all day though; I love that inversion!

Thanks mate!!

Yep I hear ya, I had been planning to do a half marathon for like 3 years before the planets aligned and everything was just right for me to actually do one :D
And even since competing in my first half mara, I have planned to enter 2 others, which have both fallen through for various reasons.
So sometimes it really just doesn't work out :D

I hope you get to do one this year though man, it's the best accomplishment!!
 
Today: Thumb exercise with my new Jet's lighter and graffix bong
Tomorrow: Cardio - 50 mins running uphill
Tuesday: Back, Bi's, abs, and hams
 
I've recently discovered the joys of running high, and I can say I'm a fan.
 
shot some hoops yesterday, trying to work this cold type thingy out of me.
 
To me Fitness and health allow me to do the things that are occasionally not good for me and still maintain a healthy state. The cons of bong hits and beer are obvious, but they aren't so bad when the rest of you is in tip top shape.
 
3 mile jog around 6:00 this morning.

Coming back to the house I did bodyweight excercises as I didn't feel like going to the gym today.

3 Set of each.

15 underhanded and overhand pullups.

100 Pushups with close handed grip, and wide grips.

150 situps.

100 bodyweight squats.


Not a bad way to start the day.

sounds like my workouts... except, I typically run around noon. I applaud you for running at 6am :D
 
2.5km of Hill Sprints at a local park. Not very far but we go at 100% till near puking then rest until heart rate drops back to 150 and go again. Takes about 25min or so normally. Today was longer since the rocks/steps were slippery in the rain.

Finish at a park with Pull-Up Bars. 2 ladders of strict form pull-ups 1-5 (30 reps total) and 2 ladders of Chin-Ups (2,4,6,8,10) for 60 reps total.
 
^^how did it go?

45 min Pilates...at home

The woman who walking in ahead of me at the gym got the last of the 50 spinning stamps.
I could have breezed past her in the parking lot without looking retarded but I thought what is the rush? There was 7 minutes before class and I have never had an issue.

ran the back way, through the woods and fields, up a step hill, maybe 1 miles to JHU, did each side of the steps x2, then ran back to the apartment. Landlord was outside my door, so I ran around the block and while he was distracted on my return run, I ran into the door.

Maybe 5 miles of mostly hills/stairs total. Feels good man.
 
i won first place in the adult advanced sparring division at a tournament in the bronx.

no one showed up for my division, adult intermediate sparring, so the tournament host invited me up to advanced. i dont think they expected me to win. the guy i beat for first place, his teacher walked up to him and socked him in the stomach lol. plus i was the only kung fu fighter against all karate fighters as usual, to add salt to the wound. even better, the guy asked for a no-armor/gear match, so all i wore was a mouthguard and fought bare knuckled lol (i think that was intended to intimidate me? no idea, but it wasnt a good one).

kung fu is said to be "soft," lol...

and now after weeks of training, its time to binge on doughnuts and woopie pies!
