Lizifer Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 No, really. He's kinda my hero: helpful and relaxed. The story: Late 30s (when did that happen?), geek adjacent, Whedon fangirl. This happened:"Why are you working out? You're in great shape already!" "No, my shape is good. That's not the same thing at all." I wanna be GI Jane, if she were Tank Girl, when I grow up. My partner took me bouldering once, and I fell in love. But I couldn't do it 'cos my strength was for bupkis. I wanna be able to do that. I wanna do a Spartan Beast without actually being worried I might die. I wanna show my friends that if *I* can do it - a former 2-pack-a-day smoker for 23 (!!) years keyboard warrior who's never exercised - can become the kind of dame who can slay the Spartan... Seriously: anyone can. Besides: the first rule of Zombieland is cardio. No brainmunchers are gonna take me out 'cos I can't out run them. And I'm so, so excited to have found this place. the power of [geekhood] compels me: "Oh, I'm gonna hit you so hard, your children will be born bruised!" -- Tank Girl "Do you know what the definition of a hero is?

EightDigit Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I hear you on all counts. I just quit smoking (nicotine free for a month after 22 years) and I'm training for a Tough Mudder event in Sept. I'm not only going to run it, I'm going to kick its ass.Welcome!

That looks SO WEIRD."The Mudder here was in May - there's one in April that I might shoot for too ^__^ the power of [geekhood] compels me: "Oh, I'm gonna hit you so hard, your children will be born bruised!" -- Tank Girl "Do you know what the definition of a hero is?

Lizifer Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ha! My Ranger Danger comes from Burning Man - he kinda kicked off a whole subset of burn-y folks who like to be helpful. But then, there's also Aragon, who is, of course, amazeballs. So I wanna be a combo of the two of them, but with a killer rack. awesome job on kicking the habit!!! and as long as you keep at it you know you will slay the Spartan \m/and I have to laugh at the Ranger Danger thing, he used to host the kids hour on tv every afternoon; so in between the Anamaniacs and Batman the Animated Series we were treated with this hahaha; the power of [geekhood] compels me: "Oh, I'm gonna hit you so hard, your children will be born bruised!" -- Tank Girl "Do you know what the definition of a hero is?
