Giant run

Jo and I (and little bit of Emily) went for a giant run just then. I thought it would be about 4 or 5 kms, but I reckon it ended up being closer to 7 or 8 km. We ran non-stop for about 40 minutes. I haven't been for a job in a good while, and I'm starting to feel seedy. I was reading today about the different sorts of fats. Fat makes me feel a bit gross, and I was reading that some sorts of fats are really hard to get rid of. There is this fat called "visceral fat" which lodges itself between all the organs in your stomach. It's what gives people beer bellies.

So apparently I read this paper and I have to run 33kms a week for six months. I will lose 7% of my visceral fat and 8% (or something) of my subcutaneous fat on average across the sample (of one). I reckon they give the fats such disgusting names because they want us to be disgusted and start exercising. Jogging for an hour seems far more appealing than have a belly full of visceral fat, even if you hate exercise.

I give my new regime about three days. Luckily I forget nearly every paper I read in about that long.

  1. I don’t want to know the types of fat you get from eating food in Mexico. The oil just makes your stomach churn with pain, and I’m sure it stays in your system. I’m going to be doing a lot of running.

  2. The food there probably gives you all the types.
