Track workouts hurt the most for me. It’s the most honest form of gauging your run pace, and it plain hurts.
Don’t be bashful, throw your whine in the hat.
I make up all of my own workouts. If I torture myself with butterfly sets, I don’t think I have any right to complain about my shoulders feeling raw. If I choose to run 20mi, I’ll enjoy having sore legs rather than whine about it.
Biking, on the other hand… I’m sore from biking, which I am doing only because something doesn’t feel right in my knee. So I’ll whine that MY KNEE HURTS!
Track workouts are very painful but my health club used to have rowing contests which lasted for 9-11 minutes and those were the toughest workouts I have ever done. Don’t miss those contests.
The winds were sucking out of the north today at about 40 mph. I wimped out on my planned 7 mile run and only ran 4. Wah, wah, wah…
Rained all day today so I skipped my run. It just shouldn’t be allowed to rain on days that I have a run planned. Whaaaahhh.
sore from yoga last night, my hammies were tight form a run I did earlier, and my shoulders/triceps couldn’t handle the session… damn flabbie girl arms…
I hate when people WHINE! They sound french!
Alot of “suckitup” will go a long way!
I get it, we are supposed to whine. Well, I rode the Airdyne today for 35 minutes (planned on 55 minutes) and then played a couple of guys in HORSE. I lost, but whined that I would have won if I didn’t have such a bad cold. If I only had taken some supplements or multi-vitamins I’m sure I would have administered a good whup-ass on them.
I have a cold and I haven’t worked out since Thursday… and I am like 9+ months out from IMCA. TIME TO PANIC!
aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I’m taking my ‘off-season’ right now. Yeccch! I hate it.
Yay! I’m going to end it with a nice easy mountain ride this Sunday, weather permitting.
Breath deep y’all. This is therapy.
I’m old and I’ll feel sore and tired most of the time.
I still hate flipturns and chlorine does not agree with my skin. Dammit it is starting to get cold and I hate getting out of the pool when it is cooooooold. (real bad whining voice right there)
I hate the initial dive into the cold water more than I hate getting out. At least when you get out, you can go for a nice hot shower.
“I flatted twice today while riding, got stung by a bee, shreaded my calf, and threw my bike in the sand (as there are no lava rocks around)…sniff sniff”
.
I ate chips and a burrito last night. Along with 2 beers. Another burrito today for lunch and pizza for dinner. It’s like this every day for two months. I can’t quit and have no desire to train. I blame Schonner.
I hate that it is dark out by the time I leave work now. Last night I ran in the dark with a friend, but wah wah wah I like the light and warmth, not cold and dark! It is cold and dark when I get up early to do a workout before work too(which hasn’t been often lately but soon enough this “off season” thing will be over and that “base training” phase will kick in)…boo hoo!
I hate swimming. Hate it. Suck at it and am humiliated by it. I hate people that are good swimmers.
I remember seeing a South Korean Special Operations officer beat the tar out of an enlisted guy. He fully Kung-Fu’ed the guy right in formation. When I asked someone standing by who spoke Korean what was going he told me the enlisted man wa being beaten becasue he “complained of the cold”.
My patrol leader told us, “No complaining- it doesn’t benefit anyone and it brings everyone down. We’re all cold… Complaining doesn’t help”.
He was right.
I don’t know if I agree, TD.
I NEVER complain out loud, I barely let myself complain inside my head…
It might be a bit cathartic to have a semi-anonymous group whining session once in a while!
WTF???
the whiner thread should be entirely in French!
