thats gotta be the poorest excuse ive ever heard.

It may have got a weld... Still need to make a cross brace then weld on hinges. Buy a 50 by 100 steel post a slide bolt and we're in business.

Went for my 5km run this morning.

Finished in precisely the same time as last week, 25:51.

Good effort , did 12.40 km in 1:00.11 this morning , I go out before it gets to hot , other wise it's just kak man going out later in the day

Nice! I actually don't like running so I have to force myself to do it, and I've never been much of a long distance runner . Now I'm going to have to start running 2 - 3 times a week instead of once, and that's on top of the other training I do =/.

5km is my maximum distance though, for my needs I don't have a reason to go any longer and I'm not interested in running marathons.

Thanks mate , personal belief is , that for general fitness , and for weight management , running cannot be beaten , I'm not keen on marathons either, I do other training during the week , and twice a week do the running thing .

Yep, I totally agree with you! My primary training is a power lifting routine, but that doesn't achieve what running achieves. I think walking for long periods everyday is also very important for your general health and fitness - especially if you work at a desk job.

One thing I do believe people neglect with running though, is short distance sprinting. So, heading down to a track or an oval, marking out 100m, and doing sets of 100, 200 or 400m at full speed for time, with rest in between. You might only fit in 5 400m runs, and it might only take 25-30 minutes with rest time, but I guarantee your next 10km run will be slightly better for it .

With all that said, I've also been neglecting the sprinting... but once I figure out how to fit in with my routine I'll be putting it on one of my running days.

So my street is closed because of what I believe were shots fired, and someone got stabbed...

Brilliant.

Bet it was muslims

Nah, they're just a pack of ferals. The whole family who lives there is. I just heard them walk past after the police interviewed them, here are a few snippets of conversation:

"I'm not the one who got stabbed" "Except in the arse"
"I hope they don't find my bong"
"I need to get some stuff out of the house" "You can't, mum, it's a crime scene."

I should clarify, it's not my whole street, just the section a couple of houses up from me where it all went down.

Nothing like an exciting night.
