Went running yesterday morning, and decided, once I'd started, that I was going to run the whole thing, no stops. I was really winded, but tried to keep my pace even enough that I didn't out-run (out-jog?) myself. I managed to make it through the mile successfully, and discovered that, even though I'd been running a bit slower than the last few times, I'd completed it in 10:45. Not an impressive feat, until you consider that I'm around #220, and in the last several months, this was only my fourth time running. I'll take the small victory...
Strongman went relatively well, although I had to skip the overhead pressing, which meant I just ended up doing the farmer's frame walk. #260, 1st run (30ft each way, down & back), then #360 for the 2nd, and back down to #310 for the 3rd. Was talking with one of the guys afterwards & we got onto the subject of dating/relationships (he's having some issues with his gf/wife?) & he asked me if I liked (generic description) kind of girl. I asked him why & he said there's a girl at his gym that's single & he'd introduce me if I wanted. First I laughed, then said, "Yes, I do!" (like that type of woman), but then I had to tell him about the mild form of "Rajesh Kuthrapali" selective mutism syndrome I have (figuratively speaking, that is); that I'm fine interacting with anyone, until I find a woman attractive, and then I tend to clam up/get awkward as hell (unless, as with Raj, I'm drunk!). If it weren't so discouraging, it would actually be pretty funny! Anyway, he was saying that I didn't have to worry about that, that he'd do all the talking, etc. I don't know. It would be cool to actually be introduced to someone, rather than trying to meet them on my own. On the other hand, this guy is a monster, & the only way I'm going to get to meet her is to go work out with him, which is going to make me look like a weak little girly-man! Not the best kind of 1st impression one wants to make... Of course, it's unlikely to happen anyway, and even if it does, it'll be a miracle if I don't turn into Raj immediately upon meeting her.
Still, I can dream of a world in which I'm not a total freak/loser, can't I? :-P
