Not sure how to proceed with my training after the swine flu...

BendMama — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:47:18 GMT

Hi! I'm training for my first full marathon, the A1A Ft. Lauderdale Marathon on Feb. 21. I've been following Hal Higdon's novice training schedule and I had just finished my long run for week three when I came down with the swine flu. It was a step back week, so it was only a 5 miler (that was one week ago.) Today I was suppose to run a 9 miler, but I haven't run all week and there was no way I could do it today. My lungs are still really sore and I get winded going up the stairs, so I think it could realistically be another 3 or 4 days before I'm ready to run. My next long run is an eleven miler in a week (I'm not too concerned about missing the short mid week runs, but I'm really worried missing my long runs.)

So, my question is... when I'm ready to start running again do I just pretend I haven't missed any time and jump right back into my schedule (even if I have to walk a lot of that next 11 mile run?) Or do I need to back up and make up what I've missed (but then I'm worried I'll be running my 20 miler too close to the marathon.) Any ideas?

Thanks!

Detroit Marathon 2009

SteveSavvy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:22:50 GMT

I recently completed my first marathon last weekend in Detroit with a time of 3:37:30. I took pictures throughout the race and was fortunate enough to be mentioned on Time Magazine's Assignment Detroit section. If you're interested, take a look at the article here; http://detroit.blogs.time.com/2009/10/19/photo-essay-detroit-at-her-best/.

I was also hoping to connect with any runners in the Detroit Marathon and any pace runners in it. If it wasn't for the 3:40:00 pace group I would've been in trouble. Feel free to comment on any of the photos, especially if you see yourself in any.

Turkey Travel & Holiday Tips

johnsmith0 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:50:03 GMT

Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey has enormously diverse scenery, with rolling central plains, soaring mountains, desert and orchards, white sand beaches and towering sea cliffs. The Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Selçuks, Ottomans, Armenians and a host of smaller civilizations have all added intricate layers of architecture, art and culture, creating a mosaic as rich as any of the gilded Byzantine glories. Today, Turkey's thousands of kilometers of magnificent coast, sunshine and fine food have turned it into a major tourist destination. Much more than that, it is still fascinating culturally - a modern, westernised country, with a largely Muslim population, cautiously spanning the divide between religions and cultures.

SPAMMERS AND UNAUTHORIZED WEB LINKS ON ETEAMZ COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARDS

oldhardballer — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:20:11 GMT

Why is Active.com allowing SPAMMERS and UNAUTHORIZED WEBLINKS (which are selling products) to be placed in the Baseball Community Message Boards? There is a section in the ETEAMZ posting board that says 'REPORT ABUSE" which we do quite often. No actions are taken and these posts remain on our boards. More and more vendors and illicit posts are appearing since no action is being taken? I wonder how your PAID ADVERTISERS would feel to know that FREE posting are being allowed which sell the same products they do??? I have suggested a Board Member be appointed with the authority to delete these unauthorized posts with the stipulation that it be reported to yourselves, with a detailed explanation as to why this action was taken. I have been re-directed from ETeams Support (stating they arent the ones responsible) to ACTIVE.COM, who sent me a notice to post a complaint??? and to sent them a copy of the post?? Why does ETEAMZ have a report abuse section if it is worthless?? My membership name is Oldhardballer and i have been a member of ETEAMZ since 01. The numbers of SPAMMERS and WEBLINKS selling products increase daily causing many members to abandon the forums. I ask that you do something. My email is looking2bye@yahoo.com I await your reply.

Mobile Phone Accessories

molskimariann — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:35:40 GMT

Mobile phones have now become our best friends. We carry a cell phone with us wherever we go. To have a mobile phone and its accessories is kind of a competition among a lot of individuals, especially those from the younger generation. Apart from regular mobile phone accessories like mobile cases, mobile earphones, mobile headphone or mobile chargers etc, there are other newly launched mobile phone accessories in the market. One of them is the Bluetooth enabled hands free phone adapter. This is one mobile phone accessory which you can clip over your car’s mirror and plug it into the power socket. You can do the set up to communicate with your mobile phone and in minutes you’ll be able to talk hands free. This mobile phone accessory is more like a rearview mirror and you’ll be able to see the incoming numbers displayed on the mirror. It also contains a built in speaker. The price of this mobile phone accessory is about $140.

Another device is the Cell stik. This mobile phone accessory is a device in which you can store your backup, enter, edit and transfer your cell phone contacts. If you have lost your cell phone and all the important information and contact numbers, Cell Stik is the perfect mobile phone accessory to purchase. It is easy and safe to use. You’ll thus have a safe backup of your cell phone phonebook. At times we find entering and editing the contact information very difficult and time consuming. Cell Stik can be really useful. Cell Stik mobile phone accessory will cost you $39.
