morning all, am new to the thread.. 45 in the UK, have been a bit too much into beer and bad food since I got divorced and am now trying to sort myself out. I've been a volunteer rowing coach for a couple of years but am trying to get back into the right shape to get racing myself again - I hate the rowing machine though, so I've bought myself a boat!
Am trying to get on the water 3 or 4 times a week and do an hour to 90 minutes of hard work - so every time you see 'rowing stationary' on my news feed, i'm actually out on the river!6 -
Ran last night after work and it was a hard and miserable 5 miles. It was 20 degrees F hotter than I'm used to since I switched my runs to before work, and plus the sun was evil, LOL. I tried to slow my pace to compensate, but kept speeding up. I'm supposed to be in class today, but I'm playing hooky to spend time with hubby since it's his day off.
I've always been interested in crossfit, but the cost seems like a lot and I can't justify it yet until I find my grownup job.0 -
Good morning cool kids.
Went for a beautiful 4 mile walk last evening as the weather has been GORgeous! This morning, got up and instead of coming in to work, I headed to Wednesday morning yoga class, then came in to work. It's my birthday and I am making the most of it.

Acute bronchitis has me down for the count for a few days. I'm not very happy about this. I don't actually get sick, let alone this sick! The last time I had to take antibiotics was over ten years ago when I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. And I've never had to take a steroid. It's going to be a long week!0

Last night was deadlift night, my fav. I finally got the okay to get back to deadlifting last week (after injuring my shoulder while being stupid doing snatches). This week I decided to max out, because why not. At 100kg I switched to singles, got 105, 110, 113,115,118, and ended at 120. That last one was a bit of a grind but no hitch. Pretty sure it would be 3 white lights.
Next Monday is my last deadlift day before the meet on the 30th. I'll try for 122kb (268lbs) on Monday night and see how it goes. (the meet is deadlift only, that's good because my bench is poverty level) I think this meet might actually be non-sanctioned...I'm unclear on the details. It's like a add-on event to Caffeine and Kilos. Whatever, I just need to dip my toes in the water again.
I need to hit 125kg by the end of this year, so now that I can lift again I've got to get going on this.1 -
Hi Kids,
Rest day today. My first Saturday training break in months and I almost don't know what to do with all the free time, lol.
Looking forward to a local 5k race tomorrow. It will be the first one I've run in over a year. I'm hoping for some improvement over last year's finishing time. It will be hot at the 1pm start. Forecast calls for temps around 90. My only real concern is deciding whether to wear my running shorts, or the spandex "booty shorts" I wear as part of my tri kit.
Stay Cool.2 -

Happy Monday kids. I decided to do a 3 day back to back hot Pilates with my daughter this weekend. Needless to say my abs and glutes took a beating. Gam3rguy, bottle up that energy of yours and sell it. Cool kids rock. Have a great day everyone.1

Hi guys, I would like to join this group. I'm 52 and need to loose 40 pounds. I've been working out at HEW, our local cross fit gym 4 days a week for about a year. Very hard workouts but I feel good after I'm finished. Saying all that I'm not losing any weight and after speaking with one of my coaches he suggested that my nutrition was not good. I guess too many late night pizzas with the kids.
So I've decided to start MFP again to get it where it needs to be I'm trying LCHF diet. Wish me luck.
Today's workout, mostly cardio, I burned 413 active calories and 515 total calories. I normally don't burn that much but we didn't lift today.

Hi cool kids - thank you all for the bday wishes! It was a really nice day.
Like much of the country, we are now experiencing summer temperatures. I'll take it! Sunday did one of my favourite hikes. Took me 3.5 hours, so I was happy. An 11km challenging hike that can take 3 to 5 hours. We even stopped and had a little break and try and cool down a bit. It was 28C hiking, so we were sweaty messes when we were done.
Travelling for work over the next few days. I know I will be doing a lot of walking, but not sure how much logging I will be doing.
last week only saw a 1lb loss. I'm blaming it on the wine I enjoyed at the wedding I attended Saturday night.
have a great day all!2 -

Hi Kids, and welcome to all the noobs;
@sdereski - Belated Birthday Wishes!
@gam3rguy - That inflatable must have made for a wild race finish!
I came close to melting into the pavement on Sunday during a 5k race. Race started at 1pm in humid 90 degree temps. Uncomfortable to say the least. I managed to finish 2nd of 12 in the age group, so I guess the other old guys must have felt as badly as I did.
I'm enjoying the chance to focus on running, now that tri season is done. Cooler weather forecast here this weekend should make it feel great to run and bike outdoors.
