Clibling. scrambling, etc - it must be a pretty nice place where you do that. ?

City dweller myself but lucky enough to stay within 3 miles of four different parks with varied and well maintained running routes in them.

We have noting like that. Not that I know of anyway

No training this week due to having manflu but things are going ok - body fat has dropped a bit since that photo and overall weight has gone up.

Joys of the weight room and appropriate supplements.

Regarding 'before' pictures, here's me from not that long ago.

I tend to stroll an awful lot but the scenery has to be good. I'm fairly sure I don't have ... well - mebbe Coombe Park has one but I doubt it. Seen no end of neighbours 'mess' their knees up because they were relentlessly pounding tarmac and concrete.
I'll be envious and stick to my strolls and swimming i guess

Gawd - has anyone ever tried to stroll a cross Tresco Islands shell-beach sands??? I ached for days! And I didn't get further than a few hundred metres.

Nope I think I will stick to the swimming pool and gentle walking as well. That is more than enough for me

Actually - I'm really missing Cwm Idwal. A lot. And the height of the Brecon Beacon. And want to know the Derbyshire Peaks - let alone more north than that. Oh! and the entire Pembrokeshire coast... my list is endless

You've done so well Deffy

We'll get there Lass.

Definite improvement there Igni, so how long has it taken to get where you are, the guns are looking better

Keep up the good work

I take it your on the protein shakes, beware that stuff will give bad gas

That's over the course of a few months.

Yes I am drinking the protein shakes, however I'm quite used to them now so it's not a problem. It all depends on the person and how much they use, it's just food!

Nugget · 04-02-2011, 11:05

I'm now this close to finishing my 30 day challenge - did a relatively fast 2 miles last night in 17:02, so I've only got 2.9 left to do by Sunday. Might finish them off tonight, then the next 30 day challenge may well be 40 miles

Well that's a pretty good result in such a short space of time, youve gained a fair bit of mass in the process, whilst loosing a chunk of fat by the looks of it.

Personally I'm not into bulking up just trimming down and gaining some definition back, as I used to have abs you could grate cheese on.

Yes it was a long time ago

Tinky · 05-02-2011, 07:12

That was quite some target you took on Nugget, and you are going to do it all over again?
