Whoa whoa whoa. Doc doesn't get to keel over. This reader needs a travel guide when he attempts to navigate Greece next year (gotta stay out of the regions that still practice pederasty, you understand).

Short term goal: continue recovering from a speed running day three days ago (overdid it) such as today's 1 3/4 very easy bike ride.

Long term goal: beat my Half Marathon time of 4 years ago.

What it will take: long easy runs of 15+ miles (3 hrs.), 1+ weekly speed days, lose 10 lbs. in 3 1/2 months.

Because I'm off work I did 3k in the pool this morning instead of the usual 2.5. It should have been 120 lengths but I might have done 124 - after 30 I think I miscounted as the timing was out by 2 1/2 minutes meaning I had either swam VERY slowly or missed counting 4 lengths - everything was normal after that so I think it was my counting that was out but did an extra 4 lengths just to make sure.
I did the 120 in 70 minutes and the 124 in 72 minutes 37 seconds. I'm not impressed, I used to be much faster. Will try harder on Friday

Held a 9mm for 15 miles this morning. Right Achilles tendon hurts just a tad more than it should. Big toe callus tore off.

Shucks.

Was it a Walther?
I can only assume you were tracking down feral hogs, but a hand gun isn't going to do much against that hide, except anger them.

Ha!

Nope, for hogs I use my 88 magnum.

I'm hooked on Deadlifts. Normally I train 3 times a Week with additional Excercises, but in moment it's much toooooooooooooooooooo hot.

You're on the right track, Jack of Hearts, Deadlift - Squats - Benchpress and Bicep-Curls. That's the way to go. Have fun and don't forget the Protein.

Almost missed this. Yeah, compound lifts are awesome.
