Don't feel bad, Blaat. You most certainly aren't the only confused mod on this forum. Some are beyond salvation, but for you there is still hope.

You mean wadlopen towards one of the northern Dutch islands? Never did that myself, even though I've lived in the north all my life.

Nothing quite prepares the body for chin-ups. Two weeks since my last Gym attendance, and I should have known better than to go all-out.

Good workout, but gnnghrh.

I don't feel bad. I just see another opportunity to visit the North.

Though I'm more likely to visit Denmark, Norway or Finland first :p

Yeah, she means wadlopen. I've also never done it. But I've never lived further North than I live now.

It burns. It buuuurns.

Just make the best of it; consider your suffering punishment for your many sins. That way it is more than just the result of overdosing on enthusiasm, which makes it a cathartic experience.

In that case, I've got a lot of sins to atone for.

I wasn't aware you were Charo. You could have at least told me you had typing skills and brought in some cash.

Quads and glutes. Or, if you want to get technical, thighs and butt.

Although I did once come across this on a training forum that made me laugh.

Are you quite sure that you've never been humped by Dami's dog, or viciously attacked your own shadow?
