My name is Daniel. Well I finally started something that I have wanted to do for some time. I started the 8 week 5K training program.  I motivated myself to get up off the couch and start a running program.  I am a Type II diabetic and needed to start this program to reduce my glucose levels and start to live a healthy  lifestyle. November 6, was the first day of training. I am following the training plan listed on this site. After the first day, my legs were really hurting. But ...

There are a few phrases out there which belie their actually meaning. I've been watching a lot of bad movies lately and it seems like when someone starts out a conversation with "Hey friend..." that means that the smack is about to go down. Their is no warmth in the greeting. Clearly, there is an agenda about to be enforced.   A couple of weeks ago, I was out on a five-hour ride and decided to stop in one of my favorite local stores out on the California coast a few miles south of San Fran...

I finished the Longhorn Half Ironman in Austin, TX setting a Personal Record of 4:50:23 finish. The PR was unexpected as my focus was a fast swim and transitions.  I had not been able to put the training time into the bike and had been nursing a sore Achilles with little running time. After a fast swim and T1 I held on through the bike. Once on the run I saw the PR was possible and just needed to maintain my pace.  The run course was three loops and fill with something different at...

I took the starting line in Washington DC at the Army 10 miler with 21,289 other people on Oct 4th. It could not have a better day for a 10 mile run through DC. I was fortunate to be wearing the new Saucony Triumph 7’s . I had received them a couple of days before. Not only do they look fast, they made me feel fast. I set a PR of 1:11:53 finish, which put me on a 7:11/mile pace. I did not start with that in mind. The first 2 miles rolled by at 8:00/mile pace and then the congestion thi...

I am still a newbie to the sport of running. The only running I have really done in my life is to run to the refrigerator for a bite to eat, or running after my kids. I am the mother of 3, Step-mother to 4 more, and Step-Grandma of 2= a total of 9 kids in one shape or form that make a fantastic family for my husband and myself. I started a new job roughly a year ago.  A new co-worker had been discussing her "runs" and the enjoyment that she got out of it. To be quite honest, I didn't know ...

Autumn Internationals Week One Betting Previews   Saturday, 07 November 2009 England v Australia , 14:30 Wales v New Zealand, 17:15   No Australian team made the finals of the Super 14 this season. Australia have lost five of their last six games, and not only that, but they were losers on the bookmakers’ handicaps, too. And yet, the layers believe that the Wallabies are a considerably better team than England in the opener to the autumn international series at Twickenham on Sa...

My First 21k Run in hefte's Blog

Posted by hefte Nov 5, 2009
So I'm not really a serious runner, biking has been my number one sport but when my friends insisted that we would join an Iron Man triathlon next season, I really had to prepare well. We then planned out our training regime. My girlfriend said that I should hire a personal trainer. A suggestion which I did not bother to think about because the people in our neighborhood that I know whom hired a trainer were either two men living together or housewives which lay around all day while their hus...

You've heard that you should stay away from added sugar -- here's another reason. Researchers reporting in the November issue of Cell Metabolism ,  say it might also be taking years off your life.   By adding just a small amount of glucose to C. elegans usual fare of straight bacteria, they found the worms lose about 20 percent of their usual life span. They trace the effect to insulin signals, which can block other life-extending molecular players. Although the findings are in worm...

I am 46 years old today. I have a dream: I want to attend a Yoga and Surfing retreat week before I am fifty.  I would love to learn to surf and the key seems to be stamina and balance. I have really no idea how to prepare or take steps toward that goal.  There are so many things to think about: money, time, take the family?, leave the family behind?, where to actually go: Vancouver? North Carolina? Califorinia? I started cycling and running in order to get in shape so I could acutall...
