I've genuinely spent the last hour listening to the LotR soundtrack and re-organizing my Harry Potter merchandise. I love my life.
-
I've been a die hard Potterhead and historical fiction/fantasy nerd for years but I'm only just getting around to reading the LotR trilogy+The Hobbit + The Silmarillion and all 7 of the A Song of Ice and Fire books. I've in the middle of a book called Roma Victrix which is the sequel to a book called Gladiatrix by Russell Whitfield. I have a huge pile of books in my room (that is the same size as my 'already read' pile) that I have bought but have yet to read. I'm looking forward to reading all of these books! I think nerd is an understatement when it comes to me and reading.

Just bought all my stuff for my hiking/camping trip this weekend. So.Much.Chocolate.And.Noodles.

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I had a packet of crisps. I used to have at least 1 everyday, and I don't even want them anymore. Maybe next challenge, I should try not eating any chocolate...

I impatiently await the day until I can go out running in a sports bra and shorts without people recoiling in horror at the fat flying everywhere.
-
You and me both :-(

Ok, week 1 of 9 of my training time for my first 5k. I'm ready, I run at the speed of a snail and I'm still in the run/walk stage but goddamnit I will do this even if it kills me. I will not stop until I collapse, puke or die.

Itty bitty shorts? Get an anti chafing stick too! Ouch!

I'll use Vaseline haha!

I use Gold Bond chafing defense, Monistat chafing relief powder gel, and Carmex everyday hydrating lotion. Never fails!

Oh god, first exam of the year today *bites nails nervously*

Why do you run? / What do you run for?
ModernSpartacus replied to Unos's topic in Running, Swimming, Biking, Walking, Hiking
I began to run because I needed to do cardio to lose weight, I continue to do it for that reason, but also because I love it and relish the challenge. Plus I have a race to train for. -

Don't blink. Whatever you do, do not blink. -
I've looked into Buddhism, along with many other modern and ancient religions, but I'd love to learn more.

I started running (if you can call it that) last week. It was more of a painful shuffle towards the end but nonetheless, I enjoyed it. I'm hopefully doing a 5k race in 9 weeks, and I was wondering what you guys did when training for your first race and also, how long can you guys run without stopping because I'm aiming for 30-35 mins in 9 weeks, my running partner is doing marathons and whatnot, I'd rather not be left behind, crawling.
-
Ok new plan. I may have just found a new running partner who is going to run the same 5k as me, so instead of doing the run next year, I have 9 weeks to train up. Should be fun
-
go for it!

Ok new plan. I may have just found a new running partner who is going to run the same 5k as me, so instead of doing the run next year, I have 3-5 months to train up. Should be fun!

Ok, I have a year to go from being able to run for 2 minutes before stopping, to running 5k/10k before stopping. I'm going to enter the Cancer Research RFL next year as this years one is only 2 months away and I need more time, plus I'm not old enough yet.

I still have some fat to lose, but my muscles underneath all the fat makes me look even fatter. What do you think I should do?
-
I used to eat around 2500 calories of junk a day, started dieting, cut down to 1200 a day but I've upped it to at least 1700-1800 a day + 30 mins exercise 5 x a week as I'm still under 21 and growing and I felt so shit when I ate less than 1500.

I'm loving Ghost Love Score by Nightwish, War of the Gods by Amon Amarth and Burn by In This Moment.
-
I have really beaten the crap out of my legs and butt the past few days, did loads of leg work in my circuit yesterday and really worked my quads in my ride today. Loving the burn!
-
I love cardio day. All in favor of a nice bike ride in the country say Ay.
-
Ni.
Or is it Nu?
-
-
Thank you! I love getting stronger!
-
Did a load of push ups in my circuit training today, I'm so much stronger than I was at the beginning of this challenge.

Just completed 2 rounds of the mens health Spartacus workout. Half way through I was making a noise between a sob and a roar. First workout in a few day, good to be back in the zone.

Does sex count as cardio?

If I could find a willing workout buddy then I'd be all for it, but like going to the gym, its not happening for me. I'm going to go do some press-ups and cry.
-
Workout buddy! I like it!
-
It certainly can be! I wish you luck in finding the perfect workout buddy.
-
Ok, 2 days of eating and sitting doing nothing. I have to get back into it. I know I suck but I just need to remount the horse as they say.
