The Human Condition, as taken from ChuckieV

The Human Condition
Sorry ladies, good health is a lifelong journey, not a lap of the track. Walk on.
First, however, a disclaimer: perhaps it's not so politically correct of me to post this, but I can't always help myself. Nor do I care for politics.The human body---yours---is the single most amazing instrument you will ever own. You will own it from the day you are born right up until the moment you die; it's the only "thing" you will own throughout that entire span. Don't be ashamed of your body, no matter what condition it's in. Learn to cherish it and befriend it, or the date of your demise may come sooner than you realize. Change your ways before it's too late, and though it may already be too late to ever be fully healthy, it's never too late to try.Diabetes Type II is preventable. Heart disease is preventable. Obesity is preventable. Cancer (to a lesser extent) is preventable. Bad health is preventable. Death is, um, delay-able.Walk on ladies, walk on. But do me a favor: don't despise Angela because she cares about herself more than you do. Your mumbles are as loud as each of your foot-strikes.

Save the Seals!!!!


Watch our video to see what Canada's sealers are desperate to hide.Then, please help our campaign.If you received this email twice today, we sincerely apologize!Trouble with links or images? Want to share this email? Use this link:https://community.hsus.org/ct/Hpw2qks1aXYd/

We'll be here until the seal hunt is stopped -- with your help.


Warning! Very graphic images.
We're not going anywhereuntil the seal hunt ends.But we need your help.
Dear Ms. Courtney, Just before dawn this morning, the annual hunt for baby seals began in Canada.Over the next few weeks, 275,000 harp seals will be brutally clubbed or shot for their fur. Incredibly, though, many people believe that Canada ended this hunt in the 1980s. But it's still happening, right now. That's why the sealers don't want us here -- with our cameras rolling.For four years, The Humane Society of the United States' ProtectSeals team has stood its ground as Canada's extraordinary harp seal nurseries are transformed each spring into bloody killing fields. The sealers have rammed our cars, smashed our boats, and brandished the very same clubs that they use to kill baby seals -- all in a vain attempt to intimidate us.

Then yesterday, Canada’s government took an unprecedented step: It refused to issue hunt observation permits to our team -- and to journalists -- in time for us to document the slaughter this morning. This means that sealers, if they have reached the seals by now, are killing baby seals without witnesses. Which is exactly what they want.Watch our video to see what we're up against. It's hard to watch (and you can skip it if you prefer). But it shows why we'll remain here, steadfast, until Canada ends this barbaric hunt for good. Exposing the hunt is the surest way I know to stop it forever.As another year's slaughter begins, watch our video now -- and then please make a donation to sustain our team on the ice and end this hunt once and for all. The seal hunters don't want us here, but with your support, we'll continue the fight until the cruel hunt ends.
Sincerely,
Rebecca AldworthDirector of Canadian Wildlife IssuesThe Humane Society of the United States

Ahh, what a difference a little massage makes!
Well, I didn't have to hire the 300lb Swedish woman named Helga, but I did find someone who did just as well.
I tried out Kent B. at http://www.tkmuscletherapy.com/ and was quite impressed- Dawn and Michele both use him, and I like him as well.
Now, if I could just have one of those, oh say, once a week or better, I might be a little less cranky. Try as he may, even Eric with his nimble fingers couldn't work some of those kinks out.
I'll be visiting Kent's office again just before WildFlower, maybe he'll make me go fast, too!

I was really trying to count my turnover... usually around 84 or 86.
Hard to make that 90! My calves are def gonna be sore. It is such a different form of running.



Last night after my run I sat on the floor with bags of frozen vegtables on my joints. My knees are kind of sore today, as are my calves, which I'm not surprised about. Also, some muscles in my back are sore too, but it doesn't HURT like it has been. I tried to you the "Pose" method as much as I could- and I would say that since I was really focused on my running the whole time, and wasn't daydreaming, a good 85% was with the new technique.

Oh, and there's something I have to own up to....
I ran with a Camelpak last night... and LIKED it. Before I left for my run I opened up every drawer possible to find my fuelbelts--- I could hunt down the bottles, even most of the lids, but no belt anywhere! So I decided, eff it, I'm using the Camelpak, which also allowed me to bring my cell phone tucked neatly away (you know, that massive green turtle in a half shell that I call my SideKick II).
I probably won't use this exclusively, but it served it's purpose and never aggrivated my back nor felt jostly. I liked it! I liked it a lot!

Everytime I pull up my bank account online I get anxious. Seriously, I know there's money there, but it just really really sucks having to pay for stuff. No, really.

How NOT to Get Sponsored, and A Way to Fix It.
Hi all. If you remember back in November I did a clinic for a local tri club on how to find sponsors. Well I was browsing some company websites here on sponsorhouse, and I came across a few doozies. These aren't applications for sponsorships, but are actually comments and posts left on companies' pages.
One young man stuck out to me. I checked out his profile and it looks like he really wants to make a name for himself in athletics. However, his comment to the potential sponsor wasn't so hot. I would like to preface this, however, by saying he isn't even in High School yet. So, while it wasn't the best, he is learning the skills to approach potential sponsors by internet cold calling, something I probably wouldn't do when I was his age. Okay, who am I kidding, of course I would have.
Below is what I left on his page. Before some of you readers scoff, please note, I've seen some messages you leave on potential sponsor's pages, and they are no better, and most of you are twice (or more) of my new friend Dustin's age.
Also, if anybody has a question on how to approach a sponsor, I'd be more than happy to field it.
Hey Dustin, I see you're kind of new to sponsorhouse.com. That's great that you're taking some steps to find a way to promote yourself and your athletic achievements.
I would like to take a moment to show you a better way to search for sponsors. I saw that you made a comment post on a company site. I don't think it came across the way you wanted it to. Remember, applying or requesting sponsors is just like looking for a job! Ask your parents or even a teacher to help out, I'm sure they would have great suggestions.
Remember to be humble, but very honest and direct. Write just like you are turning in an assignment to a teacher, always use spell check and have proper grammar. Best wishes in all of your athletic endeavors. Message me if you have any questions!-Courtney

I TRAVEL A LOT AND IM ALSO AN AWESOME SNOWBOARDER. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ONE OF YOUR SPONSORED ATHLETES. CHECK OUT MY PROFILE AND IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE THEN CLICK THE SPONSOR ME BUTTON. THANKS
-A litte more appropriate-Hi! I'm Dustin from H***, Ca. and I love to play hockey! Over the course of my playing career I have played in many tournaments and even won some titles. My biggest Hockey Championship win is at NARCH in Florida a couple years ago. I do a lot of traveling and am also a very good snowboarder. I would really like to be a sponsored athlete and help promote your company. Do you have a way for me to contact you so I can explain how sponsoring me will bennefit your company?Please check out my profile! I'd love to hear from you.Sincerly, Dustin

5 for 5 and Going Strong
Well, in the last 4 days I have made all 5 of my workouts. I won't lie, some of them I didn't make for the whole time, but I'm doing them, which is a huge step up.
Tonights workout: Weights! Plyometrics! Whoohoo. It hurts but it feels so good.
I only have 6 workouts left this week so hopefully I'll make them all!
Tomorrow I'm meeting Coach Lady to video me running. Ugh. It's u-g-l-y and I really don't have an alliby on why it's so bad. All I can do is train-- but this should really be helpful. I know I need a lot a LOT of work, so I'm looking forward to taking away something from our training session.
Also, after all the stress I have going on, along with the muscular stress from training, I broke down and called a massage therapist. Throughly Kneaded. It's by my work and MotoMichele and DaringDawn both use them. Not to mention pro athletes Kelly B (cycling) and Ben Schloegel (tri) So, I hear it's the best. And since I'm the best, I need the best (wink wink).
The guy that runs the place is a triathlete and Ironman, so he'll be able to identify what I really need done- probably better than I can.
My first appointment is next week- over my lunch break. I'm not going to want to come back! :) Then I scheduled for the week before Wildflower. I'll have to do my own tune ups in between unless they decide to sponsor me and pick up the tab. Hint Hint nudge nudge. :-)
I do have to admit, Eric did do a pretty darn good job the other night, but I think he fell asleep while rubbing my back so I'm not sure if that counts. A for effort I suppose. Isn't he the best fiance ever!?

Ain't That the Truth!
This summer I am budgeting to spend $320 a month on gas, driving to and from work only. 300 miles a week, 15 gallons a tank at (jebus christ) $4/gal. getting 20mph (if the highway traffic is moving) = $80 a tank. x 4 = $320.That's almost $4000 a year in fuel. That's a sh*t ton. That's my $.02. Or, in this case my $3840.

A Bunch of Updates! Yes, I'm still alive! :)
Hey all you in blog land!
I have a LOT going on right now, so I'm going to try to give you a pretty brief synopsis of things that are happening with me:::
-My best friend and maid of honor is doing a triathlon! She and her roomates are signed up for a relay race, and then she is planning to do a sprint on her own. I'm really proud of her because this is TOTALLY out of her element. She even did treadmill intervals with me last night at the gym--- and held her peak interval longer than I could hold mine. Yeah, she's a badass.
-Sadly, things aren't going so well for my grandpa. I mentioned about a year ago that his cancer had returned. It's now progressed into end-stage and things are getting kind of hairy. My family and I would really appreciate any good vibes, thoughts, and prayers- if you're so inclined, sent our way.
-WildFlower is 46 days away. I just finished up with an email from my big sponsor this year-- FLUID RECOVERY-- I'm excited to go out there and represent for them. Eric's sports agency (wait, did I ever mention that Eric started an Action Sports Mangement company? It's called 2A MANAGEMENT) has even joined forces with Fluid and you can look for big things from them in the motocross world coming soon.
-Speaking of FLUID... Fluid was named BEST OVERALL NUTRITION PRODUCT at TriFest this year. Check out the full scoop at the TriFest website or here If you're wanting to try some of that tastey stuff, please email me at triswimcoach@yahoo.com -- I'm going to pickup up the rep work for the midwest region. So if you dig it and are interested in placing an order, let me know.
-I'm gonna be a movie star. Ok, not quite, but a guy I went to highschool with has started a production company. From the sounds of things, they are really wanting to promote athletes looking for a hand up. They are doing something similar to a video montage of an athlete in their respective sport (swimming, triathlon, soccer, football, motocross) and packaging it so the athlete can market their abilities and skills to potential sponsors, teams, coaches, universities, scouts, etc... and I get to make the demo reel! I don't have any concrete details, but I will post once things are finalized and we start shooting. For all of you athletes trying to find a way to catch a company or person's eye- this is a big way to do it.
Well, that sums up most things-- oh, send good vibes to Harold Martin of MotoPlayground/ The Pickle. I'm not sure of the details but it sounds like a bike tagged him in Texas (I don't think he was riding, I get the impression he was photog-ing). He's going to need to undergo a LOT of surgeries and healings. Send good thoughts to him and his family!
Oh! PS
My lil brother is racing Oak Hill National this week. If anyone sees him, cheer for him. He rides A class on a Nicoll Motors Kawasaki :) Hopefully he'll be a green blur.

Get Your Ass Up- Training, Homemaking, Living
MOVE IT

Text from my coach:

"pep Talk- its sunny, crisp & refreshing ;-O more sun, less dark, it's time to get your butt off the couch & start enjoying it. Get Fast Now!! :D Goooo!"
As you may have noticed by my lack of blogs, and lack of enthusiasm I have the Midwest Plague (head cold followed by bronchitis). Other detriments to my training have been the freezing weather and the early dark. I can't do the treadmill and trainer anymore. I'm SO over it.
Well dammit, I know, It's still gonna be chilly out, but I'm 3 weeks behind on my training, and I have a lot of lost ground to cover.
WildFlower is in T-55 days.

I am SO ready for this week! I can skip the rain, but bring on the 60's!!!

While I haven't done the blog thing much lately, and I really haven't done any training to speak of, I did do something.
I completely re did Bunny's old room (sadly, Bunny passed away the second week of Feb). So, instead of being a giantic rabbit cage, it is now the new and improved study.
Full new office furniture, striped the wallpaper, repainted, decorated, everything! I'll post pictures whenever I find some time... but I might be too busy since I'll be training.
What the new Study means:
I have a place to read and to write workouts instead of the living room table. Eric has his very own desk and office space to do all his, um, office type work, vs. the living room table. This means instead of chatting on the phone right in the middle of an important scene from LOST, he can actually go to the study and talk business. This way I don't get his business confused with Ben telling Locke about Penny's father (um, yeah, LOST people know what I mean).
Maybe now with this change we'll start eating meals at the dining table. Except for Thursday nights. That's where we'll eat, at the living room table, and figure out why Faraway had to cut his Oxford hair. :)

101 Year old Man to Run London Marathon
How's this for making you feel like lazy? Talk about some motivation.



if(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object();
window.yzq_d['XQd1GtG_RuM-']='&U=128bpm0h2%2fN%3dXQd1GtG_RuM-%2fC%3d-1%2fD%3dLOGO%2fB%3d-1';

Marathon hopeful, 101, training hard
Wed Mar 5, 10:43 AM ET
Already Britain's oldest employee, 101-year-old Buster Martin now aims to become the world's oldest marathon runner by completing the London Marathon and celebrating with a pint of beer and a cigarette.
Sprightly and bearded, he completed a half marathon at the weekend in five hours 13 minutes. The former Army physical training instructor works three days a week for a London plumbing firm and says he has trained for the April 13th race in his spare time.
"I've said I'll attempt it," he told Reuters by telephone from his workplace at Pimlico Plumbers. "I haven't said I'll complete it. If I do make it, all the better. I hadn't thought of doing it before but someone asked me and the money goes to charity so why not?"
His sponsorship money will go to the Rhys Daniels Trust, which provides temporary accommodation for families of patients in specialist children's hospitals.
Martin, who had 17 children and returned to work at the age of 99 saying he was bored after two years of retirement, would beat the previous record for world's oldest marathon runner by eight years.
"If I finish, I'll do what I always do and have a pint and a fag," he said. "People ask what is my secret but I haven't got one. They say fags and booze are bad for you -- but I'm still here, aren't I?"
