Is everyone ready for their gyms to be loaded with new people in the next few days?

"New year new me", says they.

Sucks, but I take comfort in the fact that like 70% flake out till next year in the first 3 weeks

Black and white thinking

Obesity is partially a choice and it partially isn’t. The “isn’t” part is your shitty genetics with your abnormally-always-high ghrelin hormone and your genetically-withered dead thyroid or whatever. Or the fact that you have no free time to work out. Or you had a spine injury 8 years ago and now every movement is pain. That’s not a choice


But the rest is a choice. And for most people, the choice part far outweighs the non-choice part. If there’s dudes living in 3rd world slums exposed to absurd amounts of pollution causing them 50 different health problems from birth, who still crawl or whatever their way to their job burning tires for 10 cents a day…then you can work out with your health problems and shitty genetics. The human body can adapt to quite a lot

And it is technically do or die, just on a longer timeline

I would hope someone would point out the irony if I do eventually have a heart attack and die from pushing too hard at something that is supposed to prolong my life

Oh helll yea he did Jeff Goldblum was playing Jeff Goldblum. I think he might have even snuck the line in one of the JP sequels but those were terrible

To the park, 7 laps around, and back. Didn’t runkeeper it but shoulda been about 8ish miles. The fireworks exploding in the sky with my music blasting and high on weed was pretty magical, but the smog was pretty fuckin nasty

Although the gunpowdery smell reminded me of jet skiing on the lake with my dad. Interesting how olfactory is so strongly tied to memory

I volunteered to work tomorrow (time and a half pay) so that’s my excuse to not get shithoused

Wanted to go further tonight, but have been getting stalled out by neuroma pain on right toes that I tend to get past 5+ mi of varying intensity and none of the tricks like certain strips/supports/spacers/diff shoes seems to have helped. And unlike joint pain, blisters/skin pain, or muscle pain/soreness, I can’t really abstract and ignore nerve pain. It can build super fast to have to stop because toes are on fire

And the race looms…

Oh well if it sucks it’ll be a reason to figure it out and do another asap

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Wondering if I can sue Panda Express for slander for this

You calling me weak bro??? I’ll fight your staff

hey Nope4 have you looked up under/over-pronation ? Sounds like the way your feet are landing on each running step isn't great and there's shoes out there that can help with it.

You might have flat feet too (collapsed foot arches) which is more common as you get older and might be a cause.

I do have two flat feet. I’ve known for a long time that a flat step is supposed to be the ideal for distance runners (not sure about sprinters). Now whether I do well it is tough to know because I don’t have a running coach to analyze my stride

But I’ll definitely look into this! Unfortunately the race is only a week away now and I haven’t really been able to train due to prioritizing recent dating life on my off days [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
