I wouldn't jump to the conclusion it was an insult. There is blood all over his face and beard.
I got called a convict today. but i'm Australian so most likely i'm descended from convicts so maybe its genetic?
the more you know!I am descended from convicts, at least two of them. My GGGGrandmother was a bed warmer/servant for the ship's surgeon. Once she fell pregnant he sent her back to the female factory. Much nobility shown there! Her daughter married another convict and thus my mother's line began.
the more you know!
Where is everyone?

PoE. It has me.
Last Saturday i decided it would be a good idea to (finally) do a 4km run again. Had been almost a year since i did that. Didn't go all that bad (just under 23 mins). But i guess my body thinks i'm getting old because it's now 2 days later and i still feel some of my muscles. Should be nice when i'm gonna play badminton tonight.

@RadTang Perhaps you should try? Just start off slow and with a doable distance. Personally i get more satisfaction out of going faster on a shorter distance, rather than doing a longer distance. Which is why i'm more comfortable with 2 km. Takes less time and you can try to push yourself more.
The clue to enjoy running and keep doing it, is to take it slow. You should only run at about 70% - 75% of your maximum heart rate, unless you are doing intervals or a speed run. Pushing yourself is good once you are in good shape, to build up endurance, but even then not too often, unless you are really training for a short race.
What really helps me to enjoy running, is to avoid hard surfaces all together, and go running in the woods instead. Lovely to enjoy the surroundings that way. I started out with 10K to 10M runs (I was still playing soccer back then, so didn't start from scratch), and no my longest distance so far has been 53K. It's just a matter of building up slowly.
Something that works for a lot of people is to listen to music while running. I usually don't do this, but it might help you.
