An attempt to track the ups and downs and ins and outs of a boys attempt at, at best, becoming a semi-elite (thats at best) long distance runner

fat and heavy and slow but running

felt terribly out of shape running this morning, but put in 4 miles last night and then 8 this morning on the trails. Need to focus now on all the extras - stretching; cross training; sleep; diet; weights; plyometics; calisthenics

need to drop the extra fat I've put on quickly so my joints don't have to put up with the extra impact, and then will be able to put in more miles without the stress of carrying around my fat arse.

might even try a golds gym yoga class, or core exercise class (like pilates or something like that)... but then again i might just do a bunch of exercises while watching the first half of one footy game, and then do stretching for the second 45minutes.

Still thinking of doing the 104 mile bike ride on sunday just to get outside exercising for 6 hours or so... it'll make me not run, but then again, if I could run I'd probably prefer to be doing that... but 6 hours will kick in some serious long distance endurance advantages.

and COME ON ENGLAND

carragher should start as Neville is out.


stevie g is a legend.

just saw this:

Today independent medical experts gave their evaluation on the fitness of Wayne Rooney.

Joint Statement From Professor Angus Wallace and Professor Chris Moran

[...] We have carried out a full risk assessment related to returning him to play at this stage and that assessment has indicated that he is at no more risk than any other player who has recovered from an injury and is returning to competitive sport.

It is our professional medical opinion that Wayne Rooney is now available to play in the World Cup.

[...]

EFFING AND GEOFFING GENIUS.

GENIUS.

he might play for man u, but when he's got an england shirt on, I'll excuse him that mistake.
