Re: IMCT Running Club
never had a good metabolism myself. i used to be skinny but that was by effort not design
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: IMCT Running Club
That's my general plan. I eat like godfuck right now so when the weight actually starts staying on instead of jumping off when given any chance to, I will just lay off the cookie dough and up my mileage a little.Dr. Medulla wrote:Yup.

And for the record, the weight that leaves me first is muscle. I'll spend two months getting up to a certain weight/strength, not go to the gym for two weeks, and be back to where I was 2 1/2 months earlier.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Question: would you want to spend any time in close proximity to Wolter's brain? The neanderthal metal, Thor comics, and Bea Arthur masturbatorial fantasies make up a mental stew unsafe for anyone outside the old Confederacy.BostonBeaneater wrote:You can fly around on gutterpoet's brain thing.

Tied my best time on my bike this morning—47 min, 07 sec on a 21.5 km route, which works out to about 27.4 kph. Helps that for the first time all summer there was no wind from any direction. Probably sweated about four pounds in the heat, tho. If it hadn't been so damn hot, I would have gone for a second lap.

(My first ever bike was a banana-seat. Red, with a red and glittering seat. I think I managed to go about five months before it was stolen.)
