Alrighty… so I’m back at it on the activity front. I never stopped weight-training, and managed to hit some big milestones over the last couple of weeks. I can now squat 245lbs., bench press 180, and do 10 reps of dips with a 40 pound weight attached to my ass. I’ve dropped 6 pounds in the last two weeks thanks to a little more carefully monitored diet, and I can easily do a couple hundred crunches in one sitting. I’m bragging, but I’m pretty friggin’ proud (and in shape \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/p>\n
I’m also back to running, and am group leading the LTR<\/abbr> course at the Slater Street Running Room<\/a>. I’m taking it reasonably slowly, and am only running intervals with walk rests which total about 12km<\/abbr> a week. Today will be my first go at Ultimate since the Co-ed Jamboree<\/a>, and it’s with another team I’ve never played before. It should work pretty well as a tune-up, but I just have to remember to tone it down a little.<\/p>\n The focus this past few weeks has been disc golf, and my game is pretty decent. I can putt fairly reliably from 20 feet out, and can flick drive really well (in my very biased opinion). I really need to work on my attitude, though, as I tend to cuss a lot and the folks I play with can’t enjoy it that much. I’m starting to get used to the tee-bird<\/a>, although with changing my driving style my roc<\/a> does things I don’t expect it to, so I have to re-learn it’s behaviour. James has been very good at coaching, and I’m playing about +8 on average from the blues, which is pretty decent for a first season using golf discs.<\/p>\n Ok, shameless boasting finished. Happy Saturday, and try not to dwell on the past today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alrighty… so I’m back at it on the activity front.
