 One of these days I'll get back into Shape! Here it is ladies and gents...
Have you not left the side of your computer in over 6 months?
Do you get mad when you live on the fifth floor and the elevator keeps breaking? (No wait...that's just me)
Do you job a mile a day but have been gripped by the urge to run a Marathon by late Feb?
Do you bike? (You know who you are :wink: )
Talk about Pain....HERE.
When the lactic acid in your muscles has overwhelmed you to the point where you can do little more than use the typing fingers of your left hand.
Write about it here.
BTW, I stopped exercising after Philly in 2002 pretty much. But I just got some sneakers...be very afraid.

Hmm.. by getting into shape does that mean good cardio shape or lean, strong muscles? Cuz haven't really hit cardio in some time but been doing the usual stuff to stay lean and fit. But yea gotta get into the mode of doing more exercising as well, unfortunately getting cold here fast.

Don't be scared getting into shape because of the initial pains. Only the first two weeks are really hard, after that it is easy sailing... You just have to keep your training routine up... :wink:
BTW, I'm biking hard since April (A little bragging is in order here: So far, it amounted to about 3,800 miles, and counting...) and I'm switching back to my winter routine (less biking, more running, even more weight training and an occasional skiing trip to the Adirondacks)... So, I tried a couple of crunches yesterday, while watching Yankees - Bosox game, and let me tell you, even though I'm in a great shape, I'm still feeling my abs today...

I live in Murray Hill, so I usually ride on the bike-way around Manhattan, start at 34th, all the way down to Battery Park and up the West Side to Inwood Hill Park... It is more pleasant then Central Park, scenery changes more often, and I can rack up 50-60 miles in no time... But if I need a quick 30 mile training ride, 4-5 laps in CP will do just fine, although you probably won't see me there on weekend, way too many casual riders, at least during summer, to enjoy really hitting it hard... :wink: :wink: :wink:
Sometimes, I venture over the GWB to NJ, or over the Brooklyn Bridge through local streets to the Prospect Park....
A couple of weeks ago we had a "NYC Century" ride... All over NYC, 115 miles in a nice pleasant tempo in little over 6 hours... Can't wait for the next year...
I'm also planning to do some mtb. biking in Colorado for two weeks, or so... Some epic, multi-day rides, like 'The Colorado Trail' or/and maybe 'Durango - Moab'... Could be fun... :wink: :wink: :wink:

I really should be getting back into shape. I've gained like 20 pounds over the past year.

I work out 3 times a week,
Once for chest,
Once for back/shoulders,
Once for arms.
I am thinking about adding a day where I max chest. But am undecided. Can't wait for spring break 
I drink alot too does that count as working out ... i do have to lift the beer after all? :wink:
