Geeze, somewhere along the line I missed releases nine through 21. Thanks for the reminder ... some of the tracks are decent.

Fine ... beer opened and in hand. I had to give in to peer pressure.

Tempting ...

I have come to really like the LX platform. If I was 10 years younger I would have bought a Charger R/T, but I opted for the mafia mobile instead.

Dave I like your towel idea.

Pain from running comes almost entirely from improper mechanics and running surface. Stride length, and to an extent frequency, can only be trained up until your mid-teen years, so drastically trying to change those two factors now is not likely to happen. The object of running is not to slam your feet to the pavement ... you want to keep your head as level as possible and propel yourself forward instead of up and down. Try running on something other than asphalt/concrete - grass, crushed brick, in water, and rubberized tracks (although controversial as of late). I just spent $60,000 on five new treadmills that, instead of one solid track, utilize floating rubber slats that conform to the bottom of your foot every time you take a step ... not too soft to throw your mechanics off, but just soft enough to absorb a lot of the impact which takes stress off the ankle, knee, and hip joints. Try to avoid huge jumps in training intensity. External rotators and hip abductors should be strengthened to help prevent internal thigh rotation. Knee pain can often stem from a high Q angle of the femur or overpronation of the foot - have your posture checked out. Sometimes strengthening your vastus medialis quadricep muscle alone can help reduce or eliminate knee pain by ensuring that your patella is tracking along the femur correctly. Utilize a proper dynamic warm-up and always stretch afterwards (especially your IT band, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, soleus, and quadriceps. Use proper shoes and perhaps invest in orthotics or high quality insoles custom made for you. Icing your knees and/or shins after running may help keep inflammation down if you start to feel pain. Same thing applys for cycling. A huge percentage of the clients I see complain of knee pain from riding. The vast majority of those individuals leave in no pain once their cycle is realigned and their feet are properly placed.

bahahhahahaha omg, actuaLOL Took me one guess to figure out what thread that was in.

Looks like a road trip Friday. Need a new and cheap point and shoot digital camera. Mine is ancient and you cannot take more than two pictures on a single battery charge. Dogshit.

EDIT ~ Double post. I'll shoot you a PM soon with some info. If I don't, remind me.

The rectus abdominis is one muscle ... the entire muscle activates when performing exercises - targeting "upper" or "lower" abdominals is about as useful as performing isolation exercises or trying to work your "inner" and "outer" chest.

Damn I thought you had that all wrapped up!

Good luck with that. Yeat I'm afraid it is not going to happen. The guy has until the end of the week but I see him forgetting ...

If you say you are going to "let someone know either way" ... you damn well better let them know.

This should make a lot of people happy.

I'd just like to say that the Canadian Federal Government can suck either one of my nuts. Now I have to drive two hours to get my passport taken care of and it might arrive in time.

I'll be spending the day dealing with the Federal Government hoping I filled out this stupid application properly. sounds less than fun It is going to suck ... big time.

A few dealerships in the US have had some SRT's up around $87,000. '09's will be out in two to three months and guys have already ordered their Challenger's for below MSRP.

Yes ... and the price in the window you see is about $20,000-$40,000 over what should be paid. Some dealerships in Canada have been listing them around $80,000.

No idea how it works down there ... but to get into the US via air from Canada you need a passport ... and to get into the US via vehicle from Canada you need a birth certificate/POC and photo ID until June 1, 2009 when you will also be required to show a passport. Or a NEXUS card.

Well, if a place closer to town is around $600 ...

There is no arguing you can do the same thing outside of the gym for free or minimal cost versus going to the gym. Just be careful what you say if you are not certified and hold insurance ...

You are right - it was sooner but they have pushed the date back at least twice now.
