It's not a finish line, just another lap (of the sun) done. :D You don't want to hear a bell ringing at that point, because then you're on your last lap. :D

Totally agree. I'll never admit I'm on my last lap! :D

Lucky lucky... damn my parents! :D

Hahaha and the rest of me is holding up pretty well. That's both good luck (genes) and good management (lots of training). :)

Yeah, the 'training' part helps ALOT! I'm doing the gym thing to atleast keep the LOOK of youth!

Well, the last 7 days training:

Wed - Gym (legs and upper body), then a lassage, followed by some light javelin throwing.
Thu - Track session - Warmup, drills then 5 x 80m at 85% effort (which is enough to get me to around 30 km/h these days!)
Fri - Gym (core) followed by yoga.
Sat - 3.3km cross country relay leg.
Sun - Track session - warmup, 6 x 200m with reducing rest, then gym (legs and core)
Mon - 3km treadmill and gym (core)
Tue - Today! - warmup, 5 x 300m at 1km pace (roughly).

Welcome to my world. :D

Unfortunately, that means I don't get to play radio as often as I used to. :) Need to reconnect with the local club.

My first gray that I noticed was once I was shaving. I should point out that I wear a gotee...

But anyway, I'm shaving then washing the 'left over' shaving cream from
my face and some won't wash out. It was gray in my 'beard.' LOL

Hehe!!!

I used to go to the barbershop every week, I had the same haircut for
the last 5 or so years, faded, and thin on top. I remember, like it was yesterday! (I wish it was!) when I finally started going bald, I
thought my barber messed up my hair! I went home, got in the shower, looked in the mirror, and I thought I cut my hair too then on the top
of my head! I didn't wanna believe I was going bald! So I rushed back
to the shop to complain!! hahaha

We had a good (tearful!) laugh about it! I started to just cut it all
off, so I
DID save some money! ;)

LOL - well there's that advantage! :-)

Geesh! Are you traning for the Decathalon! :D I wish I could do PART of that, I have back issues so when I go to the gym, I just lift and do cardio. You can
be my personal trainer!! hehe

Hehe, my primary goal is speed. Currently, I can run the 100 metres in a little over 13 seconds (Remember, I'm 51 :) ), but I believe I can get that time down quite a lot. However, there is some truth in your question, I have been known to do a decathlon, and want to do another one next summer. The throwing will certainly help my points on some of my weaker events (I'm not a thrower at all, and 3/10 decathlon events are throws).

This time of year, my focus is on general fitness - strength, power, endurance, flexibility, while doing enough speed work to maintail my basic skills, without being overtaxing. I also have to regularly work on acceleration repition, because that is the weak part of my race, despite having more power than average. So far, repetition is my friend there.

You wouldn't be the first who's asked for my help, or that I've given help to with their fitness. :)

I dunno WHAT happened with that last message I sent, it got all kinda ways wacky!

I've been making a conscience effort on my health. It was easier in my 20's! now almost hitting 50, if I want to live satisfying live I've had to make it more of my routine. I actually been losing weight over the last 2 months. I feel healthier!

Hmm, OK. :D

Oddly enough, I've been like a good fortified wine or whisky, and am improving with age. :)

Yeah, definitely have to make it routine. Having a sport to pursue certainly helps me, as that adds training commitments and competition. Off down the coast for a cross country relay this coming Saturday. My leg is 5.7km (around 3.5 miles). :)

Hmm, feel free to drop me a netmail to continue, or perhaps over in FSXnet. :)

Creeping back on topic, I'd like to have another go at ARDF, now that I'm at my best long distance fitness ever. The DF and navigation parts are no issue for me, I'm a natural at both, it's the distance running aspect that was my weak link back in 2003. But I still managed 2 team gold (2m and 80m) and an individual bronze (in the open 80m event) at the 2003 Region 3 ARDF Championships.

I used Finasteride to pre-empt hair loss. Not sure if it worked, as I started it before any real hair loss. I won't stop using it though!
