    I’ve never ran a marathon but I enjoy running outdoors in the summer more than winter. Mostly because of the clothing.

    I started a spin class at the weekend in the UK at which they play metal/pop punk etc. So glad they opened near me. The 2nd session started with New Found Glory - Hit or Miss and included Basketcase, Right Now by Korn. Great atmosphere and usually all bikes are full.

    Went to a doctor today for my chest. I was told my chest spasms are due to a pulled rib. So no upper body workouts for 2-3 weeks. That’s going to suck. Maybe a month of no upper body will set me back 2 months at least.

    But it’s better than what I thought was maybe heart palpitations

    Sucks to hear, but at least it’s not worse haha.

    Time to go all out on everything else though! Hammer the lower body hard and you’ll mitigate some of that lost progress.

    For real though, not only is that what you’re limited to doing - but don’t discount the healing effect of lifting on the injured parts of your body. The hormonal cascades triggered by resistance training go through your whole body. Even just training one arm when the other’s broken can influence muscle mass retention and overall recovery.

    Wishing you a speedy one, by the way

    Hey, how’s this going for you after all this time? I’m talking to my doctor about it this week.

    Just feel so sluggish and apathetic all the time outside of work hours. It’s hard for me to have the energy to maintain my house let alone consistently work out.

    have been treating my sleep apnea for 6ish months now and it hasn’t changed anything for me. As far as I’m aware I’m not even prediabetic, every time I’ve had blood work done my levels are a little high but not concerning enough to a doctor I guess

    I’m the type of person where I can’t do anything if I don’t wash my hair right after a cut.

    especially after an active activity like cycling! Exerting energy outside and haircuts are the top 2 indications for a shower lol.

    I’m the same way after exercising! If I go for a run I feel like I’m sitting in soup if I don’t shower immediately
