Advice for a new runner training for a 1/2 marathon in august?

Long time runner and marathoner here... An August half marathon is doable, but your health is priority. I would research more what could be causing your knee pain and possibly talk to a Dr. or running specialist/therapist if you are struggling to find answers or if the pain gets worse...

Compact stereo system with optical input?

I'm trying to create a decent quality but fairly portable system for easily moving between various rooms in the house and the detached garage in which I will use a Linksys wireless music bridge to stream audio to the portable system, thus the need for a digital optical input. Using the...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

Thanks guys for the tips. Just learning about the F6 quicksave has made the game a lot friendlier. Why I didn't try this before I don't know. That'll teach me for actually reading the instructions. And now I'm not dying as much thanks to the person that mentioned how terrible the zoom mode...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

Maglite finally going LED

I bought a 3xAAA superbright LED flashlight at Target for $28, and it is amazing! I actually threw away an old 2xAA maglite after seeing the difference. Definitely worth $28 as I use it to run at night (there are way too many drivers that can't see at night, even when I'm wearing reflective...

8 miles in one hour

I mentioned it once. RaDragon mentioned it too. And since I feel it's such an important issue for anyone out of school wanting to run distance, whether to get in shape or achieve a certain goal like 5k, 10k half or full marathon, I'll say it again: Join a running club. Not only will you...

8 miles in one hour

To the OP (Ilmater): 8 miles in 1hr by April 29? Hmmm. You are a big dude. No, you are a HUGE dude which could pose a setback in your goal. What's your age? If you hadn't attempted distance running once before, I'd be inclined to suggest you find another bet to take. But your 7miles at...

breast reduction... does anyone here know anyone that has had this procedure?

A girl who grew up across the street from me had a reduction when she was ~22yr old. I heard from a mutual friend that she was very pleased with the results as it eliminated her constant back problems and made her look much thinner. However, I was a bit perplexed when I was told that the...

Swastikas Burned Into Jewish Family's Yard

~4yrs ago in my upper-mid class Houston neighborhood, a couple of extremely stupid white young adults in their mid or early 20s but still living with their parents decided it would be funny to burn a cross in a black family's front yard. The short story is they both went to prison (not jail)...

What's the fastest mile you've ever run?

I just PR'd in the mile last Sunday. 5:17 I'll be 31 in a few weeks (5'11 120lbs). Most of you are posting PRs from your high school days. I didn't run in hs but I figure my mile times would've been around 9min. other PRs (within last 2yrs) 5k = 17:58 10mi = 1:10:09 marathon =...

Quick question for A64 754pin retail owners

The retail A64 754pin heat sink ships with a thermal pad attached to it, but do you remember if you had to peel away a piece of paper protecting the thermal pad before you attached the heat sink to the cpu/mobo? Last night I installed a retail 3700+ into a DFI LanPary nF3 250Gb mobo while I...

**OFFICIAL HALF LIFE 2 THREAD** - KEEP ALL THE HALF LIFE CHATTER IN HERE GUYS!!

I just purchased the Bronze edition via Steam. I was debating whether to buy it retail or buy it through Steam, and after reading that game companies only get around 7 bucks a game sold at retail while they get around $30 when the middleman is cut out, it was a no-brainer. We all know this...

59 yr old great-grandmother to have twins

If you read the article, it clearly indicates that the twins were unexpected, especially knowing that the 59yr old had her tubes tied!!!!! You can't look at it from a mother being selfish point of view. Obviously life has thrown her a curve ball, and I hope she and her family make the most...
