What do people do when they dont train?
Only 6 Sleeps to go until the race. I haven’t trained since friday night and even that was half hearted. It is killing me. I know I need to rest up for sunday though but that will take even more discipline from me than anything else.
Seriously how do people survive without going to the gym. I pity those poor soles who have never felt the satisfaction of successfully picking up a barbell loaded with plates in a deadlift or the ego trip when someone says that you "obviously spend a lot of time in the gym" or people that don’t realise that your body can look like whatever you want it to through hard work and consistancy (my crooked nose is a different story however lol.)
Thankyou to all who have supported me up to now. I will try and post between now and sunday if I think of something to say but usually these posts start with what I have done in the gym or on the road and go off on a tangent from there but if I haven’t trained then who knows? There will definatly be a post race blow by blow account asap after the race.
Goodnight.

Hey good luck ! I’ll miss your daily observations (a.k.a. blog entries) but look forward to your account of the race when it’s over !

i totally get that–like when people ask me "what do you like to do for fun" (i know, generic dates SUCK), working out is totally the number one….followed closely by obsessing about my diet….
Good luck on the race!

Good luck Sunday Ryan. I still think that the race you are running is amazing yet insane all at the same time. I admire your ability to do such a race. Someday I will get there but for now, brisk walking will have to suffice. I know, baby steps. While it is exceptionally motivating to be in contact with people such as yourself, it can be frustrating when you are as impatient as I am. Thanks for all your support.

Find something to do that prepares you for your challenge. Go for a relaxing run or a yoga class. Hit the weights lightly. Give yourself something else to focus on. You will relax by doing, not by sitting. Good luck

Does that mean I am allowed to go to the gym VT? I’m outta here! Actually I was about to go and do a light session anyways.

You are SO addicted!
In a good sense, of course
