Everybody just cool out...COOL OUT
Monday, April 07, 2008
I'm sure everyone out there is wondering why I have not posted about certain current events. Let's just say that I have resisted this long and things have gone well. Lets just all agree to not discuss anything until around 11:00pm ish CST.
12:17 PM
Personally, i blame Steve Gaines and BBC for the loss!
;)
1:12 PM
I was totally gonna blame Gaines, but you beat me to it.
Actually, I blame the people in my office. We were allowed to "slum" and wear jeans and Memphis t-shirts on Monday. Then, someone was like "well, do we get to wear jeans and Memphis t-shirts tomorrow AFTER THE TIGERS WIN?" I mean, I'm not big into the whole "jinx" thing, but why take that chance? Channel 5 was the worst. Every 5 minutes they would say something along the lines of "well the tigers are just hours away from winning their first national championship." COME ON?!?
You see how it turned out...?
4:54 PM
We were outplayed and outcoached. The best team on the floor won. Big players play big in big games
7:32 PM
Hey, Congrats on the 45lbs also!
10:25 PM
Hey, thanks for noticing about the 45lbs! Since my original (way back) plan was to lose weight to get in shape for basketball, I guess I can move on to phase 2: build endurance for basketball.
Give me some pointers, Memphis...what specific exercises can I do to build endurance? I can outrun anyone on the court, I just can't do it for very long...maybe something HIIT could help me with?
11:18 PM
To build endurance... get a bike and a trainer (this way you can ride at night and watch TV) and ride, ride, ride. Tonight I covered 15 miles in 45 minutes.
HIIT training will do it also, but is really hard to do it by yourself. I think the swimmin ghas helped me if you have pool access, but it helps my breathing.
11:44 AM
You mean a trainer like a dude to train me? Or are we talking about some piece of equipment?
1:12 PM
I am talking about a piece of equipment. Your rear tire fits in it and you can adjust the tension. This was it turns your regular bike into a stationary bike and you can ride without being away from the family, in the rain, the cold or while watching a game!
Check out this site and it will explain it. I shopped around and got mine fro something around $65 I think.
