I’m Fucking Ben Affleck

Here’s Jimmy Kimmels response to Sarah Silverman Fucking Matt Damon. I think Jimmy wins.

Week 7 - Running up the km

So we have now completed 7 weeks of training for our big run and have only 4 weeks to go. This week was the biggest week for me and Gav in terms of Km run. It was a good week with a lot of km before the big 12km run to end the week. Next week we have a huge 15km to do and after the 12km on Saturday I am still not feeling 100% as I have done something to my calf so I am taking a few days to rest and get back to full fitness. You really can not miss many training sessions or you will not feel good especially when trying to do a 15km run. After I had 2 weeks off I felt that I really was behind the others and have had trouble catching up so I am hoping to only miss one or two with this calf issue. Lets have a look at what we did this week. We are again missing Paul as he still does not have the net.

The wave is coming

Ok I’ve now applied for leave on Friday 29th February and the timetable for the Soundwave Festival has just been released so I’m all set for the event.

Sorry about the small print on the timetable, but I had to resize it due to the sidebar on the hundredpennies site

While there’s heaps of bands I haven’t heard of, Mr Lagmer told me about a few that I will definitely check out.

Here’s my my plan for the day;

12.30 - 1.0: Kicking things off with screamo freestyle punk band Fall Of Troy.

Week 6 - Half Way

So we finished week 6 and are now half way in our training for the run for the kids. This week was my first attempt to run after 2 weeks off with an ankle injury. My return was ok however I was not feeling the fitness that I had 2 weeks ago so I really need to step up my training this week to get back on track. Let have a look at what we managed to do this week.

Stu - 14.18 K at a slow average pace of 7.25 per k.

Those longnecks went down well

Longnecks

It’s not often that a high profile band will give up the opportunity to entertain under a widely know name that is revered by their loyal fans. However this is exactly what Melbourne legends The Living End have been doing in recent years while playing under the pseudonym The Longnecks. This disguise has given them the freedom to play material off their upcoming albums to smaller and more intimate crowds. Despite this subterfuge their recent gig at Ruby’s Lounge was sold out which only goes to show that their renown still preceeds them no matter where they go.

Indiana Jones IV

I think I just pissed my pants a little. Harrison Ford looks like he’s getting pretty old but from what I saw in the trailer above, he’s still got it.

This took me back instantly to the fun that was had when watching the previous three Indys and I just can’t wait for this one.

By the way, how the hell did Shia LaBeouf get in there?

Week 5 - Recovering

Week 5 was a bad week for me as I was still recovering from my little mishap and did not get to do any running. I did manage to get out on Saturday and do 22k on the bike so I did do something for the week. The other boys all did very well and are on track for the big day.

Gav - 25.55K this week at 6.44 per K.

Paul - 28.54K this week at 5.15per K.
