i keep forgetting about here...

my wife started the couch to 5k program. I think Im going to start it with her...

DFSniper · 03-20-2012, 09:39 PM

nice! i need to get off my ***, but have no motivation.

on the bright side, i finally did my taxes today. getting almost $800 back!

Had to google that it was a program and not a play on words.

Do it, we've talked about it before (not that program exactly) and that is how you build up. Stay with it, i'd say everyday if you can handle it. Your not running 10k so its not terribly hard on your body if thats the only exercise routine. If you incorporate other activity you could scale it back to every other day.

I finally hit a point tonight after sloshing through my jogs the past few days where i can run my 2miles non-stop jog. Albeit that its a slower pace but i'm getting excited about it again instead of dreading the agony i have come to love.

My goal is to get down to a 13-14min pace again which i haven't timed yet but its probably closer to 20min pace right now.

i'm slowly getting more active. i was pretty out of shape there for a while. Hadn't done any kind of physical activity for like 4 months due to my shoulder surgery back in october. thursday nights i play volleyball with peeps from work, and i'm hoping i can find some place to play some soccer

I wish I could be motivated enough to exercise. I want to do P90 of P90X...but I am so lazy lol

ferret15 · 03-21-2012, 01:04 PM

i'm still not sure if i want to look at p90x. seems like its fad videos.

Billy blanks anyone LOL

sparky81 · 03-21-2012, 05:19 PM

I have done the p90x and it does it fact get you into shape. I just don't have the time (motivation) to do it on a regular basis.

ferret15 · 03-21-2012, 06:23 PM

maybe i'll download it and give it a try.

Sub update, made a ring, found it was 10x easier to use a jig saw than a router to cut rings. I've got a recessed ring glued together, i'll hit the belt sander to make them even then use a round router bit to make it look professional when i lay fiberglass over it. Getting rid of as many sharp edges helps make it looks smooth.

:yawn:

g2k556 · 03-21-2012, 07:02 PM

p90x does work. i had some friends do it, the first round my friend lost 60lbs.

ferret15 · 03-21-2012, 08:41 PM

wow, 60lbs! thats pretty legit if he used p90 as his only exercise outlet. Obviously diet goes a long way but 60lbs isn't accidental in a short period of time.

Also here is the ring, turns out the belt sander i have was broken so i can't clean it up as much as i'd like, but whatever its going to be covered by fiberglass.

g2k556 · 03-21-2012, 08:46 PM

yea he did really well. he cut out pop (soda) and adjusted his diet. worked really hard at the p90x too.

my nose has been dripping literally all day. i've had to blow my nose at least every 10 minutes if not more.... either getting sick or allergies, hard to tell which. tree pollen has been high for the past 3 weeks and today is the first day i've had symptoms. and the last 3 times i've been sick, it presented like this, like allergies. so who knows, eitherway it sucks

ferret15 · 03-21-2012, 09:00 PM

i've been pretty fortunate that i've yet to have my allergies take the wheel. My brother just got an ear infection or something and my dads been messed up for about a week. I may be allergic to something else but if anything its my turn next.

I'm drinking about 3/4 gallon of black iced tea that i brew, no sugar and from tea leaves. Its the caffeine that i'm addicted to.

g2k556 · 03-21-2012, 09:12 PM

it's been years since i've been to have an allergy test. i will be getting one as soon as i can. it's so hard to tell if it is, in fact, allergies, or if I'm getting sick. they both present the same... last time i was sick started out the exact same, and i ended up being sick for over a month... december 25th to like february 12th...

ferret15 · 03-21-2012, 10:24 PM

what were you sick with! o_0

sparky81 · 03-22-2012, 10:32 AM

Wtf one minute the sun is out the next it's raining. Meh

Look pretty good.

In other news, I'm an uncle, again. Sister had her baby on Tuesday.

@ferret was just sick, head cold. started out like a typical headcold, little coughing, runny nose. then i had like a day or two break. then i came down with a bad fever, which was actually the day before I put my 2 weeks in at work lol so had to stay home from work that day. then from then until february i was coughing constantly.
