I did it in June and it was fun enough. Don't go expecting to have a serious run, you get slowed down by the "color stations" and there were a ton of walkers. The only bad part was trying to get the blue color out of my hair and off my skin for an hour afterwards. Its worth it if you have a group to do it for fun and you…

Never really thought about it that much... here's a few: - Complete C25k (this week) - Run a 5k (this fall) - 5 minute plank (january) - Run a 10k (spring) - Wear a size L t-shirt - 100 pushups in a single set

There's some research that shows that stretching before sustained exercises (running, swimming, etc) aren't worthwhile because you're not really putting a lot of strain on the tendons whereas stretching before "bursty" exercises (soccer, basketball, etc) help limber up tendons that will be getting jerked back and forth a…

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.... yea?

Congrats, that is an awesome accomplishment. I am going to finish C25k this week and can't be prouder of myself. Its surprising how much 8 weeks of exercise can really change your life. Don't let the increasing length intimidate you, it's pretty much smooth sailing after week 5 day 3... just get through the tough first 5…

I do this too... place it right next to my hands and hit it when I get set.... it doesn't have to be exact.
-
It is right.... then it drops back down on week 6 day 1.... week 6 day 3 is like 22 minutes or something and then it is 25+ from their on out. Its really not that bad though, you'll notice that the walking isn't really doing you all that much.
-
Yeah, its weird if you ask me... although I hate being naked even at home, really... so what do I know?
-
I can only do like 30-40 seconds at the moment.... I've been working on it and hope to be doing 1 minute at some point, soon.
-
Hell yeah, great work. I'm thinking about trying this next summer, thanks for the inspiration!

Humans have a symbiotic relationship with many organisms... in fact, humans can hardly survive without the organisms we've evolved to live with. My guess is that the "5%" are actually the unhealthy ones....

Wow, this is an awesome goal.... I hope to be able to do this at some point. You guys are killing it....

Wow.... precious database space was spent on this post.... awesome... :indifferent:

Even worse when Christians pull out the "no true Scotsman" logical fallacy in order to distance themselves from the f'd up crap they're party to.

Hi, and welcome. I joined the Cincinnati hikers meetup a while back. I never went to any of them yet, though, because I'm averse to trying new things ;) http://www.meetup.com/hike-cincinnati/

I'm planning on doing Run Like Hell this October.... its not a true 5k, I don't think, but will be really fun...
-
Yay, confirmation bias!

My partner had the same problem when we started c25k, but after powering through a few weeks of it, she hasn't had any problems since. I was having a lot of trouble with my lower leg muscles tiring out midway, and that also seemed to dissipate around week 5... stick with it.

Oh man... I wish.... so jealous.

I've been going through something similar.... pretty much trying to get out of the cycle of going out to places I don't enjoy with people I don't particularly want to see... all leading me to drink way more than I'd like to, because that is all my *friends* seem to ever want to do. Since the beginning of the year, I've…

Whoa wtf? I thought carrot.... probably just luck.

On an individual level, probably just fade to black. Who knows? I struggle more with the idea that "time" doesn't really make sense. Especially considering that as you go back toward the big bang to a point at which space-time didn't really exist, therefore if you go far enough back in time, there ends up being no concept…
-
I had the opposite problem, when I started watching a bunch of TAM and Skepticon videos, it started populating my sidebar with Christian apologist videos! So I started listening to a ton of death metal to purge them....
-
LOL.... no.... and most of the traditional myths of afterlife sound like horrible fates.

If a guy can't cook, he probably isn't capable of maintaining a household. It's not brain surgery. I like cooking.... its rewarding to eat something you made yourself. It also usually tastes better.
-
I say grab some wings.... enjoy them and move on. That's the best way to deal with cravings. As soon as you're depriving yourself of foods you like, you're just going to start loathing your eating habits.... just do things in moderation....
