...I concede.

Then again, I have always been terribly undersized and possessing a big mouth. I was already used to running for my life.

And insert YouTube clip!

Oh wait, I can't link YouTube on my Imagigger. Ah well.

[SalmonGod]

Aren't they running to an iteratively further away point from some baseline each time? Like 5m and back, 10m and back, 15m and back..?

Those were called "gassers" or "grinders". It's probably just a local term, either way.

Around here those are called "Wind Sprints".

I've been trying to get out and do a few minutes of them at least every other day or so.  Failing at that, but I have made a difference.

Shuttle runs, in Pitt.

Oh yeah, I've heard them called that too.  I think basketball players tended to call them shuttle runs, but wind sprints was the wrestling term.

[Yoink]

Ah well. As far as Bay12 is concerned, he doesn't exist.

Except for his name, which is kept in the moderation log for everyone to see.

For some reason a scene like this comes to mind:

Wait, Hurize got banned?

In my thread?

That's... a weird feeling actually it's like responsibility mixed with awkwardness

And of course now the first reply to my reports-drawing thread is by a banned guy

[Loud Whispers]

Sad he had to get banned, because this place is awesome. Scary because anyone can be banned.

Nah, Toady is pretty cool amphibian. Doesn't ban without good reason.

So banned

Here, wind sprints were only during football season. Possibly basketball, but I'm a short guy who can't jump, so I never played. Wind sprints were running the width of the field, back and forth. (It's about 45 yards/meters.) We usually did them in sets of 10.

HOLD IT!

The edit says it was at 13:01:37, without taking on count the PM (which makes it wrong in another sense) this is wrong.
You posted this at 02:00:50... or... 14:00:50!
Any way to explain it Mr whispers?

Real edits don't show up when you quote someone.

Okay. Over the past several weeks, I've been scared of suddenly dying when I'm trying to go to sleep, i.e. heart attack, stroke, even nukes (yeah I know right). Mostly these keep me awake for like 10 minutes and then I go to bed. This never bothers me in the day though, so it's highly ignorable.

However, while having sleeping, or having naps. I've recently been just... passing out? I'm not sure. I'll go to sleep, and then 'wake up'. I'll swear my eyes are open, but they're not. I can sort of feel my limbs, but when I try to move them, nothing.

SCARIEST THING : In this state it doesn't feel like I'm breathing, nor can I make myself breathe. I instinctively scream "HELP!" but all I can hear is a little "ughh" catching in my throat. Eventually, something triggers (I think my body needing oxygen), and I wake up, befuddled. It's almost as if my brain decided to go on break.

[Wrex]

It's called Sleep Paralysis. It's what your body does to make sure you don't act out your dreams. Trust me, you are still breathing, and the like.
