Faster than Ever: Loco runs a sub5 Mile
Blood work came back with excellent results. I am healthier at 35 than I was at 19!!! If you guys remember from my old log, I was in pretty bad shape healthwise about a year ago. Cholesterol off the roof, sleeping like a lion, no energy, and huffing and puffing my way through life.
Fast forward almost a year ago, and here are the results
Total cholesterol 123 mg/dL (60%+ decrease!!!)
Triglycerides 133 mg/dL (67%+ decrease!!!)
Total testosterone 650 ng/dL
free tesosterone 15 pg/dL
I did it by getting active and moving weight for many reps. You can find all the info in my old log.
So what's the goal now? Well the problem is I am 5'10" and I tip the scales at a measely 155 pounds. So I am basically this guy
That was never the plan, that guy looks like a fagboy. Its time for a new plan,
I don't like yogurt, it tastes rotten. But this thing is fine
23g protein 140cals $1.50
It crushes the best protein bars for protein/cals ratio.
No.
USA#1. 9th and 10th grade. I feel like that's where I can make a difference. Cross country and math and some bilingual education. Just give back a little, I had some darn good teachers. I'd be a Cholo without them.
I had one teacher in 4th grade that I now flash back and realize she moved over to 5th grade and got me again. I don't think it was coincidence. She was there during the spelling bee championship crying fiasco
damn bro, glad you had some good experiences. I didn't really get memorably good educators until I was around 19.
When you have a relatively shitty home life, a teacher who believes in you can make a huge difference. USA has a lot of kids with shitty home life so I can see why you would want to teach there; Middle East/Asia is where you go to make money but generally you make a smaller difference because families are more intact and functional overall.
Protein bars are universally donk food. Yogurt/cottage cheese/shakes if you need protein convenience food. Never seen a protein bar that wasn't overloaded with cals for how minimally satiating it is.
Not sure that tracks with teaching physics and calculus. Most USA#47 kids aren't taught those things until later. If you're stuck on those subjects, Asia might need to be where you need to go. Now if we can interest you in some algebra, geometry and possibly chemistry, then we're in business.

I didn't realize how good I ran until I graduated high school and talked to people from other places. Didn't have a single bad teacher in high school and most were first ballot HOFers. Even prior to that, I can't remember any bad ones.
My first experience with shitty teachers is with my own kids.
Been lifting and running. Had a 7 mile run in California and it was 9:40 pace. Fat, Cut. Diet coming along slowly, just adding simple rules. No chips and salsa unless fresh made tasty salsa. No rolls at cheddars/roadhouse/etc etc. Went to a fancy steakhouse and split a fish. Etc etc.
Here is the damage report 171lb body

That's worse than it looks. Gotta be 34"+ at navel and ldl cholesterol definitely around 100 even with a 20mg statin. I am going to see if I can get it to 60 with the weightloss and statin. If it doesn't work, probably need to stack statin with pcsk9 inhibitor, but that's pricey.
Fat, cut indeed, though your diet rules sound reasonable and I'm sure you'll get back to true ant status in no time.
This cholesterol level talk reminds me that my physical got skipped last winter because of some doctor's office shenanigans and I'm not due back until December - pretty interested if my cholesterol has gone down any further (~LDL 65 on 5 mg).
Thanks guys, it was a long time coming to knock out some of these goals.
Mostly recovered today, ran a couple of miles yesterday with slight calf pain on the nonproblem leg. On Tuesday I did upperbody and today planning to hit a light lowerbody session.
It was probably my favorite marathon of all time. It started off with some Jay Z new york new york action followed by Sinatra. Then the national anthemn, followed by the gun. I was
An oldie but a goodie; hopefully Monumental goes as much to plan as this one did (obviously I will be nowhere close to sub-3, but still).
Small steps yugo. Exercise you enjoy. Good food selections you enjoy. I have no choice, I have to bring back salads, soups, ceviche, steak and veggies, etc etc etc. Slowly we can beat out this YTFian habitddiction.
Yeah. I really should use YTF as inspiration. I do think about him sometimes and wish he had stuck with H&F forever. Maybe he'd have dodged a couple more health scares, I dno.
Well, there are two of you now, so 342lbs imo.
23 miles this week and a few lifting sessions. Building a little momentum but I was in California and that weather always solid.
Diet getting better too. Went back to the chick fil a two egg white grills and damn, that keeps you full for a while. 600 cals and 57g protein. Filling.
there's a marathon in china where sections run on the great wall
you'd probably hate it but worth checking out and you can go hang out with evo while you are there
never watched this vid but figured you may be interested
Sydney marathon was this weekend. iirc you were going to do it?
The route has changed from when I ran it and it now finishes at the Opera House as opposed to the Olympic stadium. Which should make it less hilly that it was. It’s grown though - 25k runners now. iirc only about 4000 back then (2002)
Pretty cool that they close the harbour bridge for a few hours though - memorable experience running across that. And then running through the nightclub district at 7.30-7.45am on a Sun is fun…seeing all the stragglers falling out of the clubs wearing sunglasses
