Tremendous Accomplishment...for me.

I don't like the word you guys use for discussing things of this nature so I chose tremendous accomplishment instead haha. Anywho, this morning I told myself that I wanted to try and run/jog up my driveway. It's not very far, maybe a hundred yards or a little less perhaps. So I put on my shoes, stretched for a second or two, and headed out the door. And I started jogging (not full out running, but it felt like running for me) and only stopped once at the end of the drive to walk a little and breathe haha. Then I turned around and jogged back. So to me, after not having been able to run since my mid-teens or so, that's a very tremendous accomplishment. I did, however, feel like my moobs were going to take my eyes out, but I need to get some of that under armour stuff. Anyway, thanks for listening!

First of all, in my mind that's quite an accomplishment.  Secondly, although I personally haven't posted any F.A.R.T.s, someone should post what the acronym stands for.  You may appreciate it more.  And, it's another way some of the men here try to discourage women from coming onto our forum.  Thirdly, a driveway that's 100 yards long is quite impressive to me since I've lived most of my life in tract developments.  My current town is a Levittown development.  A driveway that long sounds like something out in the country.  I'd be pooped just walking it.

No, I know what it stands for. I just have a thing about the word itself. I'm very OCD and particular with certain things. No offense to anyone else on this site, I (love/like/appreciate? whatever the appropriate straight male term is) all you guys here.

Call it what you will...it's still pretty stinky CB

Yeah... I can even smell that one way over here!  Great Job   Speaking of moobs, I'm not looking forward to those things flapping everywhere!  If I remember correctly FART stands for Fantastic Awsome Remarkable Time

The moobs are killin' me!! I hate wearing T-shirts b/c of the titties flopping around everywhere. I look like a woman who just had a baby (losin' belly, gaining titties). That needs to GO lol

There is no competition here.  We try to push each other to expand our limits and get healthy.  For one guy that means doing a marathon...for another it means being able to walk around a Walmart without stopping.  For me it's getting out and bike riding to the store or getting up on the roof and pruning the branches that are hanging against the house (be careful when your up there guys).  It really is the little goals that mean the greatest to us.  And only people who have been in our shoes can get a bit of that feeling, of where we've been.  Brian

Your comment "And only people who have been in our shoes can get a bit of that feeling, of where we've been." is what makes the Locker Room a special place for me.   It is nice to be able to "talk" with guys who understand what these changes are like.  People who have not had this experience just don't understand what the little achievements can  really mean and the changes in our lives.
