MrHyde Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 My name is MartÃn, and I'm a very intellectually-curious, open-minded person trying to improve himself. To turn myself into the best me I can be, if you will. For the past decade or so I've been practicing a very unhealthy sport: Olympic sedentarism. However, at the end of 2009, following some rather hard personal problems I decided I really needed to invest in my health. And for about 6-9 months I did; managing to drop most of my excess weight and change my eating habits. That was quickly followed by period of life-gets-in-the-way which caused me to gain a big chunk of it back. But on September (2010), I had an even deeper change in priorities, effectively ranking my health and fitness as priority #1, no excuses. That singular change in priorities had far more ramifications in real life than I had anticipated, essentially changing in someway just about every aspect of my life. Recently (2-3 months), I found myself flaking in just about every goalset I have which combined with a mild case of achilles tendonitis kind of drew me into a corner I don't want to be in (heck, I've barely done some easy runs in the past 3-4 weeks). As for why I'm flaking just now, I won't get into as that would turn this already long-ish introduction into a very big wall of text. Today I decided to join this forum in the hopes of finding like-minded people I can talk to, as a way to keep me interested in fitness, to make myself keep trying new things, and perhaps even to make a few real friends. Cheers, MartÃn. Quote Link to comment
