Today’s weekday run. Target 8K. Achieved 5.39
I think I’m coming down with some kind of cough. Possibly brought on as a result, or partially as a result of, the recent air pollution. It’s making me wheeze, and I’ve noticed a definite shortness of breath, or apparent reduced lung capacity.
A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 5lbs weight loss program.
The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck..
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.”
Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5lbs as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/10lbs program. The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, “If you catch me you can have me”.
Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10lbs as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/25 lbs program.
“Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program.” “Absolutely,” he replies, “I haven’t felt this good in years.”
The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, “If I catch you, you are mine.”
He lost 33 lbs that week…
Despite the Sheffield Half Marathon being cancelled moments before the start, thousands of runners disobeyed orders and decided to complete the race anyway.
In heart-warming and sometimes amusing scenes, the people of the Sheffield rallied behind the ‘rebel runners’ – handing out bottles of water and offering loud cheers and applause.
Organisers were ‘very reluctantly’ forced to cancel the race before its 9am start time because of ‘insufficient water’ being delivered by suppliers and a subsequent safety risk to runners.
Sheffield Half Marathon somehow still a roaring success despite chaotic cancellation | Metro News.
Today’s weekday run. Target 8K. Achieved 4.25K in 26:16. Disappointed, BUT, I broke my 1mile record. :-D
The air pollution is still around – my lungs are making that wheezy sound from last week.
Just made some updates to my Zombies, Run 2 Google Music FAQ.
If anyone tells you “You can’t achieve your goal”, just remember that there is only one person who can tell you what you can and can’t do — and that person is yourself.
With the right incentive and motivation, a human can do many wonderful things. I’ve seen this video many times, and always come back to it whenever I feel a dip in motivation. If he can do it, so can I.
