I missed you

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

Although big news (especially over here, obviously) it shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone that a 96 year old lady has died. Her Majesty put a good shift in though.

I thought she was undead and would outlast us all.

I thought she was undead and would outlast us all.

An Eldritch being, with no discernible beginning or end, stretching across infinity only to bear witness to our sufferingly short lives.

RIP Lizzy, ta for the public hol coming up.

I had hoped to be the last person on earth that never had covid, but I've failed. Pray for me, brothers.

RIP in peace. F.

Hopefully your bout isn't going too badly. Get better soon mate.

Thanks mate! Already getting better, but it certainly ain't much fun.

A couple friends of mine are trying to convince me to do a 5k in January. My knees ache at the thought of running.

I ran a 5k team relay this spring with people from work, the difference between great runners and people doing it for fun was enormous, I was quite impressed. I managed 27 minutes on what I was told was a pretty "slow" track, hated every second of it.

“Doing it for fun”

Bunch of sadists.

 

[xPINKx]

A colleague of mine with whom I work very closely did it "for fun" and did the 5k in 44 minutes. That's real sadism, torturing herself and the other members of the team...
I'll join again next year, aiming at <25min.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

I’m doing this. It won’t be fun. I’m aiming for sub 60 minutes. I have zero expectations, I just don’t want to explode my knees.

 

[xPINKx]

Ease into it and make sure your running form is okay-ish. There's a bunch of good resources on pose running on YT.

I actually started on SD to learn about conditioning and cardio, I was training for a full marathon. I read that I should do some lifting as GPP. Lifting was more fun.

I never did do that marathon. Lifetime PB is 14k run.

I did a half marathon last year. Hated it. That's enough for me. Full marathon out of the question.

 

[teepsandbarleywine]

I just ran 15k on Saturday. It's officially the second-longest run I have ever done, the longest being 19km, which I did during lockdown last year. Aiming to do a run over 10km each Saturday morning for the foreseeable. I fucking hate running sometimes.

On my last Sunday run I got lost and ended up way off where I planned to go. 12km in 80 minutes though. Thank God there's audiobooks.

I got lost trail running once. Fear is a powerful motivator to keep running.
Fear of bears and coyotes.
