If he drove then he'd get to it before you, dummy.

Those boot camp classes are no joke. Once I was cleared to return to full activities following my ankle problems I got bored with my elipitcal/weights routines and started boot camp. The instructor is a former college football player and went through OTAs with the Texans so we do a ton of exercises that are sportscentric and he murders us.

so a few weeks ago i broke up with my ladyfriend (while we were on vacation) and decided i was going to lose some weight. i've run over 3 miles a day for almost a month (give or take a few days when i was too hungover) and i have lost 12 pounds.

have done nothing different with my life other than take 30 min a day to run. not really a noticeable difference to me but all of my pants are suddenly too big. pretty good feeling.

You should do the same amount of mileage but 4-5 days a week. Give your muscles time to rebuild.

More importantly, how are the single ladies liking the new Matt?

What did you do for the rest of the vacation?

I once made an appointment to break up in 2 months. She really didn't want to break up and I had already paid for a cruise for her birthday, then had Thanksgiving plans just after getting back to meet her family who thought we were getting serious. So, I said I'd wait. I guess the only story her Ps got was that I unladyfriended her on the ride home just after meeting them.

That should be the best and easiest way to break up with a woman.

"Hey, I think I'm going to have to unladyfriend you"

"What's that? Hey, wait, why are you running?"

ha, this was pretty much what happened except i wasn't smart enough to make an appointment.

i waited until the last night on purpose, but the flight home from mexico was awkward.

but it was her birthday the following weekend and then we had a wedding to go to the following weekend so when we got back we made plans to just forget about it for two weeks and "work on it" so we could enjoy the two following weekends.  i lasted until the wedding and then again broke up with her the last night on the trip. we haven't talked since.

That's funny, was her name Megan?

This outdoor bootcamp thing I'm doing is run by Next Level Fitness which I just discovered is a chain. Anyone else ever done shtein through these jerks before? The women who are doing this thing are shredded and terrifying. Skeletor faces and awesome legs and no asses and they all do extra suicides and sprints over the course of the session.

In short, farg them.

The good news is that you'll be able to make a diamond of poor quality in your glutes when it's over.

So as I'm ramping up to longer runs, I finally acquired a heart rate monitor. Running intervals, I was having difficulty keeping my heart rate under 180 on the fast sections and had to literally walk to get into the low 150's on the slow sections.

What the farg do I do about this?

[Zanshin]

Stop wearing the heart monitor, obviously. I'm a problem-solver.

[rjs246]

I was going to suggest killing yourself.
