Back Problems
For no apparent reason I woke up with chronic back pain again on Sunday. What started out as irritable stiffness soon turned in to all out back spasms by Wednesday morning.
This isn’t the first time I have had this and as some of you may well know the first thing that people like to point the finger at is the type of exercise I do.
This time it was nothing more than sleeping in a funny...

Fitblr shirts
A few people have asked where I got my fitblr T-Shirt from since I posted my last photo and I have to be honest I made it myself. I was running through Central Park and there were so many other runners and I thought to myself.
“I wonder if he/she has a tumblr and if they are a fitblr or runblr”
Anyway seeing as people were asking I put some of spreadshirt if you want to get one.

My run for Boston
I went and joined Chris and Jess for a run around Central Park not only was this my run for Boston it was also my first run since January!
I’m so glad to be back out there. It was hard work and my Sinus gave my some pain after the first mile and a half but it has been much better than it has been.
2.75 miles in 24:52. Slow and steady.

Thoughts
As a runner I feel we have lost our innocence today.
As a community we will show that we cannot be broken.

Boston
These are people who I run with at the park, stand on street corners with watching others run. Shouting and cheering together.
There is no place in this world for these actions.
My thoughts go out to everyone who was running today and for the friends and family of the innocent victims.

Pushing your boundaries
Have you ever thought to yourself ‘No. I wont ever be able to do that’?
I know I have. Many times.
A situation came up on Tuesday which I thought would give me a good excuse to skip the gym and go home and relax instead. Three words which have worried me more then any others I have seen in the past 2 years of doing CrossFit.
Handstand Pushup Progression.
I don’t know about...

CrossFit Improvements
Since I threw my back out last year, the day after doing a heavy deadlift WOD, I have been very wary of doing any sort of heavy deadlift. Spending the last 12 months concentrating on the ‘first pull’ in other lifts to practice my technique, starting position and making sure I don’t arch my back.
I can safely say that I think this type training has paid off. Last year I managed...

Sometimes Rob stands at the window of my office and does this.
It’s both flattering and unnerving. “TAKE A PICTURE, ROB, IT’LL LAST LONGER” *double snaps fingers*
Sometimes I like to freak Chris out a little..

Good day, fellow Runblr/Fitblr (delete where appropriate),
Do you have a Garmin? Do you have a Tumblr?

I discovered that Garmin Connect has created a new Group function, so I thought I would create one specifically for all of you lovely Runblrs.
I’ve also included Cycling and everything else Garmin records, so you can share all of your workouts in...

I stumbled across a twitter conversation today between our very own runningwithpump and xpltvdeleted today.
Well it looks like the gauntlet has been thrown and we have ourselves a little in house (in tumblr) competition.
