Hi Stephen,
I thought I just mention kettlebell training as an alternative for your training if running and walking is a little difficult right now.

With KBs you don’t need to go anywhere, in fact you can train in your backyard or any open space and get good results in a small period of time.

Anyway, I hope you get better soon.

Cheers

I will never be a Craig Alexander, but it’s okay. Many kilos to go on the weight loss before it all feels truly comfortable, but I am making progress.

First race (very short) probably late November.

[…] fact, telling my tale inspired me to start getting fit again and to deal openly with a number of issues in my life. […]

Yep, can’t help myself, I do some fairly comprehensive logging of my activities.

Weight, % Fat, Temperature, km’s run, shoes, type of run.

Recently participated in an AIS study and got my VO2Max score, so I may even get a heartrate monitor soon.

Been trying a few websites this year that track progress but none of them are up to the PC application I use. Have been experimenting with Daily Mile the last couple of weeks and it seems reasonable, but not geeky enough for serious runners.

Great that you managed to do the run — and, most importantly, with the family. Get back on the wagon, my friend.

Awesome stuff brother, making it happen is part of acquiring the right mind set i.e. The two go hand in hand!!

So are all the palm leaves to hide all the heart attach victims from the view of the general public? :P

Go for it!

Awesome Stephen
My father died at 39; I went through the same I’ve got to be fit, and at that age I was arguably as fit as at any time in my entire life.

I’ve also fallen off the wagon since; ‘too busy’ organising the events in which inspired people can compete. This July however I signed on with Dry July, to raise fund for cancer research; the ‘deadly dancer’ responsible for both my parents early demise.

Your tale will surely drive me back to ‘paddling’ my Finn ski, and we’ll see what happens from there — my MTB is far too unused also.

Glad to have you back in the ‘Ironman’ family!

The event awaits — ironically 2010 it its 10th anniverary!
