TheOrange 0 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 How has the weather been then Mamabear? Too cold or something? Now putting off here, I'm back into it and actually enjoying. I need to make the most of that while it lasts. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Less about the cold and more about the wet, Orange. Heavy rains in Perth fairly regularly - and it seems to coincide with every available time I have to ride my bike or do laundry! LOL Murphy at his best! It is not pleasant to ride in the rain, and I am not committed enough to do that. I tweaked my neck last weekend, nothing major, just feels like I slept on it wrong - so I bailed on my 6am kickboxing this morning. The mega rain at the time may also have influenced my decision Next week I am going to commit to a bumper week. We have lots of functions and wind ups and end of season things this week/weekend. But next week will be more settled. Commit Commit Commit! Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ah wet is no good. I don't go out when it's raining, I don't like the idea. Tonight is a big nomikai drinking party, so no exercise nonsense tonight! (And possibly tomorrow!) Link to post Share on other sites

HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Here you go folks this is what you need: Couple put 70 years of wedded bliss down to... a weekly glass of CABBAGE WATER Len, 93 and Irene Brown, 91 who met in their early teens have revealed cabbage water as the key ingredient in their 70 year marriage. After decades of enjoying the beverage - made from water left from boiling the green vegetable - they will be celebrating their remarkable platinum wedding anniversary. -- Batty!

muikabochi 208 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Did 22km last night. First 2 was me going out and coming back to put some long sleeves on -- it was borderline chilly out there! No complaints about that. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I went out for a 'walk' last night. Tried a bit of 'jogging', embarrassed myself hugely and reverted to walk. I think I need a bike. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I confine all mine to back roads in the country here, hardly anyone gets to see me. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Muika is your route up and down hills or is it generally a flat route? I often do a 20km ride but for me its all flat....my tubbiness could do with a few challenging hills to cycle up! @Tokyo, keep it up...it does get easier. before I came out to Japan I used to jog a few nights a week (I managed to come here less tubby than I am now) and every time I went out I'd jog a little bit further. What I found myself doing when I first started was running at the pace I felt I used to be able to do as a kid/teenager and that didn't last!! I had to run slower at first so that I could finish the course. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Oops missed this sorry. Generally flat or gentle ups and downs. Nothing difficult. I do have a few routes that offer a bit more of a challenge should I feel like it but I generally stick to the main ones and just try to keep going fast! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Got some new running shoes on Thursday, and already feeling a lot more capable of running without pain. I don't want to go too fast and stuff it up, but it is looking good!! I switched the Brooks Ariel - which were aggressive anti-pronation shoes for Brooks Glycerin 9 - which are flat base (but I use my orthotics to stop the roll inwards), and have a gel in the base that cushions incredibly well.
