Bone density problems
 

If you're the type who spends most of your time sitting, whether it is a
sailboat, car, aeroplane or computer monitor you may experience more
fractures and breaks than those who maintain an active lifestyle. That's
because such sedentary activities do not increase bone density.

It is truly lamentable that we can add bone density problems to the long
list of things such as cardiac atrophy, impaired tidal volume, constipation,
arthritis, autoimmune disease, mental dullness, diabetes, lugged gut and
other inflictions of the inactive exercise adverse. Vigorous exercise can be
viewed as a type of insurance policy, here's just one example:

http://www.runningplanet.com/trainin...ve-longer.html

We've always heard that a material object can be replaced but your wellness
can't be. Wellness is not purchased, it is a matter of lifestyle choice and
commitment. It's not a distraction, is not fun but rather long lasting
contentment apparently appreciated by few and enjoyed by even less.

In old age people spend so much on their health. Smaller investments earlier
in life would have yielded much higher returns.

Not particularly. Past through twenty at 2:55, then hit the wall at
21, severe cramping in leg muscles, had to hobble in to finish. It
was hot.

Another shot in late Nov., trying for a sub 4:00. BAA qualifier for
my age. cooler course might do the trick.

Twenty-six miles and change in four hours. Let's see now, 26 divided by four
= 6.5. ****, man, I can WALK that fast.

Take it easy on old, decrepid Wilbur. Why not challenge him to a bicycle
race and give him a head start? Make it interesting and put some money on
it.

true redbeard-but you forgot about the nutruition part- next - raw
fruits & veggies & ya can do that in a juicer- thats the best way to
go - forget about the pills & vitiams- sure it works but not as good-
and they taste llike crap ya get nothging from them - drink the freah
juice ya just jucied baby-i juice all my stuff =2 oranges ,
gragefriuit carrotts celery - apples -every day - made a big change
instead of taking a vitium or a quick fix tonic- and what it does for
your bowel system - cleans you out - in a gental way , natural- so i
say buy a juicer - all natural juice you get - makes ya feel better &
better for your body - quit using sugar - every teaspoon of sugar
lowers your white cells 3-4 hours down - not good -proven medical fact
- refined sugar not good - use honey or other natural sweeting sorces
like u find in the health food store , cant rember the name now- and
yes exercise your self - dont got to be rigorous - u can set and do -
best is pilates & yoga - no stress no pain - thats my tip for the day
- later mysterrymermaid2

I have thought about it a bit and I really believe a bicycle race the length
of a marathon would be a fair and just contest. Rickety old Wilbur could
fish a bicycle out of the dumpster and with all his wheezing, coughing and
defunct liver could do the 26 miles in about the time it takes someone to
run it (4 hrs or so). I'm sure I could talk deluded Wilbur into the
challenge if he's liquored up enough. I'd say time trial it, no drafting,
each man on his own. Even giving Wilbur a head start would be a sure bet,
it's not like he can hold 24+ mph (on a non-aero bike) for over an hour or
he's a contender for some sanctioned cycling championship or that's he a top
rated cyclist for his age group and those 20 years younger, let alone a
locally noted triathlete. No way on that front. I'll even run a sag wagon
for poor dilapidated Wilbur and pick up the pieces as he goes along.

How about it?

I guess you think Redbeard is my sock puppet? Wrong! I don't know who
Redbeard is but I like his suggestion. You seem to think you're fit because
you can run 26 miles in around four hours. I say that's pretty pathetic.
That's slow. Certainly nothing to brag about.

You say bring it on. Here's my challenge. Since I quit competitive running
years ago because of excessive wear and tear on my knees and feet (58-60
minutes was a typical time for a ten-mile race, btw) I have, indeed,
switched my training to cycling which is easier on the old bones.

There's a grueling little event called a 40K individual time trial. (40K is
about a mile short of a marathon). Anytime you'd like to have your ass
kicked real bad let's compete in a 40K ITT.

Deal? Or YOU going to be like Bobsprit and chicken out.

Sounds like a whole lot of trouble to go and get a sprained ankle anyway!

If you want strong bones take strontium. It's that simple. Weight lifting
and strontium.

I'll give you the same deal I gave Bobsprit. You can qualify to run
with me by providing links to your many competitions where I can see
your significant victories overall, in age, GM or otherwise, then
we'll talk. In the mean time, curtain down on the puppet show. As I
mentioned to Bobsprit, it would be a significant honor to run with a
superior athlete. I invited him to any number of races. Guess he was
too busy training with the elites to have time for me.

to
run it (4 hrs or so). I'm sure I could talk deluded Wilbur into the
challenge if he's liquored up enough. I'd say time trial it, no
drafting,
each man on his own. Even giving Wilbur a head start would be a sure
bet,
it's not like he can hold 24+ mph (on a non-aero bike) for over an hour
or
he's a contender for some sanctioned cycling championship or that's he a
top
rated cyclist for his age group and those 20 years younger, let alone a
locally noted triathlete. No way on that front. I'll even run a sag
wagon
for poor dilapidated Wilbur and pick up the pieces as he goes along.

How about it?

I believe it is time to exit the puppet show since I may be the only
carbon based entity in same.

I guess you think Redbeard is my sock puppet?

Of course! I do admire your ability to keep them all separate only
making mistakes every so often.


Wrong! I don't know who
Redbeard is but I like his suggestion. You seem to think you're fit
because
you can run 26 miles in around four hours. I say that's pretty pathetic.
That's slow. Certainly nothing to brag about.

You say bring it on. Here's my challenge. Since I quit competitive running
years ago because of excessive wear and tear on my knees and feet (58-60
minutes was a typical time for a ten-mile race, btw) I have, indeed,
switched my training to cycling which is easier on the old bones.

Please, easy, I'm still a little sore from Sunday, ROTFLOL is fairly
painful.

There's a grueling little event called a 40K individual time trial. (40K
is
about a mile short of a marathon). Anytime you'd like to have your ass
kicked real bad let's compete in a 40K ITT.

Deal? Or YOU going to be like Bobsprit and chicken out.

Wilbur Hubbard

I'll give you the same deal I gave Bobsprit. You can qualify to run
with me by providing links to your many competitions where I can see
your significant victories overall, in age, GM or otherwise, then
we'll talk. In the mean time, curtain down on the puppet show. As I
mentioned to Bobsprit, it would be a significant honor to run with a
superior athlete. I invited him to any number of races. Guess he was
too busy training with the elites to have time for me.

In other words you're chickening out. You're too afraid to accept my
challenge? Or is it you realize you don't have a snowball's chance in hell
of even coming close to my times?
