Hawaii, April 8th (and 9th?) - Aloha Stadium! - Part X

[Thora]

Hi u2forlife and everyone else that has just come in!

I wish I could still be at home and in bed. Ah well, that's what tomorrow is for.

 

[Carmelu2fan]

Yeah, no news but we should hear something soon.

I am soooo hoping to hear something soon

I went to Wal-Mart and bought all the little mini's...

toothpaste
hand wipes
lotion
body spray
soap
deodorant

Hey ThoraSEB

You are a trooper! Hanging out in the Hawaii thread even though your plans have changed

Jules, hope you feel better soon. After that bitter cold in Boston, I thought more people would have been on their deathbead afterwards. l: It was FREEZING. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy any ass-heat from Kevin. I guess that was reserved for only special people But we did have a, "Hey aren't you...?" moment.

 

[Thora]

I enjoy hanging out here - it makes me laugh. May as well hang out here with you guys.

You never know - something could happen, and it might be possible to go at the last minute. There's always hope!

 

[Lila64]

that's the spirit Thora

I was great up until this point. Had my flu shot when it first came out. Now my head feels like it's going to explode and I have this hacking cough. Blah!

I'd request some ass-heat from Kevin but I don't think my boyfriend would really like that too much.

Yes it was fun meeting everyone that came to Boston.

 

[ramblin rose]

Where'd everyone go?
You people act like you have jobs!!

Rose, I know you're out there.

It was lunchtime. Went to the Chinese buffet. I see I didn't miss any dramas.

Soon, soon.

OT: Started working out with a personal trainer yesterday. He did do a good job, because my legs are killing me. For anyone here who are regulars at the gym, do you think it's worth it?

ThoraSEB, I do hope things change for you in the future so that you will be able to make it.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I'm signing up for a yoga class next week to see what it's like. If that doesn't work out(I'm sure it will), I'm going to go back to kickboxing.

 

[Miroslava]

I've never worked out with a personal trainer as far as "workouts" go. You'll be surprised to hear this, but I am not very good at being told what to do

I do have my kickboxing guy, but when he tells me something I don't like, I actually get to punch him or the pads harder, so no worries there

*wonders if he will be bringing his headgear tonight*

I wear headgear when we spar and he doesn't so I pull my punches and the fucker doesn't. Well, I pull them MOST of the time

Jules what kind of kickboxing did you use to do? actual kickboxing with wraps, gloves, etc. or more like Taebo?

 

[u2forlife]

Yeah, I saw the kickboxers working out in the gym. They are defintely getting a good workout. I'm just starting out. I can't even run. I tried running 2 minutes on the treadmill and I just about thought I bit the big one.

 

[Thora]

I worked with a trainer for about a month, just to get myself started, and now I'm back on my own again. It was great motivation to get things on the right track, but I much prefer working out on my own.

If you find it hard to be motivated by yourself, and can afford it, then definitely go for it!

 

[Miroslava]

Well as for my workouts, I try to do more cardio than weights.

Right now I am doing

1. About a mile and half jogging (which is about 13 minutes for me)
2. 10-15 minutes in the elliptical
3. 10-15 minutes on the bike
4. Weight machines. Mostly arms and legs. Do about 3-4 sets of 20 on each machine (about 6 or 7 machines) with quite a bit of weight.

But I'd kickbox everyday if Tom was available.

Noooooooooo, really?

My overall fitness abilities aside, doing GA in a stadium is a great motivator. My GA sprint in Dublin didn't go so well

Great advice there ThoraSEB. he is kinda cute and I do love the massage session after the workout. Might have answered my own question.

 

[U2Girl1978]

It was cardio kickboxing. We did it with wraps and we also jump roped too.

 

[Miroslava]

But did you get to punch things?

 

[U2Girl1978]

Does punching the air count?


I remember we did the bag once. That was fun!

 

[Miroslava]

No

So why the wraps? I mean, they do look cool

I have a bag in my garage.

 

[u2forlife]

Hey I did not know you had a birthday..Happy belated Birthday I wish I could come to NYC and hang out with you.What are you going to do? Have a nice cocktail for me.

Thanks Carmelu2fan

Currently, I am just showing up. I was told by my friend that she's planning everything and I'm to just to arrive at a certain time. She's making all the calls and arrangements. There will be lots of drinky drinks there I'll definitely have a cocktail (or two) for you.

Hey what does Sir Clayton like to drink? I'm sure you would know. I'll have one for him too!

I'm not sure since it was so long ago. I miss doing it!

Yeah, I tried running 2 minutes on the treadmill and I just about thought I bit the big one.

Run 2 minutes every day and you will be surprised how quickly 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes will be easy.

I ran regularly until 2004 and started with one mile (exhausting). Within a month (7 days in a row @ a mile then every other day) I was doing 6 miles at a 7 minute/mile pace.

Now, I have other, ehem, more important things to do.

 

[Miroslava]

No drinks for Adam...

 

[ramblin rose]

I'm getting tired just hearing about all this exercising.

I used to be a runner in high school. I miss doing that.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the advice

Good god man, you must have the most amazing legs after running so much

Do those others things include poker?

 

[u2forlife]

No drinks for Adam...

Oh that's right. Oh well, I'll just have a cocktail for everyone then

 

[Miroslava]

When did you start drinking?

Oh this tour has been a bad influence

 

[Thora]

I used to run as well, and loved it. I ran on the track team in high school.

I've just started working out again in the last 6 months, and my goal is to run in a 10k next April. It's something I've always wanted to do, and I'm sure I'll be able to do that in 2007.

Which dude is hotter? The one on the left or right?

I can honesty say that the one on the right...

Kelly, stealing from you again!
