Listen to this freakos, Batman has joined a gym.

Oh and no beer. That's the feckin kicker there.

Yeah that aint gunna really work for me...im currently on my 10th can...saying that I am on me holibobs and it's better to drink and go to the gym than just drink I reckon.

If I stick it out and actually get to the point that I wanna start seeing results then I may reconsider my drinking habits but at present I just think that doing it is better than not doing it.

More for my mental health than my physical if I'm being honest

Best to keep everyone safe from errand barbells and stick to the current work out regiment at a 'home gym'. Curling a can or bottle is a very underrated type of workout which overtime can lead to significant expansion of both body and mind!

I would think since you are doing something healthy you can even things off by drinking more and all things will even out

@Batman

9:15 a.m. pushed really hard and then ***BLAM!*** the spinach you ate really shot out and you felt it take out the steak you ate, it sort of hooked into it and dragged it out.

Persistence is the key; I started Jiu Jitsu at 36 with a bunch of young angry lions. The first 5 months have been the worst of my life, health wise, now I am about to turn 40 and I would say that I am somewhere in the middle of the pack but still can keep up with the bests (those around my level, that is). Just accept pain as the cruelest and most successful of teachers. Go get it, bud.

7:50 in the AM and on a Sunday and I'm on the bus heading to the gym, by rights I should be in bed hungover right now.

To be honest the only reason I didn't order a meal last night was because I didn't want a vindaloo rolling around in my guts whilst I was running around, that could have been quite nasty and would have probably ended up as an entry in Brocks shit diary.

I'm looking forward to next week when I will already be in town so won't need to keep fucking about with the bus to get there and back.

I am in Gran Canaria and eating a lot of healthy food after binging on ice cream and dessert.

Batman, is this you versus the 140lb boxer?

[Batman]

Well I'm still going, at the minute I've taken to focusing entirely on the treadmill, I'm still doing the C25K thing and I'm going to be starting week 3 when I next go to the gym.

I'm feeling better, I'm still sweating like a stuck pig and getting pretty out of puff (I know people tell you not to get out of breath by the time the walking intervals are up I'm fine and my heart rate has dropped sufficiently) I noticed today that I actually felt more comfortable going at a faster speed than I have been, so obviously something is working.

The pain is feeling much better as well, when I tried running on the pavement the agony was fucking crippling, it was pretty bad when I started on the treadmill as well but that seems to be dissipating pretty fast and I'm left with a good sort of pain.

I've still not lost any timber that I have noticed yet but my leg muscles are growing at a pretty alarming rate, I've always had pretty thick legs, in fact if I wouldn't have discovered cigarettes and alcohol when I was 14 I most likely would have ended up playing rugby but there you go.

Anyways man, I'm feeling pretty good, I know it still isn't a lot that I'm doing but I'm quarter of the way through C25K and within (a minimum) of 6 more weeks the goal is to be able to run 30 minutes non stop, once I can do that I can work on distance and then I can start incorporating other things into this newfound lifestyle.

Also (and @Master you will be very please about this) Thursday nights have always been my prequel to the weekend where I blast my music and down 8 cans of strong lager, today I went to the gym and drank a fuck load of water, I'm trying to give myself 3 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) at the minute but it's been a bit hit and miss with social commitments.

Next step when I get paid I'm gunna invest in a semi decent pair of trainers, the ones I'm in at the moment are alright but not really made specifically for running (plus they stink like satans arsehole after a vindaloo)
