That's just silly really.

Yep. Clearly it's having to wear different clothes.

no, it's having to decide to go jogging or just have another beer.

[grungy-gonads]

Not that I have done much of it, but I really hate jogging.
Anything but jogging.

I porefer sex to jogging

[Mamabear]

I prefer hill sprints to jogging - I get less shin pain. Go figure.

But this is the point where I once again extol the virtue of an indoor ski slope. If we could have one in Perth I could go do my daily or even thrice weekly exercise doing something I enjoy rather than having to don the sneakers, or bathers and goggles!

[googie]

I would love an indoor place near where I am.
Just the cool temps would be appealing never mind the exercise!

I prefer biking to running any day. Ever since the army i just despise running not to mention it hurts my knees.

The kids however have caught the triathlon bug and bug me to run with them agh!

Awesome! All the best to them and their training. One of the most grueling sports in the world

If triathlon meant riding 3 different varieties of bike (road bike, mountain bike and "mama-chari") I might even try it. The swimming and running (I mean knee destruction) phases are what put me off.

SdS - I'd take the swimming anyday. Running I am trying to teach myself (once the shoulder is moving properly) with C25K, but the bike I am not in love with - at all! Looks like tri is NOT the challenge for me....I will keeping "trying" but I doubt I will ever love the bike.

Do you swim? Best full-body workout minus the knee impact there is. I go 2-3 days/week and I feel 100% rejuvenated afterwards, but just wish it was as convenient to be able to do as running!! Nothing easier than walking out your front door, office, hotel, etc...

[Mamabear]

Agreed CB.
I am missing my swim's. I can't get back in the pool until my stitches are out next week Tuesday. Maybe it is the big drop in exercise endorphin's that have made me feel so low this week.

[BagOfCrisps]

Cheer up Mamabear!

Have some crisps:



and some chocolate:



and some flowers:

Last week, I think I had some tainted Cadbury's dairy milk. Gave me delhi belly for a week.

Biking is great. You can set your water bottle up on the handle bars and drink whatever you like while riding.

[Mamabear]

ohhh!! BoC! Aren't you lovely!
That's more sympathy than I have got from the entire bear pack

Thursday, maybe without all the beer in the belly to break it down you have turned lactose intolerant?

[BagOfCrisps]

You've very welcome.
Don't munch them all at once!

[BagOfCrisps]

And, actually don't munch the flowers at all.

You need to be mixing the pain killers, alcohol, and pot, then youll feel much better

[Mamabear]

Thanks for the advice CB.
I had 2 glasses of champagne on Friday Night out with the girls (and my pain killers are only over the counter) and was floored on Saturday. It was not good. The pot might be a good suggestion, if I knew where to source some! LOL [maybe I will have to go ask my kids!!]
