Thanks! blk, it is! I love that it is not your run of the mill 5k, which is what I do around 30 mins, and that it fits more with my mentality (smaller, more intensive workouts) Hammlin, I actually never got to that - both times the hypothermia kicked in when I was halfway through. Maybe next year i'll buy a wetsuit. And I have no idea what that is, sorry :S

Erm, hi! I feel like I need to reintroduce myself, since I joined like two years ago and then did nothing. I'm Alan, I'm in Boulder, trying to get my PhD in Chemical Engineering at CU-Boulder, and I've been on and off exercise my whole life, but definitely improving since I moved to Boulder. I've done the Colorado Military Sprint Spartan Race twice, and both times I've not finished due to hypothermia. Fun times! I'm currently following reddit's beginner bodyweight routine: pushups (ring pushups), rows (wide on rings), pullups (archer started this week), dips (rings), and instead of leg work I run three times a week using Zombies, Run! with zombie chase for sprinting. My next goal is to master the handstand, but for that I need a buddy - I tried on my own and failed. Know anyone in the Boulder area? Cheers everyone!

Hi! My name is Alan, and I'm currently looking for someone to train with me to get a handstand done for more than one second! I was wondering if there's anyone nearby that would like to train with me/coach me if they already dominate the handstand? I spend most of my time near Scott Carpenter Park (I work at CU Boulder) so we could meet there? I can always sneak out of work for good thirty minutes if needed be. Thanks!

I have the Cuisinart, seven cups, classic model. I snagged it on sale at Macy's, and since I joined their credit card that same day I ended up paying around sixty five bucks. Pretty good, has done everything I asked him to, even almond butter! So it's an option. But then again, it's just me, myself and I with my cooking.

I'm about to begin a Bachelor in Mathematics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

I definitely meant plank. My mistake.

Morning workout: Ten minutes of active flexibility, including shoulder rotations, ankle rotations, twists, etc. I felt so stiff I wanted to cry after ten minutes when usually I'm the most flexible guy around. 2x10 pull ups. Again, stiff. 2x30 sec planche 2x15 sec hollow 2x15 sec arch 1x5 pistol (each leg) 1x15 sec full body stretch (convict conditioning full stretch, the one with al kavadlo pictures) So, I finally go back to working out, aftewr a hectic week of moving. I definitely feel super stiff, and relatively tired. I definitely need topick up some slack after a month of not doing anything. Where's the kid whou could do twenty pull ups in a row? Not inthis thread

Also sunny side ups will be firmer, since the white won't spread all over the place

The best thing to do would be to cut it out for a month, and then reintroduce it, to see if you are intolerant or something. I did and realized that while not intolerant, I'm definitely sensitive so I reduced my consumption. Also, try to make sure it is either raw or vat-pasteurized and non-homogenized (that is, the less treatments it has, the better). For cheese, again it depends on your tolerance and the source. Most commercial cheeses have cornstarch added to prevent clumping if shredded, so those are a no. Farm cheeses are usually ok. =D

I am so, so sorry

Wow, and I thought I was scrawny at 140 lbs. Milk is your friend, in TOP of everything else. Your meat, your veggies. Try to eat coconut oil by the spoonful, one or two a day. And keep exercising. =D

I workout while in a fast, but after that I either have breakfast or I begin my eating period. I am thinking of getting Mark Sisson's Primal Formula

Enjoy this once, and move on. It's a lifestyle, not a fad diet.

Frittatta. Just chop veggies, fry them in a cast iron pan, add beaten eggs and broil. AWESOME.

Since the moving procedure is still going on I haven't had time to do anything, not even japanese (I do want to keep my job). Hopefully today or tomorrow I can catch up!

Understandable. Beengoing through the same situation so awfulness is non existent.

Found this. Will have to do some of the stuff he shows here http://www.rosstraining.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=157

And I forgot to mention Zen Pencils. Not a comic, but a collection of quotes and sayings that definitely boost you up.

Nobody has mentioned A Brawl in the Family? What about Cyanide and Happiness?

Reporting: since I moved yesterday, I did not do any exercise since moving all the boxes in itself was a heavy exercise. I did advance my book and my japanese. Though I sacrificed some time from work, which goes against the purpose

I use the well fed recipe as well, but I use a hand held blender, makes everything a lot easier.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]4983[/ATTACH] I made my own set of parallettes. Was pretty easy.

There's a recipe for a broccoli salad in Mark Sisson's cookbook. Basically is broccoli, mayo, honey/maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, dried fruit and nuts of choice. NOMNOMNOM. This is my picture of how I made it. Shame on me for linking to my blog =$ http://cookingwithanipad.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/broccoli-salad-and-homemade-mayo/

OK here are mine. They are going to be all over the place, literally, and honestly five is too little, but let's see what happens. In no particular order: Dyonisos - La Mecanique de Coeur Dyonisos is a french band that has been around since the late eighties, and I think their music just keeps getting better and better. La Mecanique de Coeur is not an album: it's a story about a boy who was born with no heart, and had to be substituted by a mechanic clock. Using several songs in english and french we find out what happens to that little boy when he grows up, and when he falls in love, particularly because the clock cannot take such strains. Mostly rock, but has some interesting rap thrown in there.* Olivia Ruiz - Le Chocolat Show Another french artist, in this case a former winner of the french American Idol. And boy you can tell the difference between American Idol and its french counterpart. Already she has been called the new Edith Piaf. This album is a live recording of her show in Paris, in which the arrangement of the songs was to follow a circus act (appropiate since the arena whe this was presented was formerly a circus). Arranged in the classic structure of the three act spectacle, it's something beautiful to listen (and if you see some of the videos in youtube, the show was pretty good too!) Shakira - MTV Unplugged Her last album before she started writing in english, this is a Shakira that is closer to her rock origins, and where experimenting means fusoning latin american sounds with a rough voice and a rock background. To me this was the apex of her career, and I long to see her do an album that does justice to rock again. Particularly interesting "Ciega, Sordomuda" because the original song was rock/pop, and here she transformed it into a raspy and poignant mariachi song.* Various artists - Bimexicano I'm a sucker for three kind of albums: those that tell a story, unplugged and live shows, and cover albums. In this case, this album was a project comissioned to celebrate the 200 years of Mexico's Independence, and they gathered some of the biggest names in Mexico's indie pop and rock to do so. A beautiful and interesting way to learn about mexican cultural music but listening to rock instead.* Evanescence - Fallen Probably the weakest of my list, but I cannot not include it. This is my default go-to album when I'm depressed, down or frustrated. Nobody can deny that Amy Lee's voice is gorgeous and sometimes you need something emo in order to realize WTF? I ain't that bad! So many albums and artists I didn't mention! German bands (Sportfreunde Stiller's MTV Unplugged in New York; Wir Sind Helden's Die Reklamation), English (Muse, The Beatles), American, South American... oh boy, I can spend lots and lots of time talking music!

awordpress, that is what I use for my cooking blog. Easy to use and easy to manage
