For those of you that loyally follow this here and want to train for the 1st annual Turkey Trot on Saturday November 20, 2010.
I adopted this training schedule from Hal Higdon and Hershell Walker so here goes:
As we sit, we are 8 weeks and one day away from the race.
So, let's say the training begins on Monday with week 1.
Week 1 Sept 27-Oct 3
Monday 1.5 mile run
Tuesday Rest
Wednesday Around 50 Jumping Jacks, 50 push-ups, and 30 sit-ups
Thursday 3 mile run
Friday Jog it out til you feel like stopping
Saturday 3 mile run
Sunday Rest
I would repeat this schedule with fluctuating up on the running mileage or running faster.
Go easy at first though and never begin exercise before consulting your doctor.
See you out there!

Roll up your pant legs, it chasing time!
On the eve to the eve of the Chase for NASCAR, I just put on four tires and gas up the seer machine as I look into what is going to go down over the next 10 weeks on the NASCAR circuit.
We must look to our past to guide us in the future.
Loudon: the last 11 races at the track have seen a different winner, 8 of whom are in the chase. Only Gordon, Edwards, Kenseth, and Jeff Burton didn't win in that span, but Gordon owns 3 wins and Burton has 4 wins at the track. So basically everyone knows their way to the victory circle. Let's go with Kyle Busch in a wreckfest. 19 lead changes and 13 cautions for 72 laps.
Dover: one of my favorites. Biffle outduels Johnson.
Kansas: Edwards visits the lane here.
Fontana: Who cares? In a bit of a twist, Hamiln wins and then is apprehended for misconduct and gets docked 50 points.
Charlotte: Johnson back in the points lead after dominating win.
Martinsville: Johnson dominates first 400 laps, only to see his brakes and his crewchief fall in the waning laps. Kyle Busch on to victory.
Talladega: A non-chaser takes this win by the name of none other than Brad "everyone thinks I'm a punk" Kesolowski. Half the chasers are eliminated by a wreck caused by Dave Blaney. Johnson sits 89 points back of Kyle with 3 races to go.
Texas: Hamlin thinks he can make a charge by taking the checkered flag.
Phoenix: Another none chaser comes through, Ryan Newman scores the sweep at Phoenix
Homestead: Johnson wins but loses the points to Kyle by 14. 3 through 12 are Hamlin, Kurt Busch, Harvick, Stewart, Edwards, Biffle, Kenseth, Gordon, Jeff Burton, and Bowyer.
Celebrate the 'ship til you move to F1 Kyle!

Down to 15
The Reds magic number is down to 15. Basically, the Reds can clinch the central division with a combination of 15 wins and/or 15 losses by the Cardinals.
Realistically, with 19 games to play, the Reds need to play a touch over .500 baseball and it will be extremely difficult for the Cards to catch them.
Reds remaining:
4 at home with Arizona
3 on the road with Houston
3 on the road with Milwaukee
3 on the road with San Diego
3 at home with Houston
3 at home with Milwaukee
With the current record at 81-62, the Reds can go 10-9 over the last 19 and finish 91-71. For the Cardinals to catch the Reds and force a tie, they would need to go 17-4.
St. Louis does get a break in the schedule with getting the Pirates and Cubs for 12 of their final 21 games. Or is it a break? The Cards are 4-5 against the Cubs and 6-3 against the Pirates this year.
Keep tuned!
