What's your argument against running today? If it's a persuasive argument, skip it. If you're just being lazy, find another priest to absolution from, sinner.Kory wrote:I'm not going today. I was going to, but now I'm not. Somebody tell me it's ok, please.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Had my running weekend. Did a 5k yesterday for a personal best time of 26:42 and had the half marathon today, coming in at 2:17:49, a few minutes faster than the time I was training for. Very pleased.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Well done! (Christ, running for 2+ hours is unfathomable.) So your night time tumble didn't do any serious harm to you.Flex wrote:Had my running weekend.

When I was running marathons a female friend of mine (who is a sub 3 hour marathon runner) said she did not know how anyone could run for more than 3 hours and that there was no way she could.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Because this is the last month of the old minimum wage, I've had fuck all money for the bus, meaning I've biked the 12 mile round trip to work the past few days. I'm going to continue even after my bank balance resettles because the exercise high has put an end to what I now realise was a years long mental slump. Not a depression necessarily, but a gloomy, small brained lack of mental energy and unengaged cheerlessness. I feel so damn present, its untrue. It feels as though someone has wiped all the gunk off my brain, leaving only what's actually me left. Coupled with a home I love, a city that's on a scale I'm more capable of dealing with than my overpowering hometown and a job I find rewarding daily despite its poor pay, I'm feeling damn good for maybe the first time in my adult life.
Another thing that's helping with my mental health is working on my green and peaceful allotment. Nature's essential too. Can't wait to eat the food I'm growing. It's a real cocktail of pleasantness right now which I'm grateful for and enjoying as it lasts.

I love the idea of allotments.

Even though when I was a Kid I would cut through the allotments and nick rhubarb on way home from playing football and get my mum to stew up and serve with custard.

No, in seriousness, I've already learnt that all who grow it want to offload as much rhubarb as possible so you don't need to feel guilty. They give us armfuls of the stuff.

Re: IMCT Running Club
That's great to hear. Physical exercise does generate its own mental cleansing. You don't always get that endorphin rush from it, but it does help clear the mind. Probably no coincidence that I do more productive thinking while working out than just sitting and concentrating. It's also just a good form of self-discipline, forcing your body to leave the comforts of sloth and make it work.Silent Majority wrote: ↑16 Apr 2017, 3:21amBecause this is the last month of the old minimum wage, I've had fuck all money for the bus, meaning I've biked the 12 mile round trip to work the past few days.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Trouble is when you have finished exercising and you are tired you forget what the good ideas were. The shower is another good place to think and apparently is is because of the 'clean air' you breath. The water from the shower spray removes a lot of the dust and crap so the air is richer in oxygen. For same reason you should run/ walk / ride in first areas if you want to think. More oxygen.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 Apr 2017, 8:07amThat's great to hear. Physical exercise does generate its own mental cleansing.
