    I'm currently at 5.8 miles and counting for the day. I fully suspect that I'll end up hitting close to 12 again today before bedtime.

    (raises hand) I find it a stress reliever...but I wouldn't judge anyone who can't or doesn't want to...

    Ayy, people. I'm trying to figure out how to sneak out for a walk without being rude to my inlaws. I lifted for the first time in 10 days yesterday and I'm getting more sore as the day goes on. I need a walk to loosen up.

    31.2 miles on the bike out in the rain and cold. Took a bit of mental strength at times, but I knocked it out.

    Just out of interest really.

    My stupid body clocks means I wake everyday about 3.30. As my gym is 24hr I am normally in the gym about 4.30 and then back home before the family wake.

    I know tomorrow I am gonna find it hard to resist the urge to head out to burn off some xmas calories

    Sounds about like me. I'm up by 2:00, breakfast in me by 3:30 after morning mobility work, and at the gym lifting between 4:30 and 5:30, depending upon which gym I go to.

    I'm also usually in bed asleep by 18:00 or 19:00. A lot of people do their "me time" in the evenings. I do mine before work. Just seems to set a better pace for the day.

    I wish - my body clock is fubar. 2200 give or take most nights to 0200-0300 most mornings. 6 hours or more uninterrupted is a fantasy for me.

    I used to be the same way. I changed a few things, and I am out like a light shortly after the sun is down.

    1: no lights or electronics of any sort (other than my alarm clock) in my bedroom.
    2: epsom soak an hour before bedtime.
    3: phone on vibrate, sitting on my kitchen counter.
    4: I wake up 3-4 times per night to pee. Each time, I smoke a cigarette, make a small part of my breakfast for the next morning, then shut all lights back off and back in bed. Takes about ten minutes each time.

    It's a weird combination of things for sure, but it's worked wonders for my sleep quality and duration.
    Every time you get up at night you smoke? Did I read that correctly?

    C25K is every other day, not every day?

    Speaking in the past tense, just did. 3.6 mph 5 degree incline 30 minutes. That burns off >10% of the calories I've eaten today.

    On my way out now. It's 31 degrees outside and I never wear a hat so my head will be cold!!!! Out for a 3.5 mile walk.

    Thought you were based in the Bay Area where it's still in the 50's Are you in Tahoe now?

    Just finished my DL routine and ate dinner. Roasted pork butt (pernil) w/red beans/rice & corn-on-the-cob. Yum! Will do my SQT routine after I watch Sun/Xmas nite football and give my stomach a rest.

    Hey, how about those 9ers!! Actually looked like a football team in the 4th quarter yesterday. Too bad the only team they can beat this yr is the Rams. LOL!!!

    Yeap. Nicotine can either act as a stimulant or depressant, depending upon dosage and intake rate. I've found that huge slow drags bring my heart and breathing rates down, which when paired with the carbon monoxide influx, makes it easier to fall back asleep.
