I was more of a basketballer though. but my school use to make us do alot of sports, basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, cricket, rugby, football, cross country/trail running, and all the athletic sports like shotput, discuss, tripple jump, high jump, javalin and hurdles.

I was pretty good at 300m hurdles but i was better at sports were you need to throw shit.

we did it all.

Nice one! Being a Kiwi I love rugby (except for a few weeks every four years - )

Forgive me, I haven't been to Cyprus, but wouldn't the fields there be rock hard?

It's Paphos, i got married thereback in 2003, needless to say am no longer with her so the moral of the story? don't get married in Cyprus .........

I would love to be able to run a half marathon but for 30 i am fucked, seriousley too much drinking amongst other things the last 10 years.

Just started at the gym and 20 mins/1.5 mile is all I can muster on the treadmill man, fucking kills me, though I do cross country, rowing and cycling after that, really need to get rid of these old man moobs (they're not that bad really )

 

[MoonPig]

Anyone been listening to the Radio1 effort?

 

[IndigoGoose]

I was more of a basketballer though.

I went to private school for 8 years so i did a lot of sports
Same i played country for Yeovil Jets (I'm 6 foot 5 )

wouldn't the fields there be rock hard?

Yes in the summer it is horrible almost like concert lol
So we train on astro turf

they play on the beach in the sand

The sand gets too hot to walk on bare foot during July/August time

It's Paphos

Yeah man your right
Cyprus has changed alot in the past ten or so i've been told

I too went to private school for 3 years, but it was a primary not a secondary.
my secondary just had a huge liking to outdoor/indoor sports.

The sand gets too hot to walk on bare foot during July/August time

I know - Ive been to Tunisia, Ive even been to the sahara - it gets so hot they gotta leave wooden boards out on the sand for people to walk on,

I'm 31 & only started running when I was 29. I'd not done any exercise since I gave up rugby 7 years earlier (back injury). Anyone can do it, it's just the motivation that is hard. Signing up for a run helps with that a bit. I too started with 15 min runs. I also married my love of tech with my exercise. Got myself a Garmin GPS HR monitor watch to track it all.

should have got one with a beacon/tracking device that alerts the emergency services and guides them to your location just incase you have a heart attack (i shouldnt laugh -- some day I too will turn 31 )

You guys should get down to NZ (or Aus to a lesser extent). It's only ~25°C but because we have no ozone layer you get burned in less than 15mins.

Yea i know right- i have heard countless times of Americans and other countries (but mainly Americans - sorry guys) say that "well England is only an island"...

I WISH i was joking. I really do.

(count me in)

lol funny... the sun never set on the british empire (back when it existed)

count me in

[Spectrum]

[IndigoGoose]

[FreedomEclipse]

[IndigoGoose]

[Spectrum]

to help you understand the heat draw better... visualise the following in your head
you start up furmark
you forget to turn fan up from 30%
graphics card reaches 100c
you smell a burning smell
you look at your shirt, the heat given off has caused it to combust.
