This time last year, I struggled with my New Year�s resolution to go to the gym.
This year I have made significant progress. I am going to the gym on a semi-regular basis. And by semi-regular, I mean, I go often enough that I actually remember where it�s located between visits.
The bad news, however, is that my workouts are just, how would you say it? Lame. Yes, they�re lame. I am a lazy gym rat. I wouldn�t even call myself a rat. I�m more like a lazy gym sloth. I get bored on the elliptical and then switch to a bike, and then I get bored on the bike and switch to a treadmill, and then get bored on the treadmill and switch to something that moves my arms and legs at the same time in different directions and looks like a medieval torture device. I even tried a few classes, but apparently those were made for Amazonian wonder women who can shoot an arrow from their inner thighs while boxing and doing burpees. I can do burpees, too, but with me it involves gas and means something completely different.
Had I gotten exercise credit for all the times I changed machines, it might have actually been a pretty good workout. Kind of like when I walk downstairs from the bedroom to the kitchen to get a cupcake and then back up again. Come to think of it, maybe that�s not such a great analogy.
But anyway, one day I faced the fact that I�m not really motivated and not getting anywhere with my workouts, so I asked another gym goer how she got her gym mojo.
�I got a personal trainer,� she said. �He kicks my butt.�
I nodded but I wasn�t sure that actually sounded like a good thing. Now, if she said, �I got a personal trainer and he gives me molten chocolate lava cake when we finish working out,� I could definitely get on board with that. But I would imagine that kind of defeats the purpose of getting your butt kicked, much like counting walking downstairs on my way to get a cupcake from the kitchen as exercise.
Maybe it�s becoming a little clearer now why this whole diet and exercise thing has been a challenge for me.
Still, the gym was running a special on training so I decided to give it a month and see if having someone yell at me while I�m on the medieval torture device would help me overcome my lack of gym-thusiasm.
(On a side note, all the trainers at my gym are in their 20�s and built like Chris Hemsworth, which may or may not be one of the reasons I decided to sign up. Naturally, they assigned me a female trainer.)
I told my new trainer, Val, I wanted to get fit and lose fat. But before I could start training, she gave me a fitness test to see which areas I needed to strengthen. I gave it everything I had, but ultimately it was determined that I had the flexibility of a cement block and the stamina of a tired bulldog. So, she decided to start me at the cement block/tired bulldog level � basically the same level at which they start people in nursing homes.
�Okay, girlfriend, I set up a circuit for you,� she finally said enthusiastically. �We�re going to start with a set of side planks first. These will help you with your muffin top. Then we�re going to do a set of squats for your banana folds. And finally, tricep pulldowns for your chicken wings.�
I looked at her, turned around, and picked up my bag to leave.
�Where are you going?� she asked.
�I�m going to get breakfast,� I said. �I have no idea what you just said, but all this talk about muffins, bananas and chicken wings made me hungry.�

Today is the 11th day of a 12-day feature where we'll show you the strangest Apple-flavored gifts we can find. Check out the previous days here: Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Day 11: Give your iPhone a touch of oh-my-god is that brushed copper?
Most iPhone docks try to match the modern look of the phone itself, with black plastic and clean lines dominating the market. The Pyle Retro Home Telephone Charger takes things back in time, letting you plug your Apple smartphone into an elegant work of stained wood and brushed copper. But this dock is just as much about function as it is about flash, as the old-school handset station is also a fully functional chatting device that can be used with either a separate landline or as a stand-in for your iPhone.
If you've got someone on your gift list who begrudgingly entered the age of smartphones against their will, this might be the perfect gift. You can give them a trip back to early 20th century telephony while also providing them a useful accessory for their less wood-adorned communication device. Oh, and it's downright gorgeous, too, all for an Amazon sale price of US$79.09.

The simplest way to express what Christ asks us to believe about the Real Presence is that the Eucharist is really He. The Real Presence is the real Jesus. We are to believe that the Eucharist is Jesus Christ - simply, without qualification. It is God become man in the fullness of His divine nature, in the fullness of His human nature, in the fullness of His body and soul, in the fullness of everything that makes Jesus Jesus. That is what our Catholic Faith demands of us, that we believe. If we believe this, we are Catholic. If we do not, we are not, no matter what people may think we are.

The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology is a non-profit research and educational institute that promotes life-transforming Scripture study in the Catholic tradition. The Center serves clergy and laity, students and scholars, with research and study tools — from books and publications to multimedia and on-line programming.
Our goal is to be a teacher of teachers. We want to raise up a new generation of priests who are fluent in the Bible and lay people who are biblically literate. For us, this means more than helping people to know their way around the Bible. It means equipping them to enter into the heart of the living Word of God and to be transformed and renewed by this encounter.
We read the Bible from the heart of the Church, in light of the Church's Liturgy and living Tradition. In this way, we hope to help people experience the heart-to-heart encounter that Jesus' disciples experienced on that first Easter night, when they knew Him in the breaking of the bread: "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us…while He opened to us the Scriptures?" (see Luke 24:13-37)

Catholics Come Home
Catholics Come Home, Inc. is an independent, non-profit Catholic apostolate that creates effective and compassionate media messages and broadcasts them nationally and internationally, in order to inspire, educate and evangelize inactive Catholics and others, and invite them to live a deeper faith in Jesus Christ, in accord with the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church.
Pittsburgh Priest
In a world in which job descriptions, credentials, and deadlines are often thought to define the individual, a priest stands out—not because his daily life is not routinely marked by all three of those things, but because the essence of his calling lies elsewhere.
Catholics believe that a true call to the Priesthood comes from God, and that the Sacrament of Holy Orders marks a man in a fundamental way, as a priest who will serve others, proclaim—and live out—the Gospel, offer daily the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and administer the sacraments.
It is not a life for the faint of heart—but for those who are called, the rewards are tremendous.
Institute on Religious Life
Since 1974, the IRL has been a collaborative effort of Catholic bishops, priests, religious and laity to foster and strengthen vocations to the consecrated life. All members of the Church can participate in the IRL's mission. As Pope Saint John Paul the Great wrote, every Christian is responsible for the consecrated life, and for supporting vocations.
Catholics On Call
Catholics on Call supports Catholic young adults (ages 18-30) as they strive to discover God's call in their lives, and explore the possibility of a life of service in the Church.
A national vocation discovery program of the Bernardin Center at Catholic Theological Union, Catholics on Call is dedicated to helping young adults from diverse backgrounds explore a call to ministry in the Church and to learn about leadership roles as lay ecclesial ministers, men or women religious, or ministry as ordained deacons or priests.

Catholic College Students:
Choosing a School, Finding a Faith Community and Getting Financial Aid
While some Catholic college students have chosen to attend one of the 250 degree-granting Catholic colleges and universities in the United States, plenty of non-Catholic students choose to attend these schools as well. With total enrollment of over 800,000 students, these institutions have a basis in Catholic beliefs, but they also deliver a high-quality education. Catholic students who don't choose to attend a Catholic university can still find a wealth of community and campus support dedicated to practicing and even strengthening their faith at many of the non-Catholic colleges and universities around the country.
Whether a student chooses to attend a Catholic school or opts for a public college, there is a scholarship opportunity out there for them.

Jonathan and Drew Scott, HGTV's The "Property Brothers", share why they love Habitat and how Habitat can build affordable housing – utilizing volunteers on the build (we typically have over 300 volunteers on each house!) and making great purchasing decisions.
Our Habitat houses are well-built, attractive, energy efficient and Energy Star! Habitat families report that their utility bills are usually 1/3rd of what they paid in their rental housing! Habitat home mortgage payments are typically $500 – $700, whereas they used to pay $800-$1000 a month for their rental housing! So Habitat families save in many ways by BUYING their home instead of renting!!

Short presentation
Ph.D. Professor of Sociology & Chair of Social Gerontology, as well as Scientific Leader (w-Prof. Hannah Bradby) of the Research Group on Welfare and Lifecourse at the Dept. of Sociology of Uppsala University. The Gerontological Society of America awarded Prof. Torres the Fellow status "In recognition of outstanding achievement and exemplary contributions to the field of gerontology" in 2017. She was also elected into the (Swedish) Royal Society of Sciences in 2016.
Also available at
My courses
Prof. Torres – who holds both a Professorship in Sociology and the Chair in Social Gerontology at Uppsala University - is a sociologist of aging who has conducted numerous studies that problematize old age-related constructs; shed critical light on commonly used methods in health and social care and deconstruct some of the taken for granted assumptions that guide policy and practice for the older segments of our populations. This is why she is often regarded as a critical gerontologist.
Her main contributions to research on aging and old age are based on research that has aimed to expand the social gerontological imagination through the use of knowledge gathered in the sociology of aging, the sociology of ethnicity/ migration as well as social work (her first professorship appointment was in this discipline) and the caring sciences (her second professorship appointment – which was in Norway – was in rehabilitation and aging). Her research has been awarded grants from the two main Swedish research councils for social sciences (VR and FORTE) and has been a part of some of the research programs, centers of excellence and research schools on aging that the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research (FORTE) has funded over the past decade.
Prof. Torres leads - together with Prof. Hannah Bradby - the Research Group on Welfare and Lifecourse at Uppsala University's Dept. of Sociology. This research group - which she founded together with Prof. Rafael Lindqvist in 2012 - brings together close to thirty researchers working on welfare related issues. Since 2011 she leads also The Social Gerontology Group which is comprised of researchers in social gerontology from Uppsala University, Stockholm University and Gävle University College. For insight into the current research projects that these groups are conducting see the homepage links below. A list of the current projects which Prof. Torres is running at the moment - which range from projects on need assessment practice, cross-cultural interaction in palliative care, media representations of culture-related issues in daily newspaper reporting on elderly care to the kind of theoretically based projects focusing on ethnicity and migration for which she is known - can be found on the website of the Research Group on Welfare and Lifecourse (see link below).
Prof. Torres was one of the scientific experts who worked on the latest policy plan on quality within elderly care that the the Swedish Government launched in 2017 (which in Swedish is called the SOU Nationella Kvalitetsplan för Äldreomsorgen). Sandra is also a member of both the Steering and the Management Committee for the COST- research network on old age and social exclusion (ROSENet). Together with Prof. Ariela Lowenstein (Haifa University, Israel), she co-leads the Working Group on Civic Exclusion in this COST-funded network (a network that brings together 140+ researchers in 35 countries). She is also one of the few scholars in Europe that co-chairs an interest group for the Gerontological Society of America and is the President of the the Research Committee on Aging of the Int'l. Sociological Association. She stepped down as President of the Swedish Gerontological Society (SGS) and as a council member to the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) in 2015 after having held both of these positions since 2009.
Prof. Torres has represented Sweden in several research networks financed by the former European Science Foundation and NORFACE-ERA NET and has also been a part of some of the networks for aging research that the Swedish Research Council for Working Life and Social Research (FORTE) has funded through the years. Sandra has authored over 80 publications and has presented her work in 100+ international conferences . She is also one of the first European Research Area on Aging FLARE grant recipients (FLARE stands for Future Leader of Aging Research in Europe) as well as one of the founders of, and Associate Editors for, one of the first open-access journals in gerontology: the International Journal of Ageing and Later Life. In addition, she sits on the Editorial Board for established peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Aging Studies, Ethnicity & Health and Socialvetenskaplig Tidskrift as well as for recently launched ones such as Vulnerable Groups & Inclusion (re-launched in Sept. of 2015 as Society, Health and Vulnerability). Between 2010-2014 she served also in the Editorial Board of the Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences and in the board of Social Policy and Society (between 2009-2014).
Her latest book is entitled Ethnicity & Old Age: Expanding our Imagination (published in 2019 by Policy Press). In 2016 she edited two collections for Routledge: one entitled Ageing in Context of Migrations (edited together with Ute Karl) which was published in the Routledge Advances in Sociology Series and another entitled Older People and Migration: Challenges for Social Work (edited together with Susan Lawrence).
The Social Gerontology Group
Since 2011, Prof. Torres leads The Social Gerontology Group at the Department of Sociology. This group builds on a tradition from 1976, when the late Prof. em. Lars Tornstam (who held the first Chair in Social Gerontology at this department) initiated the first academic courses in Gerontology at Uppsala university and, together with a group of devoted researchers, launched a series of gerontological research projects a couple of years later.
These research projects were conducted within the framework of a large national multidisciplinary gerontological program - Elderly in Society - Past, Present and in the Future. The outcome of this program showed, among other things, the necessity of academic gerontolocical research in more stable forms. The program published 35 research reports and three books (all in Swedish).
In 1990 the Swedish Government decided to establish three new chairs with gerontological orientation - one of them is the Chair in Social Gerontology at Uppsala University that the late Prof. em. Lars Tornstam held prior to retirement and that Prof. Torres holds since the Fall of 2010. With this chair as a basis, the Social Gerontology Group was formally established.
The Social Gerontology Group aims at establishing social gerontology at Uppsala University by means of both research and education, as well as network activities. The program invests in nurturing and schooling new Ph.D.& post-docs in the sociology of aging as well as teaching in the educational programs that are offered at the Department of Sociology.
The members of the Social Gerontology Group, of which some today hold positions at other Swedish universities, meet on a regular basis to discuss their ongoing projects and drafts for publication.

Haddrake Tor was the scene of a great battle between the Imperial Fists Space Marines and the Forces of Chaos. The battle for Haddrake Tor lasted for 3 standard years and involved both the 1st and 2nd Companies of the Imperial Fists. Tragedy occurred when Captain Darnath Lysander of the 2nd Company led a Drop Pod assault into the rugged terrain of the world's vast mountain ranges. Once the region was claimed for the Imperial Fists, Lysander set up Teleport Homer devices to allow the Terminators of the 1st Company under the command of Captain Kleitus to teleport further down the mountainside.
Unfortunately, the Heretics present on the planet had manipulated the Warp in such a fashion as to disrupt all attempts at teleportation. The 1st Company's Terminators began to materialise within the mountainside's bare rock or over deep precipices where they fell to their deaths. Captain Kleitus himself materialised within a portion of the rockface. Facing an agonising death, Kleitus handed his unique Power Hammer, the Fist of Dorn, to Lysander and then expired. Lysander went on to lead the Imperial Fists to victory at Haddrake Tor and was promoted as a result to serve as the new Captain of the 1st Company.

Tagged: Stephen Strasburg
Super Stras!
Per nationals.com — in five AFL regular-season starts, Stephen Strasburg allowed 15 hits and nine earned runs in 19 innings — for an ERA of 4.26 — with seven walks and 23 strikeouts. Aside from one bad start — giving up seven earned runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings to the Peoria Javelinas on Oct. 22 — he went 4-0 with a 1.10 ERA.
Another Superman for the Nationals!
By the way, I thought this excerpt from the above linked article was interesting:
Strasburg had just completed essentially his first month as a professional pitcher, and was caught off guard by one question:
How has pitching with a hefty bank account been different?
The tall right-hander gathered himself for an answer.
"That never enters my mind," said Strasburg, the recipient of a $17 million five-year package from the Nationals. "At San Diego State, I was only concerned with trying to put the team on the map.
"Now, I'm just trying to work as hard as I can to prepare to pitch in as high a level as the Nationals will want me. There will always be pressure no matter where you pitch. You always have to prove yourself and answer expectations.
Good answer, kid! I'm not sure if I believe you…$17 million is a lot of money to ignore…but it was still a good answer!
0-7 at the beginning, 7-0 at the end
The season is over for the Washington Nationals. In many ways, I agree with this Mets fan about the end of the season finally being here.
It's been a difficult, frustrating, infuriating, and downright painful season, which began with 7 straight losses. For the second year in a row, the Nationals lost over 100 games. They actually won the same number of games in 2009 as in 2008 (59) but lost one more game (103) this year because their final home game of 2008 was rained out and not rescheduled. (Ironically, the Yankees 2009 regular season record was 103-59.) Needless to say, my prediction of a 75-87 record was way off! So many things went wrong for the Nats in 2009…dreadful pitching (mostly by the bullpen but also by some of the starters)…non-existent offense at times…poor defense and too many errors…even a wardrobe malfunction.
But despite the intense suckitude displayed by the Nationals for most of the 2009 season, there were also some good things that happened this year. In no particular order, some of 2009's highlights include:
- Bidding adieu to Jim Bowden and Manny Acta. Bowden was a moron; Acta was not. Acta seemed like a very nice guy, but, quite frankly, he sucked as a manager. Granted, he didn't have a lot to work with, but that doesn't change the fact that he was horrednous.
- A 33-42 (.440) record under interim manager Jim Riggleman
- Josh Willingham's 2 grand slams in the 7/27 game vs. Milwaukee.
- Adam Dunn hitting his 300th career home run (I was at that game).
- Drafting, and then signing, Stephen Strasburg…and not breaking the bank in the process.
- Adam Dunn's surprising improvement at 1B. He's definitely not gold-glove caliber (and probably never will be), but his defense has improved. And, if nothing else, he's a big target at first. His defense at first base is certainly better than it was in left field.
- The acquistion of Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett. Morgan (a/k/a Tony Plush) in particular provided a tremendous spark, and his presence in the lineup as well as in center field was greatly missed after he went on the DL.
- Justin Maxwell, who provided two of the greatest moments of the season: stealing a home run away from Baltimore Orioles' Adam Jones with a phenomenal over-the-wall catch at Nationals Park back in May, and his walk-off home run off of Francisco Rodríguez in the final home game of the season to defeat the Mets, and complete the sweep.
- Jordan Zimmermann's MLB debut, and first win, in April. I was there…it was a rainy night, and a lot of people left early, so sticking around for the final out and the win was especially fun. (I hope Zimm2 makes a full recovery from Tommy John surgery and comes back stronger than ever.)
- John Lannan and Craig Stammen beating the Yankees in June. I felt very conflicted about that series at the time, but in retrospect, that series definitely ended up being one of the most memorable series of the season.
- Not getting swept by the Red Sox. It's the little things that mean a lot in a 103-loss season.
- The 8-game winning streak in August.
- The 7-game winning streak to end the season.
- The emergence of John Lannan as the leader of the Nationals pitching staff. People believed that he would fall apart because he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts and just isn't dominant enough. His first few starts of the season weren't good, and he hit a rough patch in August, but came back for a strong finish in September.
- Ryan Zimmerman — his 30-game hit streak was easily the biggest highlight of the season…despite some throwing issues early in the season, his defense was gold-glove caliber…and signing him to a 5-year deal ensures that the "face of the franchise" will wear a Nationals uniform for a long time.
And now, even though the postseason is in full swing, I'm feeling a bit of sadness and withdrawal. Despite another 100+ loss season and all of the agony that went along with it, I'm sad that the Nationals' season is over. Maybe it's just the residual good feelings from the end-of-the-season 7-game winning
streak…or maybe it's the fact that I upgraded the seats in my season
ticket plan (I'll be behind home plate instead of near the right field
corner)…or perhaps a combination of both. I attended the Nats' final home game — in which Justin Maxwell hit the walk-off home run — and it was such an incredible way to end the home schedule. But it left me wanting more…more improvement, more wins. If only the Nationals could have played like that more often during the course of the season and had more incredible comebacks like that.
I am full of hope for next year. The 7-game winning streak at the end of the season was a very exciting way to end a miserable season. Granted, those 7 wins came against an awful Mets team and a deflated Braves team that had just been knocked out of wild card contention…it's not like we swept the Phillies and the Dodgers. Nevertheless, I am very hopeful that 2010 will be better. I'm hopeful that the Nats can get the starting pitcher that they need. I'm hopeful that the Nationals can settle their situation at second base. I'm hopeful that Ian Desmond can continue his maturation process and become a bona fide MLB shortstop. I'm hopeful that Drew Storen can make a successful leap from the minors to the majors next season to help ease the Nationals' bullpen woes. I'm hopeful that Stephen Strasburg makes it to the big leagues — sooner rather than later — and lives up to the hype surrounding him. I am looking forward to seeing what moves the Nationals make during the offseason, including who the manager will be. I know that whatever the Nats do, they're not going to go from worst to first in one season…but I am hopeful that there will be a significant improvement. I have to be hopeful…hope is what will keep me reasonably sane between now and next February.
Speaking of February…when do pitchers and catchers report??
That Strasburg Dude
I mentioned that the Nationals signed their #1 draft choice, Stephen Strasburg.
When the Nats formally introduced Strasburg to the media and fans, they invited fans to attend the press conference on the afternoon of August 21st. I took the afternoon off work so I could attend the press conference at Nationals Park. It was pretty cool!
Rain was in the weather forecast for the afternoon, but Mother Nature cooperated by keeping the rain away until the press conference had ended. We got quite a bit of rain between the end of the press conference and the start of that night's game vs. the Brewers…and on Stephen Strasburg day, there was a rainbow over Nationals Park!
See more photos from the press conference here.
Cleaning out the dust and the cobwebs
It's been a while…over two months, in fact…but I'm back. Real life intruded upon my online time — work issues and personal issues kept my online time limited to just my message board for the most part, but I'm hoping that everything is resolved now, and I'll be able to make regular contributions to this blog once again.
Let's see…what has happened since my last blog entry? Well, starting with the Yankees:
With a sweep of the Twins in early July, the Yankees tied the Red Sox for the lead in the AL East for one game, surrendering the lead the very next day with the first of three losses to the Angels. Less than two weeks later, a win over the Orioles pushed the Yankees into another tie for first in the AL East with the Red Sox. The Yankees have been in first place ever since, and despite losing their first eight games against Boston this season, they now hold a 9-game lead over the Red Sox. Since my last blog post, the Yankees have had winning streaks of 7 games three times and an 8 game winning streak, with no losing streaks longer than 3 games.
As for the Nationals:
Suckrahan Hanrahan and Lastings Milledge were traded to the Pirates for Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett, giving the Nationals the centerfielder they've needed all season. Manager Manny Acta got the boot just before the All-Star game and was replaced by bench coach Jim Riggleman. Shortly thereafter, the Nationals front office sent a "We admit that we suck, but we're trying not to suck quite so much" email to all season ticket holders and all fans who purchased Nationals tickets or merchandise online. The Nationals were 6-10 in July after Riggleman took over for Acta, and were 14-15 in August, including an 8-game winning streak in early August. The Nats traded Nick Johnson — the last remaining connection to the Montreal Expos — to the Marlins for minor league pitcher Aaron Thompson. Starting pitchers Scott Olsen, Jordan Zimmermann, Craig Stammen, and Collin Balester were lost for the season to injuries (shoulder surgery for Olsen, Tommy John surgery for Zimmernann, arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone spur int he elbow for Stammen, and an intercostal strain of his left
side for Balester). In need of an innings eater, and/or overtaken by nostalgia, the Nats signed pitcher (and former National) Livan Hernandez after he was released by the Mets. Oh, and the Nationals signed their number 1 draft choice — perhaps you've heard of him? — some guy named Stephen Strasburg.
Yep, that about covers it.
OK, it's official…the Washington Nationals used their #1 pick to select Stephen Strasburg.
Now that we've selected him, WE NEED TO SIGN HIM!!!
As for tonight's game against the Reds, the start was delayed about 2 hours because of rain. I've lost count of how many Nats games have been delayed because of rain so far this season! It was a close game, and Ross Detwiler had a decent start…but his walks cost him, as 2 of his 3 walks ended up scoring. The final score was Reds 3, Nationals 2. *sigh* Another loss. 😦
Strasburg Mania
2009 MLB First Year Player Draft is just hours away, and all indications are that the Nationals will select Stephen Strasburg, the right-hander from San Diego State, with their first pick.
Nationals fans are practically drooling over the prospect of this soon-to-be 21 year old (on July 20th) being signed. Many fans are hoping to see him called up to the majors in September, and nearly all Nats fans have already anointed Strasburg as the ace of the Nats staff for 2010.
I, however, am a little bit leary.
There's no doubt that Strasburg is incredibly talented. He has great stuff — he has thrown 100+ mph fastballs, for goodness sake! But signing Strasburg is going to require a lot of money…an estimated $50 million. There is no guarantee that he will live up to the hype surrounding him. And I'm concerned about the longevity of a pitcher who throws so hard. Will Strasburg be the Nationals superstar ace for years to come, or is he just a few pitches away from blowing out his shoulder or elbow?
If the Nationals are able to sign Strasburg — and I fully expect them to do so, if only because not signing him would be a PR blunder of epic proportions — then I hope he remains in the minors this season. I know that most fans want to see him called up in September, but I'd rather not see him rushed into the big leagues before he's ready. Maybe he will be ready in September, but I doubt it. Calling him up will certainly sell tickets towards the end of what is turning out to be an incredibly awful season, but I don't believe that's a good enough reason to rush this kid up to the majors before he's ready.
At any rate, the draft is nearly here, and it will certainly be an exciting day for both the Nationals and Strasburg.

February has arrived and it is time to move into the kitchen for The Household Organization Diet! Need to know how to clean and organize your kitchen? This is the plan for you!
EDIT: You can find the updated 2015 Household Organization Diet plan and free printables HERE.
I hope you all had a productive January with your 30 Day Household Detox. I was quite happy with what we were able to get rid of and am hoping to continue with a weekly "purge" throughout the year. You should also have spent some time organizing all of your cleaning supplies and thinking about a "bare minimum" daily cleaning schedule that you can stick to. Once you have done that, you are ready to start tackling the kitchen!
The kitchen is generally the main hub of the home and can be one of the worst places that we accumulate clutter. This month will be working on cleaning, organizing, and getting rid of all of that extra stuff that we don't really use or need. And, most importantly, we will be coming up with a plan to keep it that way! Here is my list of what I hope to accomplish this month…
You can download your own copy HERE. There is also a notes section on the bottom so you can personalize your own list. Make sure you check back at the end of the week too – I am working on a few more printables including a month at a glance calendar. I'll then be putting it all together in a cleaning binder so everything can stay accessible and organized!
Throughout the month I will be posting lots of kitchen organization and green cleaning ideas to help keep you inspired. I have also put together all of my kitchen cleaning and organizing posts from the archives to help get you started…
How to Clean your Garbage Disposal and Microwave
How to Safely Clean Your Oven
How to Clean Your Fridge and Freezer
How to Clean Your Dishwasher
How to Organize Your Pantry
How to Organize Under the Kitchen Sink
How to Organize Your Medicine Cabinet

WEDNESDAY, September 14, 2011 – Today, big dreams come true for the members of thrash-metal band Anthrax, as they return to their hometown of New York and step on the stage at Yankee Stadium. As the only one of The Big Four bands whose members are from New York, a number of the band have many childhood memories of attending Yankees games, making today's concert especially significant.
If that's not enough, The Big Four concert takes place the day following the release of Worship Music, Anthrax's first new album in eight years, already receiving some of the best reviews the band has ever had in its career.
And to make September 14, 2011 even more special, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. has given the band its very own day – today is "Anthrax Day" in the Bronx. President Diaz, Jr. made the official presentation at Yankee Stadium's Hard Rock Cafe, which was taped to be played back today at Yankee Stadium for the 50,000-strong crowd, just before Anthrax takes the stage, proclaiming:
"For over 30 years, Anthrax continues to 'Bring the Noise' through the 'Persistence of Time' in the Bronx, New York City and across the world; and
WHEREAS: Anthrax, a band with strong Bronx roots, is worshipped by their fans worldwide for giving them a 'Fistful of Metal,' both by touring and selling albums in the millions; and
WHEREAS: Today, I welcome Anthrax back home, as they 'Keep It in the Family' 'Among the Living' of the Bronx, while bringing a 'State of Euphoria' through the 'Sound of White Noise' to tens of thousands of people in Yankee Stadium;
NOW, THEREFORE, I Ruben Diaz Jr., President of the Borough of The Bronx, do hereby proclaim September 14, 2011
And urge my fellow citizens to take appropriate recognition of the occasion and get 'Caught in a Mosh.'"
Ruben Diaz Jr.

Friday, July 27, 2012
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly fit another thing into my recently crazy days, I got blindsided with one opening of my mailbox…
Lucky girl – you've been selected for Grand Jury Duty – a sentence of 4 weeks + 1 day. AND as an added bonus, you'll be stressed out and left with no summer or days off.
Needless to say the outcome of this letter has been this - I'm up late at night trying to play catch-up and my blog postings have trickled. I've figured out how to survive the days of waiting and confinement to an uninspiring space with hard chairs. Reading and listening to music helps, well when I'm not powering my phone up and down in between cases.
BUT this week my goal is to get back on track… Oh and buy another book or two maybe. Honestly when this grand juror badge expires, I'll feel like I've been let out of jail or detention, never mind that no crime was ever committed – not by me at least….

Milan 2013: (Extra-) Ordinary objects
Design seems to be taking a new direction. This new direction involves turning ordinary, daily and often forgotten objects into objects of desire again. So many material objects have vanished into the digital, intangible world that I am very pleased to see some of them returning to our daily-life reality. Among these (extra)ordinary and (un)usual products are buckets, jugs, coat racks and (office) lamps.

Alteration Accidents
I was just 12 years old when my oldest brother got married, and even I knew that his tuxedo pants were way too short. Seriously, he could've walked through a flood, and his hems would have emerged unscathed. My mother is extremely handy with a needle and thread, so she let out the hems mere minutes before he took his place at the end of the aisle. His pants were still a little on the short side, but at least you couldn't see his socks.
As any good event planner knows, it pays to stock an emergency kit for your wedding. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Simply fill a shoebox with a sewing kit, scissors, tape, safety pins, bobby pins, hair spray, deodorant, pain reliever and other important items, and make it available to everyone in your wedding party. Another tip? Make sure everyone in the wedding party -- including the groom -- tries on his or her attire before the big day to ensure a good fit!

The Ten: Notorious Drops
Catches may win matches but it's often the drops that linger the longest. Jeff Thomas takes a look at some of the more infamous buttery-fingered fails.
10) Flintoff Drops Flintoff
England v West Indies, Edgbaston 2004
Such was Freddie's supreme control during his career-best 167, he even found time to pick out his old man in the crowd with an almighty clump over mid wicket. Sadly for Flintoff Snr, a stalwart of Whittingham and Goosnargh 3rd XI, the chance was shelled and the family ribbing commenced: "I see my dad rise from his seat, big smile on his face, his nickname's 'Colin Big Hands', but in front of everyone he drops it. More embarrassing than that, trying to catch the rebound it spills out of his hands and into Michael Vaughan's mum's lap, so he's there, head buried between her legs. Not a good day for my dad that."
9) Mark Waugh's London Bus Syndrome
Australia v Pakistan, Colombo 2002
With 181 Test match catches to his name, Mark Waugh is rightly considered to be one of the greatest slip snafflers of all time. So an air of utter disbelief descended on Colombo in 2002 when Waugh dropped three sitters on the same day as Australia sought victory over Pakistan. The misses did not cost his team – Australia went on to win the match – but with reflexes waning it was a stark signal that time may had finally caught up with 'Junior' and the baggy green was worn only twice more before he called time on his illustrious Test career.
8) Graham Thorpe 'Drops The Ashes'
England v Australia, Headingley 1997
During the Nineties it was rare for an Ashes series to still be alive come the fourth Test, but at that stage in '97, England and the old enemy were surprisingly locked together at one apiece. Gloucester debutant Mike Smith was chucked the ball at a critical point with Australia rocking on 50-4 in reply to England's meagre 172. In his second over Smith found the edge of Matthew Elliott's blade to create the simplest of chances for Graham Thorpe at slip but somehow the Surrey man's margarine digits couldn't hold on. Elliott went on to make 199 and England lost by an innings. When Thorpe apologised to his skipper, Athers reportedly recycled Gubby Allen's line to Walter Robbins after the latter had dropped Bradman in 1936-37. "Don't worry Thorpey, you've only cost us the Ashes." Smith remained wicketless and was never picked again.
7) Ashley Giles Drops The Punt
Australia v England, Adelaide 2006
Duncan Fletcher's obsession with all things 'multi-dimensional' was no doubt central to Gilo getting the nod over everyone's favourite flaky left-armer, Monty P, at the start of the 2006/07 Ashes. So irony loomed large at deep square leg, where the 'King of Spain' let slip a relatively simple chance that would have seen Ricky Ponting depart for 35 and reduce the Aussies to 78-4 in reply to England's mammoth 551-6 declared. Ponting cashed in to the tune of 145 helping Australia pass 500 before the Aussies skittled England on the final morning to set up the most unlikely – and sickening – of victories. Turning points don't get much bigger.
6) Chris Scott's Most Expensive Drop in History
Warwickshire v Durham, Edgbaston 1994
"I suppose he'll get a hundred now," was the apparent reaction of Durham's journeyman keeper Chris Scott after putting down a straightforward catch to remove Brian Lara for just 18. With Lara going into the match having recorded six tons in seven first-class innings Scott's assumption was entirely understandable. Unfortunately for Scott and Durham, his prediction proved to be only a fifth accurate, Lara went on to plunder another 483 runs to record the highest ever first-class score, 501*.
5) Ian Healy And The Miracle of Bridgetown
West Indies v Australia, Bridgetown 1999
Five years later, Ian Healy's drop of Lara may not have cost 483 runs, in fact the great man added only another six, but it was a much more significant blunder. Few gave the Windies a hope at the start of day five, especially when 85-3 soon became 105-5 in search of 308. But Lara refused to conform to the script and adlibbed his way to a breathtaking century. But with seven runs needed and the West Indies eight down, Australia's get out of jail card appeared to have arrived when Lara guided one straight to the great Healy's left mitt. A young Healy would have gone with two hands and taken with ease, the leaden-footed version merely palmed to the floor. The ninth wicket fell soon after but crucially Lara was still at the crease to hit the winning runs and secure a great one-wicket victory. A chap named Gilchrist did most of the keeping thereafter.
While we're at it, the highlights of Lara's classic knock are well worth a watch:
4) Herschelle Gibbs "Drops The World Cup"
South Africa v Australia, Headingley, 1999
When Steve Waugh came to the crease in the final match of the Super Sixes (a contest the Aussies had to win to progress) his team were in more than a spot of bother on 48-3 in pursuit of South Africa's imposing 271. A Herschelle Gibbs ton provided the backbone of that innings and his day should have got even better when Waugh clipped the simplest of chances to him at mid wicket. Gibbs gleefully accepted the present only to let the ball squirm from his grip as he attempted to hurl the ball skywards in celebration. Steve Waugh later denied the famous quip which apparently followed, but the sentiment if not the words were entirely accurate – he went on to make 120 from 110 balls and Australia secured victory with two deliveries remaining and inevitably went on to lift the trophy.
3) Gatt Loses His Bearings
India v England, Chennai 1993
While Mike Gatting's insatiable appetite may be legendary, one thing he inexplicably failed to gobble up during England's disastrous 1992/93 tour of India was perhaps the most simple chance in the history of Test cricket. When Ian Salisbury ripped one from the Chennai rough into the glove of Kiran More, the ball could not possibly have taken a slower, more gentle trajectory toward the welcoming hands of Gatting at silly point. Astonishingly, with umpire RS Rathore's finger already raised, Gatting conspired to reject the gift and the cherry laid to rest in front of a giggling Graeme Hick at slip. They say seeing is believing yet no matter how many times you view it on YouTube, you simply won't.
2) Kiran More Drops The Daddy
England v India, Lord's 1990
Graham Gooch was on just 36 when Sanjeev Sharma nicked him off to provide the most regulation of caught behinds for Kiran More. "Oh… dear" was Richie Benaud's simple but prophetic reaction to the Teflon-gloved spillage. Gooch went on to complete 333. More reflects: "I clearly remember it was a straightforward catch, except in England the ball wobbles a bit in the air after it passes the bat and that's a test for a keeper. I failed the test on that occasion."
1) Shane Warne Grasses 'The Ego'
England v Australia, The Oval 2005
Having single-handedly kept Australia in the 2005 series with his 40 wickets at 19.92 and 249 runs at 27.66, it was cruel of the London crowd to tuck into Shane Warne with quite such relish. That said, chants of "Warnie's dropped the Ashes", weren't too far off the money. England were wobbling, three down with a lead of just 95 when a pumped up Brett Lee found Kevin Pietersen's outside edge. Warne hadn't dropped a thing all summer but on this day of days the simple chance was spurned. KP took full advantage, hitting Warne for a pair of sixes in the very next over en route to a maiden Test century that would set off a national knees-up taking in booze, buses and Downing Street shrub action.
And why not treat yourself to a few highlights from the knock that ensued?

It took until midway through the first tune for me to realize they were playing "All of You". After all, the 11PM set on Wednesday night at the Village Vanguard started with a drum solo followed by dialogues between bass/drums, bass/piano. The tune unfolded slowly revealing itself as fragments of melodies were thrown back and forth, slowly and carefully developed by the three of them. Geri Allen, Esperanza Spalding and Terri Lyne Carrington are at the top of their game – virtuosic, musical and creative. "No offense to you", Spalding said with a conspiratorial grin to the audience, "we're just excited to be playing together". And playing together is exactly what they did. Solos, dialogues, trios, textural variations, rhythmic displacements and curve balls made each composition into a journey of discovery. It was gorgeous chamber music with all three supporting, listening, reacting, and surprising each other. They even shared the microphone duties introducing tunes and each other. We were eavesdropping on an exciting creative project and mutual admiration witnessing them "fly by the seat of our pants", as Carrington said later in the evening.
A couple of highlights:
Spalding sang one tune the entire set – the beautiful "Unconditional Love" written by Geri Allen, featured on Terri Lyne's Grammy nominated (Feb 2012) The Mozaic Project CD (which features Allen, Spalding and many other fantastic female musicians.) Here is the excerpt from the CD:
The show closer, Charlie Parker's "Au Leu Cha" at breakneck speed began with a fast descending line played by bass and piano. Allen managed to keep this upbeat ostinato going as she navigated through the melody creating some crazy ear-bending counterpoint. It was breathtaking.
Here they are at the Red Sea Jazz Festival in 2007:

You Will Know Me follows Devon, an ultra competitive high school gymnast and her family. As a toddler, Devon had a toe traumatically severed by a lawn mower, and used gymnastics to recuperate. Even then she was described as a natural, a protege. Her parents can't help but sacrifice everything to her talent: they take out a second mortgage on the home, they all but neglect Devon's younger brother. Every spare minute is dedicated to practicing, and soon talks of the Olympics arise. In the midst of this cutthroat atmosphere, the boyfriend of one of the coaches is murdered.
Cabot weaves a dark and complex world of gymnastics worship, with Devon as its idol.
I meant to dip my toe in the world of competitive gymnastics, but Meg Cabot pushed me into the deep end–in a few pages, I was totally immersed.
I didn't want to like this book; I am totally burnt out of murder stories. I'm tired of everything being "the next Gone Girl", or "the next big thriller". Often, I am left wanting. I'm not thrilled by thrillers, not intrigued by mysteries. I'm bored by all of it.
You Will Know Me was different enough to hold my interest. The death of the boyfriend was an undercurrent; the over-the-top parenting drove the true plot. Devon was a weird (in a good way), dark, troubled high schooler. I loved how fleshed-out each character was. Overall, this was a fast-paced summer mystery/thriller that I fully enjoyed.

La Jolla, CA – When primitive nerve cells begin forming an eye in the mouse embryo, they are programmed to build a retina. But the ability to see depends upon connecting the retina to the brain via the optic nerve. Unless these embryonic cells are given the right cue at the right time, they mistakenly form a huge eye that consists entirely of retina and lacks the optic nerve.
The discovery that the retina is the 'default' setting for development in the embryonic eye comes from research by neurobiologist Greg Lemke and his colleagues at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, published in the current issue of Genes & Development. The scientists carried out their work on the laboratory mouse as a model of human biology.
"Our results suggest that the retina is effectively the default pathway for eye development in mammals," said Lemke. The Salk team showed that two chemical cues, or signalling proteins, must be present in the right place at the right time to shut down this default pathway and allow the optic nerve to develop.
The painstaking work of the Salk team has important consequences since controlling the fate of stem cells implanted into the brain is crucial if these cells are to be safely and effectively used in human therapy.
"This study gives us a fascinating insight into how the parts of the brain are laid out because it is likely that the same model applies throughout the nervous system," said Lemke. "There are likely to be other brain areas whose development relies on blocking a tendency to turn into the same cell types as their neighbor."
Lemke and co-authors Stina H. Mui, Jin Woo Kim and Stefano Bertuzzi studied eye development in genetically engineered mouse embryos that lacked the two signalling proteins Vax1 and Vax2. The mice developed normally until approximately 10 days after conception, at which point they started to develop one large, folded sheet of retina, instead of a retina and an optic nerve.
"We were fascinated by our results because they were so dramatic," said Lemke. "The layers of the retina were perfectly formed but the retina reached all the way to the brain and there was no optic nerve. In effect, without the restraining influence of Vax1 and Vax2 the brain had created one gigantic eye."
The Salk team then spent the next two years uncovering the mechanisms involved. "It's fairly easy to describe the effect but it's much tougher to explain what's going on," said Mui.
Using complex gene expression techniques, the researchers painstakingly discovered that the fate of the eye is determined over the space of just a couple of days by a complex yet remarkably efficient system. The stem cells in the embryo destined to become the eye start out as identical. In response to external chemical messages, a gene called Pax6 is activated and becomes a powerful switch that tells these 'eye' cells to start developing into the retina. If nothing happens to stop this process, all the 'eye' cells will continue along this developmental path until one, huge retina is formed. However, this is normally prevented when the 'eye' cells closest to the centre of the brain start to produce Vax1 and Vax2, which act as chemical brakes on Pax6. As a result, these cells turn into the optic nerve instead.
"Normally Pax6 is turned off in the ventral optic stalk to allow the optic nerve to develop," said Kim. "It's an incredibly efficient way to control development because you don't need a completely new pathway for a new structure."
"Pax 6 is a powerful and ancient gene for eye determination," notes Lemke. "It plays this role from fruit flies to humans. As a consequence, its expression must be highly regulated during development." Although the retina is obviously required for sight, Lemke points out that "it's possible to have too much of a good thing."
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to fundamental discoveries in the life sciences, the improvement of human health and the training of future generations of researchers. Jonas Salk, M.D., whose polio vaccine all but eradicated the crippling disease poliomyelitis in 1955, opened the Institute in 1965 with a gift of land from the City of San Diego and the financial support of the March of Dimes.

Motorola Mobility Shares Xoom Lower, Jefferies Cuts Price Target
Following Apple's release of the very competitively priced Apple iPad 2, the sledding for Motorola Mobility, maker of the competing Xoom tablet, just keeps getting tougher.
MMI stock is down 3% today to 24.46 and down 33% since hitting a high of 36.34 on Jan. 11.
Jefferies this morning has a report that underscores the problems facing MMI and Xoom. "Xoom sales have been underwhelming," Jefferies asserts. "While marketing has just started, we believe MMI will likely have to cut production if it already has not done so."
The investment bank adds that MMI may need to "accept little to no margin initially in order to match iPad 2's wholesale pricing." Jefferies, which rates MMI a hold, reduced its price target to 28 from 33.
Perhaps even more worrisome is the weak sales for MMI's Atrix phone. "Surprisingly, [RIMM's] BlackBerry Torch continues to outsell the Atrix," Jefferies says.
The bank also fears that the promiscuity of Google's Android operating system could lead to long-term commoditization of Android-related mobile products, such as Xoom and Atrix.
Yesterday, market research firm reported that Apple held a 73% share of the global tablet market in the fourth quarter, followed by Samsung's Galaxy Tab, which had about 17% share. Xoom's release came in the first quarter, so it is not present in the fourth-quarter numbers.
RIMM is expected to introduce its PlayBook tablet soon and Hewlett-Packard's TouchPad is expected this summer.

During an appearance on Trinity Broadcasting Network program "Praise The Lord" last week, Barton claimed that America would suffer devastating weather disasters if we ever stopped siding with Israel over the Palestinians.
"The way that you treat the Jews shows the degree of civilization that you have," Barton began.
Anytime you go after the Jews, God comes after you. And by the way, the deal that we're fighting right now with Israel, they need to give up land or this, we're told in Acts God said 'I am the one who establishes boundaries for nations. God told us exactly what the boundaries of Israel are to be and whenever a politician gets involved and says we need to draw the lines this way or that way, they better get permission from God. He's the one who drew the lines. You start messing with that, you're messing directly with God…
If you side Israel, God can bless that. If you don't side Israel, God's going to have trouble with that. And how does he express that? Well, one of the things he often did in the Bible was weather phenomenon. Other things that he did was productivity would go down, agricultural crisis or droughts…and suddenly you're not as prosperous as you were.
Here's the video via Right Wing Watch.
Not only is Barton ignoring the deplorable violence Israel is inflicting upon Palestinians, his claims about God's wrath and the borders of Israel are wrong.
It isn't God who is going to be responsible for unleashing weather disasters upon this country. We did that all by ourselves by ignoring our role in climate change. As a result, hurricanes are getting stronger, droughts are getting longer and more intense, and sea rise is threatening to flood our coastal regions. Weather disasters are nothing new anyway. Any idiot can make such a prediction. It's like saying it will rain in America sometime in the future. That person will be 100 percent correct every time simply because of how broad and vague the prediction is. It's not really even a prediction at all. Now all that person has to do is say that God will make it rain in America in the future for something we do or don't do. Now it's a religious prediction based on the fact that weather happens. Bad weather will happen anyway whether we please Barton's God or not.
Barton, the same man who thinks women shouldn't have the right to vote, is also wrong about God establishing the borders of Israel. There are several different variations of border descriptions in the Bible. One would think that Almighty God would be able to pick one and stick with it. But even those variations don't match up with the boundaries of Israel as we know it today. As it turns out, the borders of Israel were drawn up by the British in an effort to transport oil out of the Middle East, and were used by the United Nations to create the state of Israel after World War II. The Israel we know today is a 20th Century invention. Even those boundaries didn't last long as Israelis seized more territory in 1967. God didn't do that. The Israelis did it themselves for the sake of a land grab at the expense of the Palestinian people, who also have ancient claims to the Holy Land.
Barton's pro-Israel rant ignores the violence inflicted upon innocent Palestinian children by Israelis. If I'm not mistaken, aren't all children innocent and loved in the eyes of Jesus and God? If making God angry will result in severe punishment, shouldn't Israel be fearful of the disaster that God is about to rain down upon them for spilling the blood of children? The power of right-wing factions in Israel and the United States must come to an end. The extremist thirst for war and expansion have turned both nations into killers of innocents in the name of religious fervor. It's time for change and peace. And if we want that to happen, we need to get religion out of politics, exile conservative extremists back to the ignored fringe where they belong, and treat all people with respect, compassion, and fairness.

In RaeLynn's new Chris Hicky-directed video for The Voice singer's new single "Lonely Call," she helps a friend through a breakup while encouraging her to dodge her ex's calls.
"What I loved about this treatment was that it was so relatable," RaeLynn told Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview. "I also loved getting to play the empowering best friend because it's an important relationship in every girl's life."
The song was inspired by a brief breakup between RaeLynn and her now-husband, Josh Davis.
"We dated for eight months and broke up … the song is verbatim how I felt," RaeLynn told ET. "I remember him calling me one night and he wasn't being mean or anything like that — when you're together and you're so in love, you want to call the person even if you're not together. I was like, 'I'm not your lonely call! I'm a Texas girl! I'm gonna be this and this and this.' I wrote the song and everytime [Josh] hears it he just laughs. He goes, 'I always regretted breaking up with you, but listen, you wouldn't have gotten any of these songs if I didn't do it.' I was like, 'Whatever!'"
"It's really funny to go back and sing it," she added. "I'm like, 'Man! I was so angry.'"
Supporting roles in the video are played by RaeLynn's real-life friends, including sister-in-law Heather Davis, The Goldbergs star (and X Factor USA alum) Hayley Orrantia and Nashville newcomer Lindsay James "LJ" Hague.
"Lonely Call" is the second single off of Raelynn's latest album, Wildhorse, after "Love Triangle." Her The Voice mentor, Blake Shelton, is a big fan of the song. "I played him this song a long time ago, when I was like, 19," Raelynn said. "He's always fought for this song. So when he found out that it was going on the record, he was like, 'This needs to be your next single. I don't know why you're thinking of any other song.' That's when we were like, 'This is definitely the right thing.'"

Our 4 Mile Training Program is brought to you by Fleet Feet Sports, Sacramento. We invite you to get ready to race using our training schedule.
Training Schedule
This six week schedule is designed for a beginner runner interested in comfortably completing the 4 mile event at the Valentine Run. We define a beginner runner as one who cannot run for 20 consecutive minutes at a steady, comfortable pace.
The training schedule is a very gradual buildup designed to get you to the finish line injury free. The first half of the schedule is based on workout time and combines running and brisk walking. It's very important that you don't do too much too soon. We switch to miles in the fourth week.
Please keep the following in mind the following when embarking on this program. It's always smart to consult a physician prior to starting any new exercise program. Invest in a quality pair of running shoes if you don't already have a good pair. Be patient – fitness gains will not come overnight. You should walk/run at a pace that allows you to talk comfortably, but fast enough to gain fitness.
Keep it fun – encourage a friend to train with you. Run/Walk in different places or at different times of the day. The Sacramento area offers some incredible places to run/walk. If you haven't already, check out the 31 mile American River Parkway (parts of it that is) that extends from Discovery Park near downtown to Beal's Point in Folsom. Or, head to McKinley Park, voted Sacramento's favorite running park by Sacramento News & Review.
When training on a treadmill, set the elevation to 1% to equate to outdoor running.
Listen to your body. Your own intuition is your best coach. Take an extra day off if you're feeling tired or rundown. However, don't confuse tiredness with laziness. Stay consistent. Remember, walking out the door is sometimes the hardest part of the workout.
We hope you find these hints and the schedule helpful in training for and participating in the Valentine Run.
