I did my first 10+ miler Saturday since I hurt my hip last fall. No pain! Then I did a 9 miler and attacked some hills yesterday. I finally feel like I am back. Now just to keep from overdoing it...
I predict you get under 26 easily. It is hard to tell w/o knowing just how ahrd you pushed that 3 miler. Race day pace is always so much better than training pace. I tend to shave 1:00 - 1:30 minutes...
This is THE perfect description and is why this thread MUST exist and be maintained. It is all about tradoffs. When I first started lifting more seriously I was a (4) and it greatly improved my...
I LOVE my Specialized Transition. It is the embodiment of everything I love about riding: A perfectly tuned machine, smooth and efficient, letting the bike and I work as one as a speeding flash of...
That is the perfect approach. What works for someone else will not be the best thing for you. What works for you today, will not work for you 6 months from now.

I am using PrimaForce BCAA http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/prima/bcaa.html
Nasty stuff - does not mix with water at all. I have a whey shake before and after my run and add it to that. I have...
I am pretty indifferent to treadmill or outside. I get very introspective when I run so I don't have any boredom issues. I slipped on the ice once 10 years ago or so and screwed up my IT band. I was...
Hey all, I have been away for a while. My running suffered a little since I overdid it for a few days last year. Irritated my hip on the bike, squat day the next day made it worse, then a hard 8 mile...
Wow ... I just started taking BCAAs a few weeks ago and I am just taking one scoop. I suppose I'll never know whether I am taking enough or not ... maybe I'll bump mine up a little too.
I for one don't think you are weird, you are just not as affectionately repressed as most Americans are. My wife and I kiss our opposite sex friends, to us it is not weird, it is an appropriate way...
