So what next...

[Blank_Dave]

So this summer, I've gotten back to running. I've done a 5k, 10k, and today I did a half marathon. I won't lie, my thighs are aching.




It was a rather miserable day; dull damp and cold, so that wasn't terribly motivating. Plus I made a number of mistakes. Starting in three middle of the pack, where I should have been at the back. It also mentioned I went out too aggressively, and paid for it in the back half. I also overdressed, and started overheating around the 6k mark. Had to strip off my jacket and leave it at an aid station.




Oh well, 2:29 for a 45 year old 220lb'er isn't bad for the first time out.

Stand proud dude. Not many would even consider running a 2 k marathon.

Congrats.

 

[What A Wookie]

Congrats. A definite accomplishment.

 

[cmcv]

Well done and congratulations.

 

[ERecTile]

Way to go!

 

[papasmerf]

Impressed

 

[cristycurves]

Congrats on your accomplishment, running is great therapy :YMAPPLAUSE:

 

[Blank_Dave]

The question remains though....What next?

I'm inclined to look into changing my lifting regime to try to bring my weight down. Though I have a funny feeling I'm not eating enough, as counter intuitive as that sounds.

Oh, as for DOMS from yesterday, all I'm feeling is some tightness in my good knee and my neck.

 

[What A Wookie]

How about obstacle races? Spartan or Tough Mudder.

:great: :great:

ps. If you are feeling pain in your knees, you better slow down. Perhaps try swimming or biking which put less pressure on your knees.

 

[User-E]

Good for you Dave! :YMAPPLAUSE:

Dave, it's time to get the old wiener wet. You deserve it.

 

[Anonymous69]

For a 220 pounder you exceeded my own expectations.

Dave, it's time to get the old wiener wet. You deserve it.

I would have to agree with you there. Steve Kamp, of Nerd Fitness, believes one should reward themselves after "winning a boss fight". (Think video games here) And I quite sure this counts. :biggrin2:

Mind you, I have sex like Usain Bolt runs the 100m, we're both done in under 10 seconds. Plus, I'm not seeing anyone I'm terribly interested in.

 

[peace]

10 seconds? Thats definitely way too short. Try more of foreplaying and aim for 11 seconds. :biggrin2:

Dave, I find it hard to believe with all the intelligent and gorgeous women in the TO areas that you can't find someone you're interested in, reach out, and have some fun

You beat be on that Dave, I run the 50 in much less than that.

 

[Al Bumin]

Dave, I found your future running partner.

A little bit of both. I believe a good part of it is anxiety. Going to my last appointment, I could feel my heart thundering the whole way there. And not in the good way.

Well, it's more the matter of everything lining up. When I was first getting into things, I was advised to see mature ladies. Let's face it, the average age of local companions are early 20s. Plus, I've found I've had a better time with the mature crowd. Then there's the matter of their and my schedules matching up.

Maybe I'm too fussy.:sorry:
