The 2023 Arc Training Montage

@yaasshat no blacklight runs near me but holy crap the bubble run sounds fun. Gonna miss the one this year but maybe next year

Okay, so today is the day I've completed my first official 5k. There were 629 people and I got into 149th place. In my age bracket, I got in 29th place out of 69 male runners, so at least above average. I completed the 5k in 31:45, my new personal record! Tried as I might, I had to break my jog after the 4k mark and then limp/jog my way the last 1k. I wish I could describe how incredibly tired I was. My legs felt like noodles. I played some video games when I got home, took a headache pill, and then went upstairs to catch a quick 10 minute nap because I was so exhausted. Ended up sleeping for 3 hours straight...

Today at the gym I witnessed a full grown man do a strange exercise. He squatted, did a crab walk, and then motioned like he was slicing with a samurai sword. He repeated this sequence of actions over and over. https://media.tenor.com/9AxpRD2d5d0AAAAd/blinking-eyes-man.gif

@arc Um... I actually have no idea what that was. I mean it would be good for glutes and quads, but there are less nonsensical ways to get it done.

Oh man my neck is in so much pain today. Last friday I tried doing my same routine of pull ups at the gym and I REALLY struggled with it since I haven't done it in 3 weeks since I switched over to practicing for a 5k and injured my wrists. I haven't felt the magnitude of being this sore since I first started working out. Oh man this sucks...can barely get enough sleep...

Keep up the hard work, Arc! I believe in you, Senpai! Let me help motivate you with the Uncle Gabriel workout routine that'll shred the excess flesh right off them bones! Stay lean my man.

@gabriel_true Dude, those pictures could go right on a motivational poster. I instantly felt like working out.
