Posting the weights is a good idea - maybe doing the same would be good motivation to get me back into the gym. Also now you must post updates.

Hahaha :)

Were any of you at Farah's London BSFA talk?

She said that the fans she's seen writing about starting at the gym always post the numbers.

I wasn't there. Did she have any suggestions as to why we do it? Maybe the non-geeks at the gym also don't have blogs hence geeks showing up more noticeably.

I think it's that geeks have a more analytical mindset. So rather than saying I feel fitter. They can say exactly how much longer they can run for / weight they can lift.

This has the corresponding opposite problem that people stop posting when the numbers stop changing as rapidly as they do when you first start.

Update: I ache today like a very achy thing made entirely of aches and stiffness! Gym is good. And can I motivate you to come and eat delicious kebabs at Al Casbah some time?
