Getting Big....

“I put this thread under the gear catagory and for a good reason. Our bodies are our most important and expensive piece of gear. If you don't keep it clean and feed it the right fuel, it will become clogged and have less then optimum performance.

As you all know I am a distance runner and a fairly good one to boot (4:49 mile time), but what you don't know is that I am not an athlete. In fact before last Friday I was far from athlete statis. Yet I am taking strides to become one.

Since Friday of last week I started my jurney to become an athlete. I was never an athlete before, because all I did was run, but I never took care of my bodie. Now I am building my upper body and abs which will help me run faster, but more important, look better and feel better. Don't get me wrong, I have allways had a 8 pack stomack from running, but with no chest or arms I looked pritty funny. I maybe trying to bulk up more now that I am also trying to put an effort in to laddies.

With assistance from my commercial art teacher (black belt in junio and other karate styles) I am getting much larger. In one week I look a little bigger and I feel great. My CA teacher has me eating 8 times aday, 20 grams of protien at each sitting and 1/2 a gallon of milk, in combination with 3 quarts of water a day.

I feel great and can't wait for the summer.”

“I always thought the fastest runners were like stick men with little muscle mass to weigh them down.”

“Keep strokin' it Tea.”

“That is almost true. Kenyans are tall and skinny, but they are ugly. A joke on my team when the new track and field mag comes out we all look at the cover and guess who the winner of the race was. We all point at the ugliest guy in the race, and most of the time he is the winner.

However, Prefontain was built.”

“Joe Weider here you come.”

“Kenyans are beautiful. Republicans are ugly.”

“...and I thought for sure this thread was started by our new troll, Mr. Peter Glideswell.....”

“LMAO - Peter Glideswell!”

“Ice Tea, kenyans are not tall, they are relatively short by western standards. Keep in mind that every pound of unnecessary weight you carry (be it muscle or fat) it costs your body approximately 1% of efficiency. For a competetive runner that is the difference between 1st and 2nd (the first losers).”

“Maybe I did not make my point entirely clear. I want to get stronger so I look better. So when I go to the beach I attract more attention. Basicaly.”

“Ice Tea=Horndog Jr.”

“Ice Tea..I didn't know you were a distance runner.I thought you hiked like the rest of us. :~ )”

“I forgot when it was. It is pretty interesting fresh my old doddering mind.”

“Tea I hate to be the one to break it to ya but....

to get womens attention you need to beat your face with an ugly stick, get a few tattoos , drive a motorcycle and generally treat women badly. Dont ask me why it works. Women only seem to want guys that look like ex cons and so on.”

“Tea , I'll add to DOM's post. If women have a choice between muscles and the skinny guy with a fat wallet, they'll go for the guy with the fat wallet.”

“dude, i hate to break it to ya, but after one week you're no bigger. your muscles are swollen because they're not used to being used like that. you don't see results that fast.
if im wrong, tell me your secret.”

“Richb, you should write a book, you know soooo much about women. ;)

Ice Tea, do it for yourself.

Ductape, congratulations on keeping up with your program. You're looking great.”

“(snort!)

Heh, heh. I thought you went and bought a pecker-stretcher, lol!”

“Let's try to keep our priorities straight here people. After all, Tea is first and foremost a teenage boy and The Girl is paramount. Good luck Tea.

Lol, and go get 'er Tiger.”

Dude, I'm a little worried about you getting interested in the "Laddies".”

“Ice tea is a scottish gay man?”

“Hmmmm, tea in a kilt...

Im sorry I just cant.... tooo funny!”

“Not that there's anything wrong with that....”

“Is your right arm bigger than your left arm and you're trying to balance it out? Switch off from time to time!”

“Dodder, I am doing a coupl races this year. The first is a half-marathon trail run called "Dances with Dirt", the second definite one is the "Benchmark Appalachian Adventure" in Shawnee Ohio June 28th. I will prolly do 1-2 shorter races prior to june sorta as "shakedowns".”

“"Is your right arm bigger than your left arm and you're trying to balance it out? Switch off from time to time!" Rosey

They don't call Rosey Fiddler Crab for nothing you know!”

“Did I here you say that they were four man teams in one of these races? If so, how much do you have to do. That half-marathon stuff is a #&%!$ and especially when you are doing it on trails. I guess the names fit..I guess some people get their faces in the dirt on that one. Does Sass do these things also? Well, you go man and I'll lift a six or two to ya. Good luck to ya.”

“Dodder, all of the races I do have single through 4 person teams. I generally prefer solo out of convenience but think it would be coll for a TT team to show. Check out www.hfpracing.com (click on multisport) for more info. Most of their races are 4-6miles running 12 biking 1-2 kayak plus mystery events.

Sass doesnt particpate in my races but is a HUGE support and motivator in my training. She is one helluva cheerleader come race day too.Without her I would prolly not compete.

Speaking of lifting a "six or two" I cancelled my big run this week (tonite) to drink beer and chill out. I will run outside tommorrow, gonna be in the 50's!!!”

“Either way, wishfull thinking/dreaming or just steched and puffy muscles, I feel better.”

“Rock on dude!!! Chicks are like, well, uh, whatever. Work out for yourself, you will feel better and stronger. Hey, don't forget to throw in some push-ups, they are great for those hard to work areas just inside the pocket of your shoulder.”

“Does Sass wear a cheerleader uniform? That'll give u alot of motivation. :o)”
