Blimey, well if that's how you see me I think I must be committing some sort of terrible fraud on this site. No, I'm a typical mid-life-crisis case, former smoker, battling against a hopeless cake addiction.

You run hilly marathons, you exercise EVERY DAY, sometimes multiple times a day, and you can do pull ups and hand stands. If that isn't a mega-fitness machine, I don't know what is. Also, I am addicted to cake too. Are there support groups for people like us? 1 Quote HermioneCrusher: Level 4 Human Witch Scout Current Challenge: HermioneCrusher conjures new food Previous Challenges: 4 3 2 1 STR 5 | DEX 7 | STA 12 | CON 4 | WIS 7 | CHA 4 Link to post
18ck Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Cakeaholics Anom-nom-nomimous? As for the exercising every day, that seems to be working, yeah. If I only workout on some days it's easy to put it off until another day and then another and then... But yeah, I like that mega fitness machine. I might just get it on a t-shirt or something (I've despaired of ever getting that guild leader shirt... Sigh...) 2 Quote Level 20 Ferret Demon Scout STR 43 | DEX 21 | STA 49 | CON 30 | WIS 45 | CHA 21 Challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 Instagram | Wordpress | Twitter | Linkedin | Goodreads | Facebook: *spits* I despise facebook!

18ck Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 So today was supposedly a long run but I had a tweaky foot. I think it happened yesterday when I was running in the dark and stumbled awkwardly on a raised manhole cover. It felt like something you shouldn't run on so I stopped about a mile in and walked back to my bike. Plenty of good solid Portuguese done, though, and I have read the Observer, The Week, and listened to about 6 podcast episodes dealing with home and international politics. Sadly, I have eaten badly, and I'm staying for two nights in a hotel for work so that's likely or be the same tomorrow. Also, no workout clothes so my options are limited. Naked carpet-pilates, or the hotel room workout, or.... Um.... Jogging in my work clothes and just going to work smelly. Votes please, scouts.

I had some a while ago and was very happy with them but then they decided to make all their trainers ugly as crap so I couldn't bring myself to wear them. Now they are nice again. I like that they're stable. A lot of other shoes I've tried seem to have a tendency to tilt if I step on something and I occasionally feel like I'm in danger of turning my ankle over. I don't get that with these. They feel incredibly light too. I am still in the tiptoe-round-puddles stage with them but they'll get their baptism soon enough.

bgvanbur Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks for rolling over camera! I was shoe shopping a few years ago and the running shoes with the perfect fit were the ugliest one in the store. I sucked it up and bought them despite their ugliness and they outlasted the next three pair of shoes and are still in use multiple times a week (they are close to being scrapped though). Always nice to get good fitting shoes that look nice too! Quote Level 26, Primal Ultra Trail Scout, Non-Binary Robot Link to post
