screened-in porches are the best.
, but i do prefer yielding isos vs overcoming, for most stuff, except maybe grip. i don't like overcoming isos for pretty much anything else, too intense & burn me out too quick. the pulling muscles (lats for example) probably respond better to yielding isos/holds. so i can see weighted holds or negatives being pretty effective.
pool is "huge" (for me)

Alright that was it for this 'season'.
Stated goals in the beginning was to hit sub 25' 5K , sub 60' 10k , complete a half marathon even walking.
Also some weightroom goals that i wont even state coz i failed all by far.
Couldn't have done much better considering the spine injury in December.
Almost got the 5K two times, one pre (25:15) and one post ( 22:57 4,5K , projecting 25:10 ) injury, both at races, not even close when training alone.
Didint even run 10K at any time ( max was 9 ) let alone the half marathon.
Time to recharge batteries. Talk 'soon'...
The soreness I get from climbing is really interesting. From my normal chinup training the soreness I get, when I get sore from it (which isn't very often), is localised to quite high up on my lats. From climbing the main soreness is rear delts and really low down on my lats, near where they insert at the hip.
Ball game last night. We won easily but played against a bunch of wanna be morons. Lots of pushing and shoving from them. Elbows thrown under the rim. Lots of c bombs thrown about. Just lucky for me I'm bigger and stronger than them. One of their players got sat twice during the game for abusing the ref who was an 18 year old girl. It's so satisfying to win against guys like this.

After visiting the doctor to get insight into the jaundice thing, the doctor read from the diagnosis from 2009, which I had not received information about till now that I have Gilbert syndrome.QuoteGilbert syndrome is a relatively mild condition characterized by periods of elevated levels of a toxic substance called bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Bilirubin, which has an orange-yellow tint, is produced when red blood cells are broken down. This substance is removed from the body only after it undergoes a chemical reaction in the liver, which converts the toxic form of bilirubin (unconjugated bilirubin) to a nontoxic form called conjugated bilirubin. People with Gilbert syndrome have a buildup of unconjugated bilirubin in their blood (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia). In affected individuals, bilirubin levels fluctuate and very rarely increase to levels that cause jaundice, which is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
Gilbert syndrome is usually recognized in adolescence. If people with this condition have episodes of hyperbilirubinemia, these episodes are generally mild and typically occur when the body is under stress, for instance because of dehydration, prolonged periods without food (fasting), illness, vigorous exercise, or menstruation. Some people with Gilbert syndrome also experience abdominal discomfort or tiredness.
damn weird :/
where'd you get that diagnosis? you got blood tests etc? get a second opinion eventually.
i guess from that description, try to also make sure you're hydrating properly. if you're not, start forcing yourself to drink glasses of water every few hours - or do like i do, finish two 1.5L bottles every day. makes it easy to know how much you're drinking.
pc!
So around 2008-2009 I had yellowing of the eyes and slight abdominal pains, I went to the doctor, which they originally diagnosed me with jaundice because of the yellowing of the eyes, blood test and yellow urine. They said it was a liver infection later on.
Later on they carried out a ultra sound, which they found that there was nothing wrong with my liver and it was clear. But the symptoms of jaundice was there.
After some time they came to a conclusion and probably told my parents about it, but I was never aware of what was wrong with me.
A few years ago when fasting I had the same yellowing of the eyes quite a bit, because of fasting, when the days were the longest of the year.
Recent I had a stomach infection and went to the doctors in India and they said Jaundice but after some tests said it was mild effects of jaundice and I never did another ultra sound there to confirm as it was already confirmed but also didn't have the money. There I did blood test and urine test.
I went to the doctors here in the UK because of the remaining effects of the stomach infection was there but also explanation of the yellowing of the eyes, which was mild. So the doctor gave the diagnosis they gave in 2009, only that I was unaware of it and this is the first time I am hearing it, but it's good to have an explanation of what it is and why it is happening.
I will get a blood test tomorrow and see what that says.
I get thirsty more quicker than hungry so I will try and drink plenty of water. Also don't want to get self conscious and let it effect my training. What about mixing glucose with water than drinking water on it's own.
that's funny, we're moving on the same day,


although gf and i won't finish our move until we find a place in london in early september. this is the first time i've had to use professional movers, always just used a combination of self and parents/friends before. when i moved from the states to pakistan it was just two boxes sent via fedex and a couple of suitcases.
but my gf and i have managed to accumulate several substantial pieces of furniture that we want to hold onto,
a couple hundred books (how did i let that happen?! i finally bought a kindle before i moved out here specifically to avoid getting more books!), and a bunch of art. so movers it is.
