Buenos Aires marathon (42k) early today. My personal record: 4:15 (not yet official, certainly less than 4:20).

Nice job, congratulations!

Gotta love those moments when your legs don't want to cooperate, and you know of it weren't a race you could had fine it three times over

One thing I can do, and that's push myself to my limits. Limits do vary depending on many factors too. The problem with that is, most people see their limits at a point somewhat lower than their actual limits really are. Years ago, when I was playing soldiers, my view of my limits was redefined, and is somewhat closer to actual breaking point than the average person. I tend to come very close to the edge of overdoing it. One day if I'm not careful, I just might.

correct :-) and if you didn't push past your limits , you would never gain muscle or expand your limits, I say limits are when you just physically cannot do the exercise any more. but you still have to know when to stop after pushing past your limits to not injure yourself.

Pre and post turkey workouts on the long weekend.

Sunday, 11km run

Monday, Interval training:
Warm up; 5x 45 seconds on/15 seconds rest of Jumping jacks, mountain climbers, squats.
7x 1 minute of burpees, 50m sprint
5 minutes alernating 12x Slow pushups/V sits, 50m sprint
Finish off with a Sally of squats, 3.5 minutes.

What is Sally? Using Moby's "Flower" as a cue, "Sally down" means hold a squat until you hear "Sally up", then jump out of the squat, and then repeat for 3.5 minutes. Sounds easy, right. It can also be done with pushups.

Hi guys. Been away climbing for the last nine days in The Grampians in Victoria. Each day was an incredible workout; hiking with a pack and 'crash pad' on my back, bouldering and lead climbing.

Lost 2 kilos and a whole percent of body fat. Also lost the skin from most of my fingers and, at times, my sanity.

Climbed a few V2 problems and a couple of V3s, also some 'high ball' (as in, if I fall I'm dead or seriously damaged if I fall) problems and some grade 19 lead climbs. Pretty easy stuff all in all but I'm happy with what I did.

I know it's rather self indulgent of me, but here are some photos:

On a boulder somewhere near Hall's Gap



On a slab near Hall's Gap. After three moves I'd had three footers break on me. It was a little sketchy but I needed to try it.



Sending 'Schleich Di' near Hollow Mountain cave.



On 'Three Sleeps' in a cave at a place named 'Loopeys' near Hollow Mountain cave.



Sending a problem named 'Karl' at a place named Snakepit.



If you zoom in really close you can see my "What the F am I doing?" face. Down-climbing into a cave above Taipan Wall.



Hunting boulders near Halls' Gap.

Good thing you've got the crash pad, some of them positions look pretty gnarly!

Man, I miss rock climbing. Looks like a blast.
