Running

[Ramsus]

Damn, I did some good running today. I was ahead of the pack up until the General Tso's chicken I ate for lunch caught up to me sometime around my fourth lap. I only ended up running two miles in the time we had because of that, but I really pushed my last lap and damn near passed everyone.

Of course, ten minutes later retreat sounds and I end up puking in the middle of my salute.

I'm really starting to like running though. It actually feels better if you just push yourself.

I have only once run to the point where I felt genuinely nauseated. I didn't enjoy it at all; for me it completely drowned out the usual post-running high.

Good for you for putting a positive light on it. But as for me, that's one part of the military experience I won't miss.

I used to like running, until the pills I'm taking made my legs weak and sore.

[Lord J Esq]

Not me. Of all the sports, running is one I like nearly the least. Give me a bicycle or a backpack any day.

I look forward to hiking next summer. But I also look forward to running like I did in my youth. Getting tired and sick and being out of breath is a problem that has crossed over into the intimate zone, like CE corrupting or other things. It's when you come to be familiar with a problem and look for the next available opportunity to overcome it, as if it were a hated but show-stealing villain on your stage. Someday I will run without fatigue.

Yeah im going hiking this weekend up by mt. Rainer in Washington can't wait it's 6 miles one way 12 to come back! Then ima goto Macdonald's haha thats not too healthy ima regain teh calories I lost hiking. Im Kinda worried tho there's a big bridge i gotta cross over a kinda river. =( I dont like heights!

[Lord J Esq]

I didn't even know Mt. Rainier National Park was open. I thought they closed most of it after damage from the flood in early November.

*checks*

Here's how it's coming along:

Have fun, and be sure to tell somebody your exact route and planned travel times.

[XcyrusX]

Yeah they did close *most of it* not all of it though.

After asking my dad the specifics of the hike he told me it was called the Carbon River hike and that there is a big bridge over the river heres a pic of it.

and according to the helpful site you posted i found this tidbit.


November 2006 Flooding

Heavy rains caused flooding that damaged park roads and facilities.

State Routes 410 & 123 and the Paul Peak/Mowich Lake areas are closed at the park boundaries by winter conditions but remain open to normal, non-motorized winter activities such as hiking, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing.

Walk-in access is available to Carbon River area trailheads by parking at the entrance and hiking the designated rough route along the washed out road.

Repair efforts are currently focused on the Nisqually Entrance to Longmire corridor. The road crew is reconstructing the 200 yards of missing road at Sunshine Point. Restoration of utilities at Longmire is also underway.

And were leaving Friday the 8th!

...but i didnt know it was gonna be a rough road and on the news over on the west coast some azn guy got killed cause he got lost in the mountains its really sad..he looked like a good guy. Now im kinda worried my dad said it was alright tho so yeah w/e anyway if i dont post on monday call the COPs ..im not jking.

This rules:

Rice's off-season workout programs are infamous throughout the league. Most notably, his grueling 6-day-a-week offseason regimen of running five vertical miles coupled with running wind sprints up the steepest section in the hills near San Carlos, California. He is known to push himself mercilessly to keep in top physical shape. Many other NFL wide receivers have approached Rice in the hopes of working out with him during the off-season.

Rice just explained some of his success as being the result of Rock Lee hard work. That rules.

I love running, and I've been at it for over 5 years with track and XC now. I really can't imagine taking a break to eat in the middle of a run, though. Seems to be the same as taking your lunch into the ocean and swimming to shore as you eat it. xD

I remember watching an interview for my sports med class about his strict-as-hell regimen. Even the top and most promising footballas(as we called them) in the class would never even try it. xD

I would probably enjoy the sprints up that hill though; I've never done any sprints at such a steep incline, but it looks like the best workout a sprinter like me could use.

X/C for 5 years now, track for 2. I'm a runner all through, and I think its the best form of physical exercise you can possibly do.

And I agree . . . hills are fun (you know, in that crazy-runner, feel-like-you-want-to-die-after-way. The best kind of fun). That actually makes me want to try running up that; I've heard California has some pretty crazy hills, and I'd love to try them someday.

You should drive up to Mt. Tam if you live in the bay area. There is plenty of steep terrain on the harder trails. I'm more os a sprinter than a distance runner, so hills to me are the best thing since sliced bread bread without preservatives.

If you're gonna run, run for excersise.  If you want the high, do drugs.

Drugs screw up your body so you don't even get the exercise. Anyway, a runner's high is like one of the most awesome things on the planet.

[ZeaLitY]

Runner's high comes from a sense of achievement, or possibly cannabinoids. Little evidence exists for endorphin release.
