i am so confused Joe. Aren't you racing this weekend? Is this what you do in the taper--a 23 mile run 5 days out? Is that what you do for an ironman? That is just cawazy!

Dude, that is contagious as all get out. It will remain on toys, door knobs etc for days and days. We had pink eye between the girls for 6 weeks one time until we lysol'd the entire house. I kid you not. We washed every toy we could, wiped them ALL down with clorox wipes, spayed couches, steam cleaned the carpet. Spent a day doing this. Then we kept the girls seperated and cleaned everything they touched. After that, it went away. So be wary.

I was about to mention reservatrol but saw that Peter beat me to it. Even if you are avoiding alcohol, you can obtain resveratrol from other sources, such as muscadine grapes (currently available at Kroger and Dekalb farmers market), pomegranate, blueberries, peanuts, and also in supplement form. Fresh beets are a great source of antioxidants. Sardines in olive oil are a great source of protein, iron and omega fatty acids while being free of the harmful contamination found in some of the larger variety of fish. From my reading of the health benefits of wine, timing intake in conjunction with meals, especially meals containing red meats, appears to increase the beneficial affects, apparently by interacting with the meat during digestion. I'm driving up to Louisville to cheer on Danielle, Keith, Bob and Sue. I did not realize you were doing that one, but I'll be cheering for you as well, Joe!

Hmmm...Aside from caloric intake there is another thought about the key to longevity called resveratrol. It's found in my favorite beverage, red wine. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15511128/

Not sure what that means: "Ad astra, per astra". It's not American English, nor Simplified British English for American speakers. So why don't you reserve your latin-colloquisms until you actually have a clue about Latin? P.S.: On a different subject: You ever visited Patak (patakmeats.com) since moving to van-ning country?

Blah, I did 122 miles and had two front tire flats so quit yerr crying. I was the big guy in the Green/black APB kit... The biggest guy out there (6'4/270). I did work for the front then took it down a notch after the first flat. I stopped at Rutlege to recap the water bottles then headed out and delt with those hard labor hills only to turn around after the golf course so I could deal with 'other' flat at the rest stop. My max speed was 55 and my avg HR was 171... 184 was my max. Fun times till the cramps set in around 100 (80 for the rest of the folks). Hope you were able to get some of my draft, -Scott

Tim O'Reilly coined the term "Web 2.0" in 2004. In 2006, Web founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee sagely observed that "nobody knows what it means": http://tinyurl.com/y6ewzy In 2007, Michael Wesch put together this video that supposedly "explains what Web 2.0 really is about": http://tinyurl.com/6pdz2q It is a cool video. But the message is all about XML and how it can be used to separate form and content. There was no mention of CSS and XHTML, but no matter. I was writing XML parsers in the '90s, and XHTML/CSS web design pre-dates "Web 2.0" as well. No cigar, Professor Wesch. And now in 2008, the most honest thing we can say is that "Web 2.0" means whatever the techno-marketeer (ab)using it wants it to mean. Otherwise, why would intelligent people like Isaac O'Bannon still be writing articles asking "What is Web 2.0?": http://tinyurl.com/5solok And, why would McKinsey's just-released best-of-breed report entitled "Building the Web 2.0 Enterprise" ... http://tinyurl.com/6sxls7 ... include no attempt at defining the term other than to list the "Web 2.0 Tools" that comprise or enable it? And even there, the chief ingredient is identified only as "Web Services", adding more mystery to the mix as one ethereal term is offered up to explain another. As originated in an Onstartups.com website design posting... http://tinyurl.com/576sgs ... "Web 2.0" is like pornography: Nobody has defined it, but you know it when you see it.

Small garbage bins are perfect for ice baths. They come up to your upper thighs (or my shorter thighs) they use less water = colder and transportable which helps as recovery can be done at training venue using someone else's water or out the backyard in the heat..

I am addicted to ice baths. In fact, I keep my overpriced NYC gym membership JUST because they have a cold dip they keep at 57 degrees in the pool area- but I think even cold water from the faucet if you have no ice makes a difference.

I was molassaes too. It was 94 when I ran. Had kids with me and worried about them in the heat so I only ran 4 miles. And I only swam 35 minutes. I suppose comparitively this okay since I am only doing a half ironman and it isn't until the end of Sept. This week is going to be hot and running is going to suck boo-tay. So I am forseeing lots of pool time for Nat.

the problem people are faced with today is that fact that this stuff has been happening for as long as I've watched this type of sport. Whether it's cycling or track and field which I have followed for as long as I can remember. Sadly that most unbelievable performances in my mind have this fog over them. As for Lance, well he'd have a pretty hard time beating the system 7 times in a row, and especially since so many hated him over there. In my mind,here's how you tell. Look at the performance, then see how often this person can continue at that level. Most users either retire or start getting hurt before finally declining. They said Carl Lewis used, but he stayed around for over ten years and was rarely hurt. Plus he lost enough times that it as not that strange. Ben Johnson went from 10.34 to 9.87 in 4 years, then he started getting hurt. Flo Jo stopped after settiing her marks, then later passed away. Some of the East German women of the 70's stayed around for a while, but many only lasted 1 olympics. It's like running 103 octaine in your car. It will give it more power, but eventually it will wear out your engine. Sad to see it, but that's the way of all sports now. Win at all cost.

Great pictures...aren't kids hilarious?! Why buy them any toys when they are happy with bags or boxes? My oldest used to take all of his toys out of the toybox, throw them on the floor, and then get in the box and just play. I should have just given him an empty toybox!

hey guys! I watched the movie thirteen with a friend and liked it a lot. we live in a mostly quite town, and dont have that many problems win drugs and stuff like that, but tract reminds me of one of the girls in my school. this girl does a lot of drugs...she's had 5 or 6 drug offenses and shes only 13. this movie shows that drugs are more serious than people think. also, if you want to find out the names of the song from the movie you can go to LETSSINGIT.COM and change the drop down menu from artist to lyrics, then type the lyrics in and it will come up with a list of possible songs :)

The great thing about running on the Silver Comet is that there are water stops at miles 0, 2.5, 4.2 and 11.5. Along with parking spots at all of those locations I can always create some combination of distances that works for me and gives me enough water. But sometimes I run alone on some other routes. When I do that I use a water belt... I've got an Amphipod that I like a lot but I've also used the other offerings from Camelbak, etc.
