It's only funny because he would rather die than run. 

But there's certainly truth to the added ankle support.     

I just mentioned it because my too serious neighbor decided that it would be a good idea to do just that. My ankles hurt for a few days after. Had to numb the pain with drunken stupor for a few days.

How about if I walk on the beach, and skip rocks across the water?

Upper and lower body workout?

nah... you'd have to take your hands out of the bag of chips to do that.   Stick to jogging.

shit.

looks like running it is:

At the surgeons office right now, officially released to focus on my fitness goals

Official fighting weight is 266... My reality isn't too far off

Why does a moto forum need two contentious fitness threads?

Why do we need any fitness threads?

Where else would peeps do cartwheels?

It's been suggested that an apology may be due for my previous post/rant. After giving it due consideration, and having reread that which I posted, I do feel that what I said about the hand in the bag of chips was out of line - for that, I do apologize. I was angry, still am to some degree, but that part wasn't called for. Everything else that I said (albeit hard to swallow) was based on posts and observations made from within this thread.

There's obviously a huge amount of animosity for people who pursue fitness goals and share their process with the general public. God forbid someone should share something that might actually help someone else along the way. Nothing that I said was pointed at any one person specifically, but many of you took it to heart.

When it comes down to it, the only thing that I've ever done is share what I do, and share what I'm passionate about. I love it, and I can't help that. But no one has a right to take that away from me or anyone else because as many of you have demonstrated, devaluing someones effort hurts (which I believe I fully demonstrated in my post by devaluing effort as a whole).

More often than not, as I just demonstrated, there's often more to my posts than what you read at face value.

You really thing so?  Really?  I seriously doubt that is the case at all.  More likely that  certain individuals who work out like hell come across as having a superiority complex and looking down at those who do not share the same goals. 

Not sure what the hell is going on in this thread since I last checked in... But been swimming a lot better lately and it's become less of a grind.

Speaking only for myself, I went back over the past 10 pages and read what I posted. I've been supportive of others, encouraging, made observations, shared interesting information, been corrected a time or two, made apologies where necessary, actually even tried to rope in the 'seriousness' of the thread...so overall, I fail to see how that classification could be targeted in my direction?

sounds like a little oversensitivity and lots of misperception on both sides of it.

I think most of the seemingly "anti-workout" comments have been harmless fun poking at those who take training a little more serious, but perhaps taken a little too much to heart.

On the flip side, I haven't seen one comment, by those who are serious about their training, that came across as sounding like an attitude of superioritytowards those who don't train more seriously. I think there might just be some projecting going on.

FWIW, the best behaved forum I visit on regular basis is a performance training forum. Nothing is modded on the forum and nobody gets banned. You can say whatever you want, call anyone anything you like and make any claim you feel you can get away with.  However, you can't edit your posts and you are held accountable for everything you say by some very clever members who won't hesitate to call anyone out on any bullshit. It cuts down on the misunderstandings, misperceptions and BS in general.

I think all the parties should fill one of these out, in triplicate...

Now that's funny Carlos!!

No need.

I like this thread.

I don't like your posts in it.

I've said or implied it many times.

It's time for breakfast.  I smell  . And it looks tasty.

I'll probably go jogging after a bit, since I have no exercise equipment here.
