Basically you bench press your body weight, ( 100% for men, 75% for women ) then run a 5k, with 1 minute subtracted from your 5K time for every repetition completed on the bench press.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After checking more into this, I found out these events are more common than I could have imagined, sort of like a different form of a biathlon. I had never heard of this before, but because I am an avid bench-presser, and a 5k'er, it sounded like something I would like to try out. The events have different rules, such as some only give you 30 seconds off for every repetition etc. depending on whom is coordinating the competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bench-pressing is something that has always been a big interest of mine, it is probably a macho thing or something. Yes, I jump rope, do leg presses, and many of the other exercises, but when I go to the fitness center everyone always asks me "How Much Can You Bench?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always thought it a funny question, because I notice no one ever asks "How Much Can You Curl?" or "How Many Chin-Ups Can You Do?" It is always "How Much Can You Bench?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess I workout at that the most, since I want to truthfully give them a high number. Not to brag, but I actually have drawn small crowds at my local fitness center to watch me workout on the flat bench.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll temper that by humbly admitting I would be a nobody at an amateur bench-press contest, but I am one of the stronger benchers at&amp;nbsp;my workout center&amp;nbsp;and combining that with running 5K's is something I think I could do very well at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to put any runners down, God knows many of them are far-faster than I am, but most of them tend to be what I'll call "Bags Of Bones," with little upper-body muscle definition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll continue to monitor this to see if there are any of these events coming up within driving distance. In the meantime, I'll continue to try to get stronger and faster, something that is actually hard to do in my opinion, I think that too much running volume can just drain you from the energy required for weight-related exercises.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-2512805457575917000?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/2512805457575917000/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=2512805457575917000' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/2512805457575917000'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/2512805457575917000'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2011/11/intrigued-i-was-recently-reading-on-one.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-7261727176704412952</id><published>2011-09-11T12:42:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T22:43:23.372-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brenda Deer Memorial 5K: September 10, 2011&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;For more history on this race, please read one of my prior-year posts on the matter. One of my running goals has been to&amp;nbsp;run a sub-20 minute sanctioned 5K. I have already achieved the sub-20 in practice, so although I originally decided to make it official at this race, I changed my mind and told them I wished to serve as a volunteer instead of wasting my money on the entry fee. I had already satisfied myself of the sub-20, so why would I need to have it printed on a race-result sheet somewhere?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;This was my first time acting in this capacity as a volunteer, my job was to man a water aid station, and hand cups of water to the racers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although no one was around to watch me fill the cups in preparation, I decided early on not to spit or piss in the cups of the Niggers, Asians, Kikes, and other mud races who would be running, unlike the Negro "Reverend" Jesse Jackson, who self-admittingly used to spit in the food of whites when he worked as a cook at a country club years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;For one thing, I felt it would be disrespectful to the woman I agreed to help, and was serving under her direction, but more importantly I would view it as almost a form of race-mixing, putting the fluids of a white man into non-whites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My positioning on the course gave me a new perspective on the runners. Even the leaders did not look like they were going terribly fast, as I imagined they would have, but I was near the middle of the course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;After the slowest runner had passed my station and my job was finished, I made my way back to the start/finish area to watch the award ceremony, where I continued to witness some anti-White hatred that has been going on&amp;nbsp;for several years in a row now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;A squint-eyed Asian family called the "Doolins" have a large litter of offspring, all of them very young, pre-teens. Now, normally the rest of the youngsters participate in what they call a "Kid's Fun Run," it's a short sprint and to the best of my knowledge, no record is kept of where you place in the run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;So the "Doolin Scheme" goes like this: The Doolin kids do the whole 5K, bypassing the "Kid's Fun Run." This guarantees them 3 award medals, ( Male Age Group 1-9, Female age Group 1-9, and Female Age Group 10-14. )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;The only others they are competing against in those age categories are other Doolins themselves, so it's a slam dunk to scoop up the award medals and make the Asians appear to be something special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Actually, the only reason another 4th Doolin didn't pick up the Male Age Group 10-14 award was because of a lone exception, a 10-year old named "Kevin Murphy" dusted the 10-year old Doolin by a full 03:58. But almost all of these Doolins can walk the damn course and still pick up the medals by default.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although 8 members of the Deer family also competed, ( 2 winning awards ) that is a whole different ball game, as this race is dedicated to one of their deceased family members, and the adult age group awards are in 10-year increments, making it much more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;A&amp;nbsp;notable anomaly in the race this year was that kari Deer won overall female, ( 6th place in the race overall ) running a 20:29, one second ahead of John Deer. My educated guess is that she must have been busting her butt to the max training, after a last place 50:29 finish last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;Off the top of my head, I can't say that I can ever recall someone running a 5K 30 minutes faster in a year's time, although with the exception of last year, Kari has always been fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-7261727176704412952?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7261727176704412952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=7261727176704412952' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7261727176704412952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7261727176704412952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/brenda-deer-memorial-5k-september-10.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-7391567100925628677</id><published>2011-03-21T18:26:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T18:28:19.587-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: orange; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marathons Cause Heart Disease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;I found this link trying to find a connection between the repetitive stress marathon runners endure, and heart disease.

That is how I'm categorizing tonight's run. 3.25 miles, 10% incline, on a treadmill. This was my very first run since I broke my Calcaneous ( Heel Bone ) last September 11, 2010, just prior to the start of the Brenda Deer 5K, in which I started but DNF'D. My finish time didn't matter today, since all I needed was a time to write down in my running log, a base number to improve upon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;The doctor actually gave me clearance to run again about a month or so ago, the hardest thing is getting started. But I did. What sparked all of this? Well, it all started when I visited a new-to-me running blog called &lt;span style="color: #8e7cc3;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://elizathon.com/"&gt;"Elizathon."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Actually it is not a running blog at all, it just sort of mentions&amp;nbsp;running every now and then, just enough to trick runners into going there, while branching off onto non-running tangents. Then again, I do that myself sometimes, as the word "race" in my blog title takes on two different meanings. We talk about running races, but we also talk about races, as in Negroes, Jews, Asians, Whites, etc., since I am a racial separatist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Anyway, I tried to get her ( The blog operator "Elizabeth" ) to verbally trash me, ( I'm not used to nice people, they don't motivate me&amp;nbsp;too well. ) but she refused, at least until I updated my blog. So I thought to myself &amp;nbsp;"How can I possibly update my blog if I haven't been running?" So I ran. Ironically, it was not Elizabeth herself that finally convinced me directly. It was an advertisement on her blog page, that showed a very hot-looking lady in a cute running top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;And I thought some more, thinking "Wouldn't it be cool if all the female runners really were so damn good-looking like that?" That was followed by "What if I DID run into one of them?" "Would I really want to look like an out of shape has-been, 10 minutes&amp;nbsp;off my 5K PR, as is the case right now?" So I ran.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Back in the saddle again, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://elizathon.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #8e7cc3;"&gt;Elizathon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the new link on my side bar. I'm dedicating tonight's run to Elizathon, since I don't know the name of the hot babe in the advertisement, and besides, I wouldn't have run at all had I not come across that blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-6791371089636378838?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/6791371089636378838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=6791371089636378838' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/6791371089636378838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/6791371089636378838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2011/03/elizarun-elizarun.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-7709531365109490848</id><published>2011-01-08T17:40:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-08T17:59:20.790-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Still Injured:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Well, I still can't run due to my injury back in September, but there have been other benefits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I've really made great progress putting more emphasis on weight training, setting new PR'S that had stood for 24 years.

Although our health-care system is already near total collapse, ( With the government forcing medical staff to attend to Niggers, Jews, and others who have no rightful business being within our borders in the first place ) the feather that pushes it over the cliff has not yet landed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Until it, and every sector of the Jewnited States is in total disarray, the brainwashed lemmings that make up the bulk of the population will continue to just make small vocal protests, with very little heroism such as the destruction of Zionist owned and occupied buildings, collapsing of the infrastructure, etc. in action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;As white American citizens, it is our responsibility and duty to advocate and take actions to help restore the nation to be inline with what the founders intended. Advocating an overthrow of a governmental system bearing no resemblance to the original constitution cannot be considered an anti-constitutional event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our country is already deservingly the laughing stock of the world, but with a strong military making it difficult to obtain serious help from the so-called "terrorists" ( Our Non-American Freedom Fighting helpers ) overseas, we must ourselves take actions to bring about the total destruction and bloodshed of the tyrants currently in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Activists not willing to engage in violent acts can work towards bankrupting the system, and speeding up its rate of destruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;I believe that even many liberals who achieved a short-lived laugh by shoving a Nigger down our throats and labeling him "President Obama" are sorry now, as the complete incompetence that is typical of Niggers comes back to haunt even them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting back to the race, notable anomalies were that a 53-year old ( Richard Munson ) won the race overall, ( Compared to an 18-year old last year ) and an 83-year old female finished the race in under 50 minutes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-5440633801054403717?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/5440633801054403717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=5440633801054403717' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/5440633801054403717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/5440633801054403717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2010/09/brenda-deer-memorial-5k-2010-september.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-2148451713718852485</id><published>2010-07-23T21:13:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-23T21:22:58.411-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Specificity:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I had been doing a lot of hill running on a treadmill lately, in preparation for a race.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Today I decided to lower the incline more like the actual course I'll be running on.

Batteries are perishable commodities, and will all eventually die. If you are stuck with an oddball proprietary battery, you will have to go back to the manufacturer and pay a fortune to get a new one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;In the case of laptop computers, you are pretty much shafted anyway, as they pretty much all use proprietary batteries. But not so with digital cameras, mp3 players, digital camcorders, and some other things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Yes, this includes those I-pods, don't get one. Do you know how much it will cost you to get a new one when your I-pod battery goes South? A lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;BR&gt;You can find another suitable device that does everything an I-pod does, but uses standard batteries, such as AA. You can certainly use rechargeables, and when they die you can fairly cheaply purchase either standard or rechargeable replacement batteries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Nickel-Metal hydride ( NiMH ) chemistry rechargeables are a good way to go, a fine source for these is:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thomasdistributing.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Thomas Distributing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-848637076509181702?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/848637076509181702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=848637076509181702' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/848637076509181702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/848637076509181702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2010/01/electronic-advice-many-runners-enjoy.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-4950500639865376601</id><published>2009-12-17T22:40:00.017-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-17T23:43:42.694-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Kike Ear Buds? -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SysDbRDDP1I/AAAAAAAAAJI/4Uy3G_9HhHE/s1600-h/Yurtopia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 73px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416426743810703186" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SysDbRDDP1I/AAAAAAAAAJI/4Uy3G_9HhHE/s400/Yurtopia.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Long time readers of this blog will know that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://frayedlaces.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;Frayed Laces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt; is one of our favorite runners to both praise and poke fun of once in awhile over here. In all honesty, I view her as an inspirational runner. This post I'd consider neutral so far as Frayed Laces is concerned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, she was approached and asked to review, presumably for her high profile in both the running community and blogosphere, an item called "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.yurbuds.com/Default.aspx"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;Yurbuds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;," who offered her not only a free demo pair for herself to try out, but 10 sets to dole out at random to her blog readers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;What is perplexing to me about this particular product is that the company uses the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://dayoftherope.blogspot.com/2006/04/kosher-food-levy-scam-i-wasnt-going-to.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;Kosher Food Scam Symbol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt; of a U inside of a circle, which represents the Union Of Orthodox Jews on many food labels, prominently to promote and display their item.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

I've heard people like Steve Runner and his ilk often say things along the lines of "We don't care what color you are, what religion you practice, your political views, and blah blah blah. We all share this passion for running which brings us together as a community of runners."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For their sake, I'll add &lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;"EXCEPT THOSE RUNNERS WHOSE ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDIES DISAGREE WITH WHAT OUR JEWISH SUPREMACIST PUPPET MASTERS AND BOUGHT-AND PAID-FOR POLITICALY CORRECT POLITICIANS TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD BELIEVE AND PRACTICE, EVEN IF WE'VE NEVER READ A SINGLE ANTHROPOLOGICAL BOOK IN OUR LIVES."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;The discrimination against racially-aware whites, and whites in general continues unabated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;I wonder if they even recognize their own hypocrisy and lies?

She was struck and killed by a car while out running with her husband on July 30, 2000. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Her husband recovered from his physical injuries, and lives on to run today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I don't normally write long posts, but I'll take you through the whole race this time. I awoke around 7 AM to threatening weather, but it never rained throughout the festivities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;The horn sounded just after 9 AM, I started right near the front, stumbled for a second, but quickly regained my balance and hit my stride. We hit the first corner and started down the big hill. I was very content to be just behind the leaders, even though I was panting heavily right from the get-go. "Dammit, forgot to start my stopwatch," I said to myself as I finally pressed the button.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;I hit the left turn onto Nott Road at 3:15 elapsed on my stopwatch. Normally I like to hit it there, but I started my watch late so I was worried. I promised myself to run in a totally masochistic fashion, to resist all urges to slow down except every 4 minutes I would take a 30-second water break from my fuel belt. A few people passed me on my first break, including the one and only female to set foot in front of me. It takes a lot to rattle me in a race, so this did not bother me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;I settled in behind a guy setting a good pace, just to my liking. We made the left onto Campus Club Drive, and I followed him right up the hill, giving him some room so as not to invade his personal space.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;In the olden days, when the course was 3.25 miles, we used to run the horseshoe shaped Hiawatha Drive, but now that the course has been reduced to a true 5K, they just place a traffic cone near the 2nd leg of Hiawatha, but still on Campus Club Drive, in the middle of the street, you simply run around the cone and head back the way you came.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;A funny thing happened here. A Guilderland cop motioned for a car to halt to let the runners circle the cone, but the car stopped almost EXACTLY even with, and almost touching the cone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;The guy in front of me was visibly pissed, as he either had to run around the car, or wait for the cop to do something. The cop yelled "Pull up ten feet and stop!," at which time the driver obeyed. I heard the runner curse the driver, but I laughed because it allowed me to close the short gap between us. Now we were on another downhill, and I rocketed past him and another runner like they were standing still.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We hit the flats, and I took another water break, allowing the two runners to pass me again, one of them was really cooking, he even passed the girl I had my sights on, while the other guy inexplicably chose to run on the opposite side of the road, almost dead even with me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Then, right before my final water break, I saw him stop and cramp up, rubbing his leg trying to work it out. I had mixed feelings here, I felt bad for him, but knew I could pass him now, if only briefly. I slowed and drank my water as he worked his cramp out and passed me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I resumed running, I got around him again. Now it was balls to the wall, no more breaks and the killer uphill yet to come. The girl was the next runner in front of me, with about a 15-second lead. I tried to close the gap, but we were maintaining about the same distance apart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hit the steep uphill, nearing the end of the race, and I gained a few, but only a few, seconds on her. At the top of the hill you turn into the YMCA and then sprint like hell on the flat, toward the back of the parking lot, where the finish line is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;It was here that I turned on the "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterburner"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;afterburner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;," my last chance to catch her. I closed the large gap in an incredibly short time frame, but the finish line was right there, and I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=getting+chicked"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;got chicked&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; by 1 second!

As soon as the oven door was opened, the gingerbread man jumped out, and began to run away as fast as he could go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The little old woman called her husband, and they both ran after him. "We want to eat you!" They said. But they could not catch him. And soon the gingerbread man came to a barn full of threshers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He called out to them as he went by, saying:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've run away from a little old woman, a little old man, and I can run away from you too, I can!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the barn full of threshers set out to run after him. But, though they ran fast, they could not catch him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he ran on 'till he came to a field full of mowers. He called out to them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a barn full of threshers, and I can run away from you too, I can!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the mowers began to run after him, but they couldn't catch him. And he ran on 'till he came to a cow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He called out to her:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a barn full of threshers, a field full of mowers, and I can run away from you too, I can!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, though the cow started at once, she couldn't catch him. And soon he came to a horse. He called out to the horse:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a barn full of threshers, a field full of mowers, a cow, and I can run away from you too, I can!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the horse ran, and couldn't catch him. And he ran 'till he came across a nigger, and to it he called out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a barn full of threshers, a field full of mowers, a cow and a horse, and I can run away from you too, I can!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the nigger set out to run full-tilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now niggers can run very fast, and so the nigger almost caught the gingerbread man, but the gingerbread man crossed the finish line and took the 1st place trophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just then, a lion entered the finishing shoot, and was poised to pounce on the gingerbread man, but the quick-thinking gingerbread man threw his trophy at the lion's head, and scurried out of there, up a tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gingerbread man tried to warn the nigger by shouting "You had better get your black ass up a tree, or that lion is going to make dinner out of you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;"Even I, the gingerbread man, cannot outrun a lion!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nigger replied "Why would he eat me?

Little did I know there was a Triathlon scheduled, but the last leg ( Running segment ) was right smack on the same course I wanted to run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I walked through the transition area with the cyclists parking their bikes, and then I was off!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I was the only one running, the rest of people were just in the transitional phase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I passed a few volunteers passing out water, but I declined since I had my fuel belt on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;A few people thought I was in the race, because they slowed their cars down and yelled words of encouragement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;( Clap, Clap ) "Whooo! Keep It Going Babe!" ( They shouted )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Apparently they must have thought I was in 1st place, since no one else had commenced running yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I couldn't finish where the other runners do, since they had the banner, official time clock, time keepers, etc. It would have been extremely awkward to me, and bewildering to many folks. I like bandit racing, but this would be over the top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;So I checked my watch approaching the finish line, but had to run in a different route and guess my time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;My time would have been roughly the same as last year's, which was disappointing, but on the other hand I have 8 weeks to really bust my body into shape for the "Real McCoy."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Yes, I know that Elijah McCoy was a nigger, but white people have adopted the cliche "Real McCoy," and have been using it for many years, so I will continue to do so myself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;If Elijah McCoy were alive today, he would probably be hung from the nearest tree not by the KKK, but from environmentalist liberals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;( He invented a device to automatically lubricate railroad equipment, which eventually dripped into the ground, or was burned. )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Actually, the origins of the phrase "Real McCoy" are in dispute, although Elijah McCoy was definitely much more intelligent than your average Negro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;See, I give credit where credit is due, what makes people think that I don't like

align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although I will have to cancel a few races I had planned on running due to this, it actually comes at a period when I can use some down-time anyway, to recover from some minor running ailments, until I can get another one set up.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span

reading some running blogs lately where they were laughing about people who have not been running for all that long dispensing tips, as if they thought of themselves as experts or something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I personally don't have a problem with fairly new runners trying to give advice to beginners.

align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I look at it this way: If you have someone who has never thrown a bowling ball in their life, even a league bowler with a poor average ( Say a 120 ) has some basic knowledge about how to line up your feet for spares, move around on the approach, find problems with the way the beginner is releasing the ball, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Likewise a beginning chess player does not need a Grandmaster for a coach, ( Although it certainly shouldn't hurt if the GM had the patience ) they can often keep improving by learning from the average chess-club member type of player for quite some time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;So last night, my sister brings over a present for me, a box of 10 "Access Nutrition Bars," Double-Fudge flavor, from an outfit called "Melaleuca," a company that sells household cleaning products, and athletic performance-enhancing food bars. ( An odd combination, no? )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;So anyway, the directions on the box say to eat one bar 15 minutes before exercising, and on an empty stomach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I ate nine in one sitting last night, ( They were delicious ) with the idea of saving the last bar for my 5K practice run this morning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Funny thing is, I totally forgot about the one remaining bar when I awoke and got ready for my workout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I was rocket-fast, setting a new PR. This was highly unusual, since I have been running lousy, plus I forgot to take the bar as directed. I'm thinking perhaps the nine bars from the night before may have had some positive influence on my running?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I don't know, so it was indeed messing with my head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;I'd like to do some more investigating/experimenting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Melaleuca has some good products, but the problem is that it is hard to simply buy a box of these on your own, as the company tries to steer you to one of their sales representatives, and even worse, tries to get you to lock into one of those shitty "Forced Purchase" scams, where they send you shit every month and if you don't like it you need to send it back for credit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;My sister is quitting the program, ( They want like $50 bucks from you per month ) so I may try to buy them on my own and see what happens without locking into a permanent commitment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-4035141916508064818?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/4035141916508064818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=4035141916508064818' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/4035141916508064818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/4035141916508064818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2009/05/messin-with-my-head-lately-ive-been.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-7588621009670056709</id><published>2009-05-15T13:16:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T13:40:23.877-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Tis The Season For Long Runs:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;My running really hasn't been progressing as well as I had hoped lately, it seems to be lack of motivation as much as anything else.&lt;BR&gt; I've been slowing down on some of my runs instead of pushing through the pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I had loosely planned on possibly running a particular 5K tonight, but decided to bail out on that idea and not enter a race until I am running better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;How to solve this problem?

My favorite blogger/runner "&lt;a href="http://frayedlaces.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frayed Laces&lt;/a&gt;" not only completed the Boston Marathon, ( Injured no less ) but actually &lt;a href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;amp;postID=4270764775890474410"&gt;found and commented&lt;/a&gt; on the blog article I did about her, which meant a lot to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;On top of that, I set a new 5K treadmill PR on the same day as the Boston Marathon, which I give total credit to &lt;a href="http://frayedlaces.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frayed Laces&lt;/a&gt; for my inspired performance, ( Or maybe it was because it was Adolf Hitler's birthday? I'm not sure which ) while also setting a new 5K road course PR, and a recent bench-press PR, ( By a full 10 pounds ) all in the same week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;But on Sunday, ( 04/26/09 ) while feeling good and confident, I had a very slow running session, in what was supposed to be speedwork. Hey, it happens every once in awhile. But Monday ( today ) was even worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Was it the heat? ( We have had unseasonably hot weather around here lately )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Did I gain a lot of weight? ( I hadn't weighed myself since March 17th, when I reached a weight-loss goal )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Putting on a tiny bit of weight wouldn't be so much of a nightmare, and would explain why I PR'ed on the bench press. So I decided to weigh myself. Gulp. I had gained 36.2 pounds in 41 days, about 17 more than I had expected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;This would actually be easier to swallow if I was still running fast, but two bad days in a row when I am feeling good is abnormal for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;So what to do now? I guess the obvious answer is concentrate on the weight loss again, and try to run faster. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;But I am worried, because my outdoor racing season is approaching quickly, and I want to keep my streak going of a new PR in every race I've ever run, at least for the rest of this year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;You remember how I bad-mouthed the programmable feature on my treadmill? Well I think I will start off by taking back what I said and going back to that program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Hey, I'm allowed to change my mind about something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;But this really sucks. I need to find a way to PR again, and soon, but my instincts tell me it's not going to come quickly, even though I am only one week removed from setting it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Oh well, we'll see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-38554107620761663?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/38554107620761663/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=38554107620761663' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/38554107620761663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/38554107620761663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2009/04/and-then-it-all-fell-apart-last-week.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-4270764775890474410</id><published>2009-04-20T16:11:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-20T20:02:03.316-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frayed Laces Does The Boston:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326874077081279026" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SezbwAeqmjI/AAAAAAAAAIA/vrtUBc1EuqM/s320/FrayedLace.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;My favorite running blogger/runner, &lt;a href="http://frayedlaces.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frayed Laces&lt;/a&gt;, just completed the 113th running of the Boston Marathon in 4:42:36.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think that is not fast, I will tell you that she is a 3:38 marathon runner, ( You have to be fast to even qualify for Boston ) but had to overcome multiple injuries and adversity just to finish this race, and at one point leading up to race day was convinced she might not even finish, but was going to come from Hawaii to give it a shot anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The range of emotions this lady has had to endure have run the gamut, from crying to elation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I think it is the wide range of personality traits that makes her one of my favorite bloggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;She is sort of like a nuclear reactor, capable of putting out tremendous energy, but with the possibility of a meltdown always there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't sit here and say "I knew she could do it," like some people say after a fact, because I really didn't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much can go wrong in a marathon even when you are in perfect shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now she earns a finisher's medal, in the most prestigious race in the history of mankind, and had already qualified to run the 2010 Boston Marathon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Way to go Frayed, you deserve a blog post dedicated entirely to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;*Update - I set a new 5K PR on my treadmill tonight.

What inspired me to mix things up was the reading of a weight-training article.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;It said that a bench-presser does not go from a 600 Lb max to 650, most weight-training PR'S are set using 2 1/2 pound weights, the smallest weight that will fit on each side of a standard Olympic-size weight bench set. So 600 to 605 would be more normal, well for a world-class bench-presser anyway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;That made me realize that I needed to put my treadmill on manual control, and shoot to beat my old PR by only one second, well it turned out I beat it by 7, but that is beside the point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;The thing is, I really knew this a long time ago, but my treadmill pre-program controls require large leaps in time to beat your old PR, it won't allow you to set the goal-pace for one second quicker.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;I guess I got caught up in all the new gadgetry on my new treadmill compared to the old one.

Thankfully I don't have to go on another business trip for about 6 more days, so I really need to lick another PR before then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All speedwork, everyday until this happens, or I have to leave on a trip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:50%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:50%;"&gt;In an attempt to get motivated enough to set another personal record, I self-penalized myself by refusing to run outdoors in a race or even solo until I set another treadmill PR.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:50%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:50%;"&gt;I know lots of runners hate treadmills, but since I get obsessive over numbers they are the ideal training tool for me.

If you will recall from my last post, I was attempting to lose 19.7 pounds in 26 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It only took me 12. I arrived home from a business trip two days ago, and weighed in at 174. Not bad, I thought, only 4.1 pounds to go. But I better get it done quick, because once I get home from a trip, I have a tendency to gorge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I popped a few &lt;a href="http://www.ihealthtree.com/absolute-nutrition-watershed-60tabs.html"&gt;natural diuretics&lt;/a&gt;, drank a gallon of ( diet ) green tea, ( also a diuretic ) and was disheartened to find I weighed in this morning at 176.2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vocabulary Builder:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Diuretic"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;[n] any substance that tends to increase the flow of urine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not good. I knew I had to get it done today, or else it wasn't going to happen. ( Under 170 in March ) So I ran and biked my ass off, with no fluid intake, ( I couldn't fathom the idea of a sleepless night in a homemade sauna with my body wrapped in Saran wrap and the heater on high ) and by around 7 PM the scale read 169.4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something weird about that 170 number, I'll tell you every time I approached it, I had a hell of a time just trying to get those last fractions of a pound knocked off, my body really just didn't want to do it, but I forced it to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the lightest weight I've been since I was 17.&lt;br /&gt;Sure we know most of it is water weight, but the mental victory of breaking the 170 numerical barrier took a lot of physical activity, and feels almost as good as setting a race PR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What better way to celebrate the day &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Saint Patrick&lt;/span&gt; drove all the Jews out of Ireland than to accomplish this?! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Source:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/Inquisition.htm"&gt;http://www.israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/Inquisition.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From that site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"The facts are, that Saint Patrick drove all the serpents out of Ireland, more specifically, the serpent race of Jews! Even as God commanded Israel to drive out the Canaanites from their midst, throughout the Bible, even so we have seen a few obedient instances of this in secular history. Saint Patrick drove the serpent Jews out of Ireland for the cause of Christianity, and this was true in all such cases of expulsion documented in history."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-3832633094471200265?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3832633094471200265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=3832633094471200265' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/3832633094471200265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/3832633094471200265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2009/03/2612-look-ma-im-thin-well-i-guess-irish.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/ScAmfgPIJUI/AAAAAAAAAHc/VkSNzLJAkFY/s72-c/PhonyHolohoaxPeople.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-8889670811780635372</id><published>2009-03-05T15:53:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T16:37:38.331-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"&gt;26 Day Test:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Well, we will get a good real-life test of my last blog post over the next 26 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;My January weight goal was to hit under 170 pounds sometime during the month. I failed. So I tried for under 170 again in February. I failed again, this time by only 1.1 pounds, as I weighed in at 171.0 at one point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;So I'm trying again for 169.9 in March. Today ( March 5, 2009 ) I weighed in ( unclothed ) at 189.6, so basically I have to lose 19.7 pounds in 26 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;I figured blogging about it would help me achieve it. I don't want to blog about failing again. I plan on pigging out tomorrow only because I will be passing one of my favorite restaurants in the course of my job, but plan to buckle down severely after that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;We'll see how it goes. One sign of optimism I have is that many years ago, I worked 12 1/2 hour shifts in a plastics manufacturing factory. It was hot, and the work was intense and fast. They had a platform scale there that was made for weighing palletized material, but you could also weigh yourself on it since its accuracy had to be certified every now and then by an independent company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Occasionally, I would not drink much over the course of the shift, and found that it was possible to lose a full 20 pounds of water weight over the course of a single workday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Also, I more recently heard a football announcer who was a former NFL player say that on a hot day with all the pads and everything, it was not unusual for a player to lose as much as 27 pounds over the course of a 3-hour game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Quite amazing actually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Not too many, certainly not I, as of yet, and the foreseeable future.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On a positive note, I set a new PR on my treadmill yesterday, which proves my racing skills are still improving. This despite all of the over-indulgence of food, staying out late, the extra stress level etc. that accompanies the holiday season, although I did have to turn down a lot of party invitations to pull that one off, and not become a total human garbage disposer of cookies and the junk food platters floating around.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But I worry nonetheless, because I know there is a wall out there where I will peak, and not be able to get past. It'll be all downhill from there, and as a competitive person, I wonder how that will affect me mentally?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But on a positive note, there is no sign of that yet. I fully intend to pick up my first age-group award sometime in 2009. I'm already fast enough to have had slower runners ask me for advice, on how they can be "as fast as me."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now, I'll bitch about politics. It pisses me off to no end to see these Israeli Jews bomb the shit out of the Palestinians, all under the guise of "fighting terrorism."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Their kill ratio is what, about 50:1?, yet they still get all the sympathy since they control all the media.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And we had previously demanded the Palestinians hold Democratic elections, after the Jews poisoned and killed Yasser Arafat. So what did they do? Cater to our whims, and hold Democratic elections. But since Hamas won the election, our government says "Well, we don't like them guys, we want Democratic elections that don't include Hamas, we want people that will kiss Jew ass."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I think it has gotten pretty ridiculous. I've even heard the term "Anti-Semite" hurled at former President Jimmy Carter for his book, "Peace, not Apartheid."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That is insane, I mean come on, I think the man had almost a fetishistic obsession to bringing about peace in the Middle East, and wanted that to be his legacy, and yet those blood-thirsty Jews will treat him like that, and they are currently going on another blood-lust mission.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, that's all I have for now, keep on training because we will be fighting these Jews on our own turf now, and it will only escalate from here.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now, many people might be asking at this point, "Oscar, why are you concerned about these Palestinians?" Well, in a way I am jealous of them, because they at least realize they are being systematically destroyed by the Jews. Most white people don't realize the same thing is happening to them, just not so much in your face with guns and bombs, tanks, and war planes, or else they would wake up to what is going on a lot quicker.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;War, ( White Aryan Resistance )&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Oscar Yeager&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-8306324923365522472?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/8306324923365522472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=8306324923365522472' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8306324923365522472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8306324923365522472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/12/rambling-and-bitching-ive-been-thinking.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-402757607678587153</id><published>2008-12-11T19:17:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T19:46:27.838-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RunningKilts.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SUGwkrq9_YI/AAAAAAAAAFc/PR6d-qZK2Xw/s1600-h/runningkilt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278694382499659138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 202px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SUGwkrq9_YI/AAAAAAAAAFc/PR6d-qZK2Xw/s320/runningkilt.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is nice to see web sites like this that sell items to carry on the traditional clothing worn by men of European descent for thousands of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As the web site states: "The big players &lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;( Read: Jews )&lt;/span&gt; of the multi-billion dollar athletic-industrial complex don't think you have the, well, balls to wear a running kilt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"But, you don't have to listen to them!

The treadmill lady explained to me that the treadmill would run at moderate intensity for 3 minutes, then dramatically ratchet up in both speed and incline, and continue the pattern until you reached your maximum heart rate, or told them you could not continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked "What rate are you shooting for?" and she said "We don't like to tell the patient that, because then they focus on the number. We want you to have us stop the machine if you are having chest pain, trouble breathing, etc."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyway, after awhile they were both laughing and saying this one is going to be a long test!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw the monitor say "179," with a bar graph underneath showing what percentage you were at getting to that number, so I figured out on my own that they were using the old 220 minus your age formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After awhile they kept asking me like every 20 seconds "Are you okay? Are you okay?" and I said "I'm fine, keep it going."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it was getting close to 179, and they keep saying "Are you okay? Do you need to stop?" So I said "Keep it going, it's up to you when to stop it!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And she says: "No, it's up to you! You are supposed to tell us!" And I said "I am a competitive runner, you are going to have to kill me before I cry "uncle," or for mercy!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they laughed and the machine finally hit 179, and then they turned it off and did the 2nd echogram, which as far as they could tell on the spot was good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this brings up an interesting point. I've always believed that competitive people should train harder than what is generally recommended in running/fitness magazines, books, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I found a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"&gt;Treadmill Explosion:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I didn't get around to posting about this until now, but my previously trusty Weslo treadmill of 1980's vintage blew up on me about three weeks before the Brenda Deer Memorial 5K run, which meant I didn't get much training in leading up to race day, so it was a miracle I even finished under the top 22% of racers, PR'ed, and tied my best training pace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the rain we've had, I didn't want to run/train outdoors leading up to race day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Weslo's are known for being one of the cheapest treadmills on the market, in fact one review I read on them said "Don't even think of any serious running, or even jogging on these, they will blow up in no time!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;The article led you to believe they were built for the occasional walker at best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Mine had two motors, a small one for the incline function, and one for the main belt propulsion. Well, the incline motor blew up about one day after the 90 day warranty was up, ( back in the 80's ) stuck on about a 9% incline position, but I was able to train that way ( uphill ) regardless using the main DC motor, which was actually quite stout, ( 2.5 Horsepower ) for about 20 years, on and off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;The main running belt finally broke, ( although the motor was still going strong ) so I decided to find a good used treadmill and have my old one taken to the dump.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;An interesting side note is that I had just a day or two before this happened had read an article about D.C. treadmill motors being good for the purpose of creating a homemade wind generator, and so was seriously considering recycling my motor for this purpose, but ultimately abandoned the idea since I had little practical purpose for this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I hate my new ( previously owned ) treadmill, although it has more bells and whistles than the Weslo. It just will take a long time to get used to, so I feel I've been set back. ( It walks all over the floor, and flexes like a trampoline. )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still trying to put boards and weights around it, to hold it in place, it has a few broken parts that are causing these problems, I really should have checked it out better before buying it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;But then some optimism set in. I now feel that by running faster, on lower inclines, I may be able to improve more quickly for real-world racing. Granted I will still do occasional hill workouts with the newer unit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;With the old treadmill, I felt strong cardiovascularly, but my legs didn't want to go fast outside being they were trained for uphills, where my pace was much slower, so I didn't do too well racing on flat surfaces because my legs just didn't want to run the faster pace required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Hopefully that will change now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-8286528427028911112?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/8286528427028911112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=8286528427028911112' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8286528427028911112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8286528427028911112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/10/treadmill-explosion-i-didnt-get-around.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-8653975499276155090</id><published>2008-09-14T03:33:00.057-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T17:27:23.183-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brenda Deer Memorial 5K Guilderland, NY &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;( Running Legend Bill Rodgers On Hand To Compete And Host ceremonies )&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SM06Qbyq9rI/AAAAAAAAAEw/NfQ4XIwbzLc/s1600-h/Deer+Family+091308.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245913194969102002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SM06Qbyq9rI/AAAAAAAAAEw/NfQ4XIwbzLc/s320/Deer+Family+091308.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; ( Four members of the Deer family )&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SM077d87wZI/AAAAAAAAAFA/1ny5T35ljzU/s1600-h/Bill+Rodgers+BobIrwin+091308.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245915033795019154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SM077d87wZI/AAAAAAAAAFA/1ny5T35ljzU/s320/Bill+Rodgers+BobIrwin+091308.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt; ( Legendary Runner Bill Rodgers Presents The Winning Trophy To Local Chiropractor Bob Irwin with a winning time of 17:06 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;( Bob wins many local events around here )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;On September 13, 2008, I competed in the Brenda Deer Memorial 5K race in Guilderland, Jew York. This is absolutely by far my favorite race of the year. It does not normally draw a huge crowd, but I like it that way. Running legend Bill Rodgers was on hand to compete, and help with the awards ceremony. Bill is a big fan of the "YMCA," since that is where his running career began. ( The YMCA hosted this event )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#339999;"&gt;Background:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Brenda Deer was a popular elementary school teacher's aide, and an avid runner, along with her husband, John Deer. She was struck and killed by a car while out running with her husband on July 30, 2000. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Her husband recovered from his physical injuries, and lives on to run today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theme:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;The theme of this race is "Deer." Almost every other person you are competing against is named "Deer," and is related to the deceased.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;( Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea ) There are deer-crossing signs along the course, and yes, I have actually seen deer of the four-legged variety while working out on this course. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;As the old saying goes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;"Nothing Runs Like A Deer!"&lt;br /&gt;( I think it's really "Nothing Runs Like A Deere, But The "e" Is silent anyhow )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;Many members of the Deer family are very competent runners, some traveling from out of state for this event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Mental Aspect: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6666cc;"&gt;This really pissed me off. I must have been up here 15-20 times during the past year, training specifically for this particular race. Well come race day, I find out they changed the course somewhat, shortening it from it's traditional 3.25 miles to a true 5K, and changed the route. ( 3.11 Miles ) So right off the bat, I had a mental wrench to deal with in my head, but as the old saying goes, "When you're handed a lemon, make lemonade." I was upset because I had learned all the nuances, nooks, and crannies of this particular course, based on previous years, along with my training.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6666cc;"&gt;I will say that my finishing pace-per-mile was identical to my last training session up here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6666cc;"&gt;So do I have a right to complain? I just feel that if you are going to have a traditional race every year, it should be run on the exact same route if at all possible. ( It certainly would have been possible, to the best of my knowledge )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Course:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc9933;"&gt;This is your classic out-and back course, with the most prominent feature being a .3 mile steep hill near the beginning, and end, of the race. The rest of the race consists of some relatively minor rolling hills, along the beautiful wooded countryside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;So How'd I Do? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;1)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;The good news is that I kept my hot-streak going of attaining a new PR ( Personal Record ) in every organized 5K I've ever run in to date, topping my best time by 1:27 since running the Home Run 5K ( Troy, NY ) in June, less than three months ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;2)&lt;/span&gt; Also, I got to meet with running legend Bill Rodgers, who has won the Boston Marathon not once, not twice, but 4-times, along with winning the Jew York City marathon 4-times as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;He was literally once the fastest American runner, and one of the fastest people on the planet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;He kept stressing to me that "&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;The heart is the key&lt;/span&gt;," staying hydrated, get a good pair of running shoes, etc." He said that people used to think of sports such as running, as a teen, or 20-something's activity, but we have learned over the years that you can maintain a high level of fitness regardless of age, and extend your life span while remaining healthy in the meantime. I heard a ( presumably retired ) bystander agree, saying &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I want to collect my pension as long as possible!"&lt;/span&gt; )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Bill Rodgers currently works for "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://structuralmanagement.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Structural Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;," which takes a wider-ranging view of healthy living more than just running.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Also, he has a web site &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.billrodgers.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Bill Rodgers.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;, which sells books, T-shirts, and is more oriented towards the Boston Marathon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;3)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I Beat Bill Rodgers!&lt;/span&gt; Granted he is well past his prime, and I'm almost 20 years younger than he, but this will probably be the only time in my life I'll ever get to compete with him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;So, It is nice to be able to say "I beat the man that was once the fastest runner in America, and one of the fastest distance runners in the whole world."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Although I'm sure he is not as devoted to the competive side of racing these days, he's still not afraid to get out there and compete, and he does still log many miles per week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;Racial Aspects Of The Race:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;1)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;There was an Eastern-Indian mud type whom I passed during the first mile. He passed me when I paused for a water-break, and took a good wide lead over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I kept him in sight through miles 2 and 3, but he was wayyy up there, just barely visible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since he was still visible, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I was hoping for a miracle on the tough, steep uphill, hoping he was not a good hill-runner, and that maybe somehow I could catch him, but he was just too far ahead and it just wasn't going to happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;This is why they call the racialist movement "The Struggle"&lt;br /&gt;( He beat me by 13 seconds )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;2) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I stayed for the awards ceremony, and afterwards a somewhat ironic incident ocurred. A Nigger, wearing an award medal, came up to me and said "You are a hell of a runner,! I kept trying to pass you, but every time you heard foot steps behind, you accelerated like a moon-shot!" ( If he only knew why ) I didn't want to play into the Hollywood stereotype that white nationalists/Pan Aryans "hate niggers," ( We just don't want them around us ) so I put on my fake smile and replied, trying to act humbly, with "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Who, me? But you're the one with the medal!&lt;/span&gt;" ( I didn't win one for my age group )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shook his hand and congratulated him on winning the medal, then walked away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I felt like taking a shower after shaking hands with a nigger, but it was an odd situation for me. When a nigger walks up to you and pays a compliment, I just felt like I should hold back from telling the truth. ( Saying: "Get the fuck away from me nigger, I don't associate with your kind!," (( at least whenever possible )) seems a bit cruel, although honest, and everyone that knows me knows I'm a nice guy. )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;To my dismay, I did notice there were more muds/niggers around this year, incrementalism is a major problem for our race.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;Whites let one in, thinking it will only do minor damage, and before you know it they are crawling all over and inter-breeding with whites, destroying our race, heritage, traditions, values, jobs, and way of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;Forced integration is nothing more than state-sponsored terrorism, we do no longer have the freedom in this country to disassociate with people who are not of our own kind. Likewise, we do not have the freedom either to strictly associate with people who ARE of our own kind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;----------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oh, I almost forgot. The "&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://frayedlaces.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frayed Laces&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" chick. In my previous blog posts I mentioned I wanted to top her 5K PR. I guess that will have to wait, as she is still about 1:10 quicker.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;One last observation: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;As I approached the finish line, I heard more footsteps behind me, and turned around to see it was a white female. Well, you all know how much I hate "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.half-fast.org/2008/07/chicked-on-my-long-run.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;getting chicked&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;." ( beaten by a woman ) If I get smoked on the open road it is one thing, but I tend to get "possessive" near the finish line and don't like ANYONE passing me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But to my surprise, I believe she was actually yelling words of encouragement, which was just the kick in the ass I needed at the time to step it up just a bit and maintain my finishing spot.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Yeah, yeah, I know. She probably let me do it.

So a few days ago I was blogging about that girl that runs the "&lt;a href="http://frayedlaces.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Frayed Laces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" blog, and how I wanted to beat her 5K PR in September, since she enjoys "beating guys" so much, and it was pissing me off, well, since I'm a guy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today I did a "dry run" of the same course I will be racing on in September. "Frayed Laces" blogs about the "mental and emotional ups and downs of training and racing." Today, I could totally relate to that, because I did not do nearly as well as I had hoped.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't normally time my outdoor runs, but did today to predict my September race time, and find out where I stand. I guess the good news is that I ONLY missed my own 5K PR by 9 seconds, on a solo run, and since like I said this course is actually a 3.25 miler, I can take some solace in the fact that pace wise, I actually DID top my own PR 5K pace by a nice 20 seconds/per mile. AND I didn't have any niggers throwing beer bottles out their car windows at me today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I can make up the 9 seconds next time and set a new PR on race day, but my goal was to beat HER PR, so I was kind of disappointed at my time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I got me to thinking.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's probably an abstract idea to try to beat someone else's PR instead of my own, maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself, and perhaps I should lower my expectations a little and be happy next month if I top my own PR.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think she's just a tad out of my league FOR NOW, being a full 00:30/per mile better than my most recent pace, so I'm backing off on my over-reaching predictions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still don't think it is completely out of the realm of possibility, If I have a great race day and the weather happens to be cool, but I'm not going to let it bother me if it does not happen next month, since I got it out of my system today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-7806203609641529144?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7806203609641529144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=7806203609641529144' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7806203609641529144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7806203609641529144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/08/dry-run-not-so-good-alright-not_08.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-3852639812866366166</id><published>2008-08-06T22:30:00.015-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-12T20:09:46.955-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting Beat By Girls:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So even though she lives 5 time-zones away from me, ( Honolulu, HI ) I decided that I'm sick of having girls finish ahead of me in races, ( Known in running circles as&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.half-fast.org/2008/07/chicked-on-my-long-run.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;"getting chicked"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) and ones that take a keen interest in doing so are particularly annoying.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is certainly no glory in beating girls, nor should there be shame in losing to them I suppose, especially white ones, but I'm making it my personal mission, and short-term goal, to top her 5K PR time of 22:19, which is currently far better than mine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although there are a few local females in my area capable of topping this, there are ONLY a few, and it is a very respectable time regardless of gender. Also I have to keep my goals realistic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So her 5K PR pace is 7:10/mile. The next race I plan to run in is a 3.25 miler, ( Slightly longer than a 3.11 5K ) so a 7:10 pace would be 23:17, but I want to beat that, so I need a 23:16 in September.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Or a 22:18 if I decide to run a true 5K before then. This would be close to 2:30 better than my fastest 5K time, but I think I might be able to pull it off. It's a lofty goal, but not out of the question.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although it's highly unlikely me and her would ever meet in the same competitive event, I'll continue to derive inspiration from unorthodox places.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;I can already beat most of the niggers and non-Europeans around here, so I'll look around elsewhere for someone to light a fire under me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-3852639812866366166?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3852639812866366166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=3852639812866366166' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/3852639812866366166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/3852639812866366166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/08/getting-beat-by-girls-so-i-was-reading_06.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SJqBB_wDhyI/AAAAAAAAADw/0t7PWUR3Sas/s72-c/frayed+laces.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-513754934369051654</id><published>2008-07-29T20:01:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-30T17:31:19.990-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Link Changes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Cindy ( Run With Me ) has taken her blog private, so I'm removing her link from my sidebar. Jodi ( Confessions Of A Runner ) has done likewise, so I'm moving the link to her Podbean since both blogs cannot be accessed without an invitation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;I realize some people may have sensitive jobs or something, and if a person that opposes white genocide links to their blog, they get antsy, since it is not p.c. to be a white civil right's activist, or connected in any way to one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;So for their sake, and others I link to, or talk about in the future, I'll say this: "Just because I link to you or say something nice about you does not mean we agree on racial politics, or that we are friends, or have ever even met."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Okay, there you go peoples.

Yes, it is her blog and she has the right to do that, and Jodi, if you read this, I'm glad you and your husband got a kick out of my blog, I really don't dislike you or your husband, just believe y'all are misguided, and have a warped sense of morals and values, but I'm sure you feel the same way about me :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I had been contemplating starting a running blog anyway, I credit Jodi with being my inspiration for doing so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;In Cindy's case, I don't know her personally and won't re-link to her blog if she decides to go public again, in fact I would even take down the photography of her family, and the complimentary things I said if she were to request that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-513754934369051654?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/513754934369051654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=513754934369051654' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/513754934369051654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/513754934369051654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/07/minor-link-changes-cindy-run-with-me.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-3286260440075320666</id><published>2008-07-26T21:09:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-13T02:09:16.702-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;My Diet Plan Going Well:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;My idea of alternating between days of normal eating and taking the "&lt;a href="http://dehydrated-food.net/tabs.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;survival tabs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" seems to be going as well as planned, as I've dropped 9 more pounds in the past month.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I later learned after beginning this strategy that my idea happens to fit in with a fairly new concept called "calorie shifting." This method involves "tricking" your metabolism into non-adjustment by doing the opposite of what it expects you to do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, many people believe that if you starve yourself, you may quickly lose a few pounds, but then your body will adjust and burn less calories, demoralizing you into eating more again, thereby inducing a yo-yo pattern of up-and-down weight loss/gain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically the idea is to not do one thing long enough to effect a change in your metabolic rate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm always skeptical of these new dieting concepts, but what the hey, it seems to be working for me and you only need the high degree of self-discipline every other day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know my other post on this subject seemed to ignore the idea of metabolism rate changes and focused more on strictly calories, but we will at least give some consideration to new topics as this blog evolves and my beliefs revise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear many runners train to "peak" their bodies into top form for the one race that is most important to them, some will train to peak at several points/races during the year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is exactly what I am trying to do, as my favorite race is coming up in September, and it is very important to me that I set a new personal record at this particular race.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-3286260440075320666?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3286260440075320666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=3286260440075320666' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/3286260440075320666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/3286260440075320666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-diet-plan-going-well-my-idea-of.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-42405117642431527</id><published>2008-07-06T04:10:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T14:14:14.698-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Local Running Link:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://roxannesblogspot.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Roxanne's Running Blog Spot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;This is another local running blog to my area.

As far as the idealized weight charts ( that are easily found on an Internet search ) that I was talking about, I forgot to mention that muscular people's "normal" weight will be higher, so if you do weight training you don't need to stick to the weight charts religiously, you can go a bit over their stated weight ranges depending on how muscular you are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Also my comment about Benadryl, where I pointed out that it is the "PM" ingrediant of Tylenol PM, and Advil PM, DO NOT pop those drugs to help you sleep, as they are bad for your liver long-term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;You should buy just the plain Diphenhydramine, ( Benadryl ) if you choose to use it as a sleep aid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-9159721281848455967?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/9159721281848455967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=9159721281848455967' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/9159721281848455967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/9159721281848455967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/06/2-minor-follow-ups-just-wanted-to-add-2_30.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-7253175179929164609</id><published>2008-06-27T16:48:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T17:03:58.625-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Sharing Some Thoughts And Strategies:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;There is a rule of thumb that you can shave 6 seconds off your 5K time for every pound of weight you lose. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;My advice to fellow white runners here is to find one of those charts where you look up your height, sex, and body frame type, and it tells you your idealized weight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Shoot for the low to middle end of the range, but obviously don't overdo it. I figure I can safely lose about 20 more pounds, for a net gain of about 2 minutes off my 5K.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Don't fall for the stupid Atkins scam, or whatever the latest dieting fad is. These are just people making a living peddling their dumb books to sidetrack people onto complex strategies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;White people have known for years that it all boils down to burning more calories than you take in, it need be no more complicated than that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I am going to alternate between days of "normal" eating, and days of taking these &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://dehydrated-food.net/tabs.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;"Survival Tabs."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt; This will acclimate us to an artificial diet that we may need when the race war begins, or should I say for when the rest of society has realized that the race war has already begun? And there are food shortages? I currently take 36 tabs every other day, shooting for about a 2-pound per week weight loss for now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;But in the meantime, for as long as the racially brainwashed lemmings remain asleep, my studies have lead me to believe that artificial diets are not good unless absolutely necessary, hence my alternating days of utilizing this means to an end result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Also, I believe it's better to wear pants that are snug or even slightly too tight, as opposed to walking around in baggy-trouser nigger pants. This keeps your mind focused on losing weight. No one likes to eat a big meal and then have to loosen their belt notch or unsnap their pant, this works for me anyhow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Speaking of niggers, a random thought just entered my head. Why is it that back in the 70's, the niggers used to go around calling everyone a "cat" all the time, i.e. "He's a cool cat." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now everything with them is "What up dog?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Some thoughts On Supplements:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;1) Fish Oil - If you are not a fish eater, it's a safe bet to add some fish oil capsules to your diet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Garlic - I have taken garlic capsules in the past, but I plan to move onto using more of the real McCoy in the future. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Kudzu - I don't use this personally, but I am convinced it helps people who wish to quit or cut down on their drinking of alcohol. ( I personally know of success stories ) Over-indulgence of alcohol is a major problem for our race. Kudzu can be purchased from &lt;a href="http://www.ihealthtree.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;IHealthTree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Chinese doctors have been using this for years, and just because the slant-eyed chinks are ahead of the curve on this one is no good reason for white people not to learn something here. Truth is truth, regardless of the source. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Melatonin - This is a hormone that can help you if you have trouble sleeping, but try to avoid using it excessively. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) CoQ10 - I take several hundred milligrams of this stuff weekly, for overall heart health. Don't overuse it, as long-term effects are not well-studied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;These fall into the drug category, so I separate them:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The responsible thing for me to say here is "Check with a legitimate doctor before using these, although they are available without a prescription." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Aspirin - A baby aspirin or two daily should be considered for someone with a high potential for heart problems. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Benadryl - ( Also known as "Diphenhydramine" ) This is an antihistamine, but is also the "PM" ingredient in Advil PM, and Tylenol PM, in other words it can work as a sedative, to help you sleep. Some doctors have called this a "wonder drug," because it is versatile like aspirin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Red Wine - I do not presently use this, but plan to in the future. ( A glass or two a day ) Dr. Konstantin Frank - Fleur de Pinot Noir is a wine regional to my area that is said to contain large quantities of "Resveratrol," which supposedly has been found to make mice run like Big Brown at the Preakness. I believe you should drink the wine as opposed to taking Resveratrol in another form. You can order it through the mail from &lt;a href="http://www.drfrankwines.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Finger Lakes Winery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Some states won't let you mail order it, I guess they think underage kids will get their hands on it, but it is believed by many that it can greatly extend your life span as well. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has not been extensively tested in humans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-7253175179929164609?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7253175179929164609/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=7253175179929164609' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7253175179929164609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7253175179929164609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/06/sharing-some-thoughts-and-strategies_27.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-7758558387079423235</id><published>2008-06-26T13:03:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T00:46:28.710-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Running Blog Links:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;We'll be adding and removing links as this blog evolves, but here is a quick rundown on what I have so far:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;1) &lt;a href="http://www.steverunner.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Phedippidations:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Most runners agree that this is far and wide the best running blog/pod cast on the Internet. Steve Walker, who goes by the pseudonym "Steve Runner," is a former radio broadcast engineer, who carries those abilities over into what he describes as a "goofy little pod cast."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The name "Phedippidations" comes from the Greek messenger named "Phedippides," who is said to have inspired our modern-day marathons, along with the word "conversations."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;He is a practicing Roman Catholic and Jewish supremacist, but some racially aware members of our white race can learn some good pod casting techniques by listening to his methods and abilities concerning Internet broadcasting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;My main criticism of his pod cast is that he says things that lead you to believe the pod cast is coming to a close, when in reality it tends to drag on. Sort of like rolling the credits in the middle of a movie if you know what I mean.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;a href="http://socialathlete.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Back Of The Pack:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is the blog of a local ( to my area ) late 50'S gentleman who has been making a serious effort to improve his health since his mid-40 couch-potato days. He runs, and even does triathlons, although I believe he is currently injured and not posting much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;3) &lt;a href="http://www.confessionsofarunner.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Confessions Of A Runner:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is Jodi Davis's blog, a pretty white gal from Mississippi. I used to post on her blog a lot, and she even gave me accolades and acknowledgement for doing that, until she found out I was concerned with the survival of the European peoples.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Then she banned me from her blog. It turns out she is the ultimate Jewish supremacist, married to a greasy-looking brown-skinned mud type ( Jeff ) who uses red nail polish on his fingers and toes: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SGPU2dMWmiI/AAAAAAAAADA/MRM7VPCWM1c/s1600-h/greasyredtoenailJeff.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216246825439631906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SGPU2dMWmiI/AAAAAAAAADA/MRM7VPCWM1c/s320/greasyredtoenailJeff.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; They would certainly both be hung by the neck until dead under the Turner Diary protocols, on the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dayoftherope.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ay Of The Rope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I only include this link for &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt; for any value it may have to the white running community in the meantime. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also want to point out that I never said anything disrespectful of her or her abhorrent lifestyle as a miscegenator when I posted on her blog, nor did I go to her blog seeking to "convert" her or her friends to a less derogatory lifestyle, and kept the topic almost strictly to running.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a sad modern-day real-life example of how our race is losing the minds of nice-looking white ladies. ( And guys for that matter ) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isn't it ironic how all of those people who claim to be very "tolerant" of other people's befief's, traditions, etc. are in reality only tolerant of those who agree with them? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-7758558387079423235?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7758558387079423235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=7758558387079423235' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7758558387079423235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/7758558387079423235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/06/running-blog-links-well-be-adding-and.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_NjIXD6MAMCU/SGPU2dMWmiI/AAAAAAAAADA/MRM7VPCWM1c/s72-c/greasyredtoenailJeff.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-528683766134121505</id><published>2008-06-24T23:54:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-24T23:55:29.419-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Home Run 5K Troy, NY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;On June 21st, 2008 I ran in the 3rd annual "Valley Cat Home Run" 5K race organized out of Joe Bruno stadium, a baseball field which serves as a class "A" affiliate for the major league Houston Astros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Surprisingly, Joe Bruno, a local politician whom the stadium is named after, announced his retirement a few days after this event.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;This was my fastest 5K ever, I have set a new "PR" ( Personal Record ) in every single solitary 5K I have ever run in to date. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I even surprised myself in this one, because I beat my best time by over a minute and a half, yet found the course seemingly more challenging than the race I ran in just 6 days prior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I used a GPS device during the run, ( &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.motionlingo.com/index.cfm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;An Adeo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt; ) I think it helps greatly by whispering in your ear buds once a minute with updates on your pace, letting you know where you stand in relation to what you know you are capable of, so that you can adjust accordingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I'm sure if they knew a white preservationist were endorsing their product, they'd do the politically correct bullshit game and find something unpleasant to say about me, but I'd still tell the truth about it being a good product anyhow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;This one went off well, and I am very thankful there were no niggers or non-whites close in front of me as I approached the finish line because I really laid it all out for this one and to be honest, I don't know if I could have passed anyone giving me a significant challenge at the end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;There was one bald-headed white guy whom I passed right before the finish line, but I could tell from the noises emanating from his body that he was gassed out too, and incapable of out-sprinting me for the finish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;I didn't even have to look back to tell, I just knew, although ironically he had always been just in front of me for almost the entire race.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-528683766134121505?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/528683766134121505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=528683766134121505' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/528683766134121505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/528683766134121505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/06/home-run-5k-troy-ny-on-june-21st-2008-i_645.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-8485518210486032119</id><published>2008-06-24T20:12:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-29T11:18:15.496-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Father's Day 5K:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;On June 15, 2008 I ran in the Father's Day 5k at the Crossings park, Colonie, NY. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;I finished well into the top half, but I will not post my actual race times on this blog until I am truly proud of them, as I have been constantly improving, but have nowhere near reached my full potential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ultimate goal is to be one of the top local 5K runners in the Capital region area of Jew York State.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;One of the reasons I like to run is that at least in my area, the sport of running is not dominated by non-whites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Some personal experiences during the race:&lt;br /&gt;1) I observed some people cheating, cutting the corners of the paved trails off by kitty-cornering across the grass. White people should not behave this way, it sets a bad example for our racial brethren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;2) I have an unorthodox run/walk style of racing, I hear a famous runner named "Jeff Galloway" endorses this method although I did not learn it from him, nor do I plan on buying his books. Well anyway, I passed a pretty blond 11-year old girl about 5 times during the race, but every time I slowed to drink water she passed me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Towards the end of the race when the finish line was in sight, there was a nigger in front of me, along with two whites. It would not bother me if a nigger well beyond my skill level beat me, but I would be devastated mentally if one at my level did. So I poured it on with everything I had left and dusted the nigger. ( and the two whites running near him ) I kept looking behind me after I passed him to see if he was going to challenge me for the finishing spot, but he was blissfully content to run the same pace he had been, so luckily I didn't have to go into heart-attack mode to stave him off. The two whites behaved likewise, some people are just like that, running a very steady pace no matter what.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;The 11-year old blond white girl was a different story however. She had a very determined heart like a good white girl should and accelerated her pace to a frantic level towards the end, to the point I knew I didn't stand a chance of beating her, and she finished ahead of me. Of course many others finished ahead of me but she sticks out in my mind because of the back and forth passing we did of each other throughout the race.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;I found it amusing to finish between a big-ass muscular nigger and a little young white girl. The genetic contrasts were hilariously opposing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3) I met a nice elderly gentleman named "Bob." We are at the same skill level, but he is much older than I and so wins age-group awards almost every time he runs. He beat me by over a minute in this particular race, but I got him 6 days later in another race I may or may not report on.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-8485518210486032119?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/8485518210486032119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=8485518210486032119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8485518210486032119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8485518210486032119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/06/fathers-day-5k-on-june-15-2008-i-ran-in_24.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527483219411170141.post-8511527552508115857</id><published>2008-06-24T18:54:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-25T00:01:19.768-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Run For Race: Introduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since many of our distinguished leaders in the struggle for white survival have been urging us to get our minds and bodies in shape for the upcoming race war, I have decided to start a blog about my hobby, the sport of running.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog will leave no stone unturned, it will serve multi-purposes, such as assisting other running enthusiasts, along with some educational political commentary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will discuss some experimental techniques pertaining to running, using everyday street language.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sort of decided to start the blog on a whim, and so it may seem somewhat disjointed as opposed to a serious literatary-related endeavor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But running is an excellent way for any white person to keep in good shape for when the shit hits the fan, and you have roving bands of savage non-white beasts in the streets looking to cause mayhem and destruction, raping, robbing, and pillaging.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog may eventually include a podcast companion, I haven't decided on that yet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5527483219411170141-8511527552508115857?l=runforrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/feeds/8511527552508115857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5527483219411170141&amp;postID=8511527552508115857' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8511527552508115857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5527483219411170141/posts/default/8511527552508115857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runforrace.blogspot.com/2008/06/run-for-race-introduction-since-many-of.html' title=''/><author><name>Oscar Yeager</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423355923299941565</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='21' src='http://www.natall.com/images/books/140.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
