[ACMESkydiver 0]

YIPPEE!!!

I love endorphins.

I NEVER, EVER in my life thought I would hear myself say, "Damn that run felt good."

I can't wait for tomorrow, I'm gonna do it again.

I can hardly move. I spent Saturday and Sunday digging a trench and installing a French Drain. Oh, yeah, I became familiar with "hardpan soil," which here in Fresno is like digging through fucking cement. You know soil is hard when the pick axe throws off sparks at contact. I did an online search and learned that the initial farmers couldn't dig through it, so they bored holes and dynamited the stuff to loosen it. My neighbor told me that the most common tool to go through it is a freaking jackhammer. But, at least I got one side of the house done.

I'd like to get some excercise, but doing so does require movement, which hurts too much.

I can't run...seriously. I lose my balance without warning.

But, I did go for a walk today with my pal Sean. He's my 3 year old nephew.

Hooray! I only completed 1.8 miles, and it was on the '60 second run, 90 second walk' pace with 5 minutes warm up prior and 5 minutes cool down after.

I WANT to run faster, but I could feel my heart was at it's limit for now. My heart rate is ridiculously high, so I have to obey the ticker and make nice-nice until it can catch up to what I wanna do. -That way SeaKev won't have to call the locals to come get me with the cool red truck that has those pretty flashy lights and the zappy thing!!

It's true...after years of 'Do or Die', 'All or Nothing', 'Pain is Your Friend' (or laying around doing nothing)...I have FINALLY learned what 'moderation' means in health.

I'm just feeling the cabin fever from being so flippin' inactive recently. Sorry to rain on your running parade.

I've actually tried the cool running program before and it was a great way to work into things! The thing that I loved most about that program was how easy it was to get into! I never faced discouragement from not being able to keep up with it.

Good luck with things! Stick to it!

Oh.. and no pool for a while longer.. gots to wait for the big scar to heal up a bit more.

Well perhaps when you're done with your manual labor you can join us.

I used to be able to run like a deer. I could do 30 kilometers with a full combat load in under four hours. Then I started aging.

I can't do that stuff anymore. I'd like to go back to that - to the way I was when I was young - so long as exercising or being respectable was not a condition of it.

In my post hoc reasoning, the only difference between exercise and bulimia is that it tastes good at least once with bulimia, sometimes twice, but both limit useable calories.

Tonight, however, I will hoist a beer to your accomplishments, and with a toast to you I shall say, "Better you than me!"

I just had to quote it...

Now that I'm old, I've sunk into bicycling. I like it, and it doesn't hurt my knees. :)

I am getting ready to do mine... week #1, day #2. Just put the kiddo to bed (silly cold) and put the chili I cooked in containers and in the freezer.

Bicycles are my example of everything wrong with the exercise phenomenon. Kids ride bicycles and progress to motorcycles and cars when they are older and more mature. How cool was Pee Wee Herman? Despite the fact that his bike had it all, it was still, well, a bike! Thus, Pee Wee (and his bike) were uncool, and only made cool when the it was motorized and Pee Wee was played by James Brolin.

Besides being childish, how much dignity can a person have when riding a bicycle? Yes, even Lance Armstong looks like he's struggling to master the art of auto-fellatio when he is riding one. Such a thing should only be done in private, and we know bicyclists cannot do that, for anyone that could would never leave the privacy of his own home.

But the worst thing about bicycles is that they are good exercise. They are anti-evolution - the creature of the neo-Luddites among us.

How many thousands or millions of years have we spent trying to avoid physical exertion? It was tough making holes in the ground to plant food, so we invented tools like shovels and picks. When we realized that it required too much efforts, we tamed the oxen and horses to plow our fields. We then realized that they were a bummer to feed and they smell bad. So the steam engine was invented. But it took immigrants to stoek the coal in the fires, and we didn't want immigrants, so the internal combustion engine was invented. We've even got electric carts to use while shopping. All advancements to make our lives easier.

Look at all of the evolution and advancement that has gone into the effortlessness of operating a Chevy Suburban? Should we dishonor the sacrifices of those who had the foresight to make our lives so comfortable? Should we say, "The cro-magnons had it right! Sure, they were hungry and dirty, but they had awesome six pack abs?"

I say that the answer to that is a resounding "No!!!" We have spent so much of our energy in the quest for speed and sleekness. In the words of blues man and noted fatty Willie Dixon, "I'm not built for speed, I'm built for comfort."

Funny isn't it! When I first joined the Army I went to The Netherlands and did a 100 mile ruck march in 4 days. Well fast forward 5 years, shrink 2 inches and suddenly its hard to complete 25 miles under combat load in 10hours.
Don't you hate that shit

But I have not and never will let a Private out DO me!

Bicycling rocks (despite what lawrocket's essay says). I don't get to do it much, but it rocks!

Ok I did mine. I don't know that comparing distance will work here. We are all at different levels and have different obstacles to overcome.

I did my jogging at between 4.5 and 4.7 mph, which is good for me. I am short and have both knee and foot issues. So this was good for me. I feel good! Yay us!

No. To do so smacks of effort.
