Came across this little sweetheart of a web site today. I had to laugh.
let me know what you think. Click here

I took my daughter to the Library today, she signed out 18 books! I got 1 " The Complete Idiot's Guide to Running" By Bill Rodgers and Scott Douglas.
Incidentally I prefer being an Idiot to a dummy, it seems to be a more sophisticated word for self loathing.
Since I started "running" this week I thought I might pick up a few pointers and some useful information.
The first thing I've learned is there is no difference between a "runner" and a "jogger" so I now go for "runs" not "jogs". 3500 Calories = 1 pound of fat, 1 mile = 100 burned calories. I'm only 32 pages in (I really, really need glasses) but I've crossed a few quotes worth typing in.
On seeing your doctor before starting an exercise program.

"Doctors are trained to fight disease, not prescribe health."

What your body says when you run for your first time.

" Hmmm, I haven't really experienced that before. This crazy person just might ask me to do that again. I had better be ready"

I also learned that I may be training too hard. I like to think of it as "light days" and "heavy days"
Tomorrow Im just going for a swim as it is a "light day"
I'm going over to a buddy’s house to watch the Leafs tomorrow night, the beer will be flowing and I'm sure there will be a smoker in the crowd. I know this is a trigger event for me and I probably should protect my quit and not go but what good is great health and strong family relationships if you got no friends?
