wow awesom stuff Matty :D It always feels good and makes it easier when things arent as bad as what you think they are :D

I managed to go for a 1.5k walk tonight... Back is still a little tender, but it was great just to get out and do something! Hopefully tomorrow i can jump on the bike again, but i will stop at 5km.. Hopefully i now know my limits.. If not, i have lots of drugs left over from the Doc :P

It is amazing how quickly your body reacts.. 6 weeks ago the same 1.5km walk killed me.. today, i barely worked up a sweat and if not for the back would have done another km... My pants i was wearing 6 weeks ago without a belt, are now falling off without a belt :D

Shit...that sucks, Skyhookz.

...in other news, I have registered for two running events in the next two months. One is a 10km run, the other a 14km run. They will be good prep for my City to Surf run in August. I find that if I register early, pay the money, it motivates me to organise myself faster.

Swimming is on the books for me next month. Physio said i'll be in the clear in April.

Just in time for my cruise to Vanuatu Islands in May with the "soon-to-be" Mrs.

I've heard a little about the tough mudder and am curious as to what exactly it entails, Bainsy?

@ Leeroy, congrats mate...and, yeah, sounds like a nice holiday destination.

Love it! AWESOME! You have to let me know every detail once you've done it, Bainsy. Looks like you got in before it sold out there in Melbourne. I noticed they've got it in Sydney. Now that I have seen that I HAVE TO do it! Don't know when or where but I'm going to do it. Maybe they'll do a Perth event sometime soon. If not, I might have to look at traveling next year. This year is about getting back into fitness. Next year maybe I'll have a crack at that. Thanks, bainsy.

should be good. i dont think the 1 month is enough to get me to the benchmark, but at least it gives me something to strive for, as weight has never really been a problem, thus never had a real big motivator.

it is going to a bloody tough event.

@kilrtom - i think i recall you saying that you used to be a personal trainer so i have a question.

should you stretch after doing exercise? i thnk i recall someone saying you shouldnt, as when you exercise you gets micro-tears in your muscles, and when you stretch that muscle after exercise you worsen the micro-tears and risk injury. was wondering if you knew anything about that.

cheers bainsy
