body is not ready

I went for a run today in the first time in ages. I went for a 5-lap run around a soccer field, which is almost exactly one mile.

Yeah, so I couldn't run the whole way without slowing down to a walk in order to let the nausea subside (I think I'll call it the "Barf of the Weak"). Also around 3rd lap I started to feel that I literally could not lift my legs as high as I could before. So both my muscular and cardio fitness have gone down the drain. Scrap that, I'll admit that on the warm-up jog to the park (distance of <1km) I got a stitch within 300m.

On the way home from the field I did a hill-sprint, which was probably 60m, maybe 1:5 slope (I'm not very good at estimating). I didn't feel particularly bad on that, but it probably wasn't as fast as I was when I was 15. I feel old when I say that LOL.

Fortunately I didn't throw up but I did harbour some shame. I don't think anyone was watching me closely enough to realise how shittily I was doing. So while I was not wallowing in vomit I was wallowing in self pity and general feelings of inadequacy.

Luckily I have every Tuesday "off" for this half-sem, so perhaps I'll make it a thing to run more often. I will probably chuck in some core-strengthening exercises, once I work out a routine.


On the subject of bodies, how the fuck do you get drunk off beer? Having 3 beers is already 1L of carbonated fluid in your stomach. That's a piddling 4.2 standard drinks. If you want to get your daily recommended intake of water through beer, that's 6 beers and 8.4 standard drinks. So even if you deprived yourself of water for the day, and made it up with beer in one hour, you wouldn't get very far. While 8.4 standard drinks is not a trivial amount of alcohol, it is definitely not worth distending your stomach to 50-100% of its capacity (depending on stomach size).

SMUG AS FUCK

JUST GOT MUSE TICKETS WITH ZERO QUEUE FUCK YEAH.

Normal Ticketek site: http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=MUSE13 (screencap)
Fansite link to Ticketek site: http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=MUSEPRE13 (screencap)

The second link can't be found through the Ticketek site, you have to go to the member's page, then click the "if you want your presale tickets, click here".

Muse almost juked me out you know. The second link, up until like 3 minutes before the presale, was a 404. I almost deleted it as a bookmark, but due to faith I kept it as an open tab. mfw it turned out to load a real page.

Anyway the normal Ticketek site doesn't let you order tickets (in case you're reading this post some time after today, and they've updated the site), like any announced concert that hasn't released tickets yet.

SO I'M SMUG AS FUCK COS I GOT ZERO QUEUE, AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE TEARING THEIR HAIR OUT TRYING TO WORK OUT WHY THEY CAN'T ACCESS THE SALES.
