Haven’t done any timing because the weather hasn’t been great - wouldn’t be smart to time and risk injury/destroying my confidence with a bad time. I should be able to race next weekend.
Can’t stay away huh. The benefits of running out weigh staying on the side line watching. I see highschool and college associates that haven’t seen me in years and the first thing they say is…you look the same. More than 90% of the of them don’t look the same at all. Plus competition is fucking fun.
Exactly. I’m 38 this year, and guys i used to train over 10yrs ago, seen me about 2 months ago, said i have not changed a bit - then a girl i went to high school with said I look the same as when i did back in school. They had their 20yr high school reunion last year, i was away, but looking at the photos, i only recognized about 3-4… the others looked completely different.
Plus, i train as a Personal Trainer for a living - lots of 40-70yr olds, the biggest lesson i have learned from them is, never, ever, ever stop training, massage and eating good food. When i say some of these people are pathetic, it’s an understatement… 20yrs of being a bum = you’re a bum…
I agree. I had 6 years off after retiring from hammer, to concentrate on work, study and coaching. I looked fat, old and unfit. Have spent the last 18 months slowly getting back into training, and am slowly turning back the clock. Have lost 10kg, am fitter, healthier, and younger looking. I turn 40 this year, and plan to be fitter than I was 10 years ago, and get back into sprinting (Hammer thrower is a no go)
