BFP

Naw, I'm not tombout a Big Fuckin' Peridontal.....I'm tombout Body Fat Percentage. Had mine checked last week. Your boy is sittin at %19. I was like %12-%12.5 when I graduated highschool (60 lbs. ago) %19 percent is in the normal/acceptable ranges on all of the charts that I have seen, but it isn't where I wanna be.

Maybe my highschool percentage is unobtainable, maybe not, but I am gonna strive to get there. I want to atleast get to %15. So, yeah, your boy is still training. I fell outta my good workout routine and healthier eating regiment due to the Sobe Vacay (Well worth it too....next union of the Crew: Florida Classic in Orlando, but I'm back up on it. Back to swallowing down that oatmeal and shit. Back to training. Trying to get comfy with running on the treadmill. It is hella hard after running for a couple weeks at the track. (On the track I can continuously adjust my speed to fit how I'm feeling. That treadmill is does not adjust to shit well and it is a pain in the ass to have to keep hitting buttons.) Anyway.....

I'm still trying to stick to the early challenge made by e-dot about the Marathon joint. Maybe not in a year....maybe year after next so that I can make sure my body is propperly conditioned. I do plan on doing little races here and there as milestones. Like I am so trying to rn in a 5K in the Fall...maybe a 10 K in the spring....I really would like to do the Muddy Buddy race in O-town next spring/summer time. Maybe a Triathalon Sprint in there somewhere.

Anyway...where is the rest of the team on the little running commitment we made?

You gotta walk before you run

Yeah, a wise old man once said that. And that shit is the truth.....especially if you are a heave as hell ass nigga like myself (Don't worry, white people, y'all's heavy asses gotta walk before you run too).

Yeah man, so I'm starting to get ready to begin training for the Marathon that E-dot proposed about a month ago. He said this is gonna be his way to defeat his consistantly inconsistant ass. Yeah, dude aint said shit about the Marathon since either. Ol' non committing yellow ass.

Anyway, I'm heavy than a sumbitch. 260lbs. That's especially heavy for me to only be 5'9". Your boy is just plain out not built for the running thing. I have ran before...well, tried to get into a little running groove. Gotten up to a slow slow mile and a half a few times a week. It always sucked. Chin splints like no ones business, sore knees and legs and all that horrible stuff. Jumpin into the running was just rough on the body. And running Marathons is way more worser. So, this time around I am going to take my time and ease into the running. I be walking.

Yep, on the treadmill in the gym. That's right. Some people want to clown you for walking on the treadmill. Let a sumbitch come and try to clown the BULLY about shit and watch him get mushed.

But yeah, I am gonna take time, build up my muscles and connective tissues, get my leg bone density start to creep up before I just jump into the running thing. If my body is prepared for the runing it will be much easier for it to completely adapt to it and will make my running experience that much more enjoyable.

So, for all yall other heavy mofos...take it easy in the beginning then get into it.

And for everyone else that is gonna train to do the marathon with Team Diesel make sure you pace your trianing right.

Take care of your body. You only have one.
