Martin

I met Jonah at an airport luggage carousel once. Canadian celebrities are different.

I'm aiming for 3-4 kg. Ran a 5k a couple of weekends ago and joked to a friend that I was 20 lbs slower than my last one...

I think I'm 7000m. Double this weekend will take it to 15ish. Crap. I'm going to have to do a public swim at some point to make it.

I'm starting my own challenge: swim at least once in January. My training is going well I just can't seem to make it to the pool

I find that visualizing myself going to the pool helps to ensure that I do not actually go to the pool. ("... And then, after stripping down and putting on two inches of Lycra in a cold changing room, imagine yourself walking on cold, wet tiles, and jumping into the water.")

Jumped in the water after recovering from a man cold (and everyone knows man colds are worse than Covid). Coach welcomed me back with a sprint warmup to kill the legs, then 20x100 endurance set.

F that guy.

@idking90 That dog is all of us yesterday morning.

@Martin is my all time favourite. Montreal smoked meat, hand delivered. Even threw in a loaf of rye. 🤤

Seeing @Aaron Webstey walking around in shorts and a red plaid shirt in -6 Celsius was all the thanks I needed.

I'm working on a similar jump in percentage terms: 5 km to 5 miles. I would consult with @Struang. His recent training for long-course events have inspired me.

@Struang Half a dozen sober enough to fire them up. Another dozen that weren't.
