Ah, Saturday morning. Just hanging out for a bit before I head out on a 17-mile long run. I've been feeling some Achilles tightness lately after longer runs, so I need to make sure I do all the stretching and the icing and the glaaaaaayven.
Bounce to this:
- This week's dominant figure in the news: Paula Abdul. First, she appeared to be drunk on a live American Idol show the other night. Then, she caused a security breach after she was allowed to board a flight in Las Vegas without going through a screening checkpoint. And, of course, there's this frightening image of Barry Bonds' "tribute" to Ms. Abdul. What's next? I'm guessing it'll be the return of MC Skat Kat.
- A new study encourages women to lift weights to reduce body fat. Not a revolutionary finding, but maybe it'll get some more people exercising. Still, I've known plenty of people who lift regularly but don't seem to lose any weight. I'm betting they go home and shovel the food in, which of course negates any benefit derived from weight training. The best approach is to combine weights, aerobic exercise, and a sensible diet. Just sayin', is all.
- Just surfing the InterWeb can be a massive time-waster, but if you want to focus your wastage, you've got to check out YouTube. It's basically a repository for uploaded video, be it homemade clips of 12-year-old boys slapfighting and more unsavory stuff, or more importantly for my purposes, old rock videos and TV clips. It's pretty hit or miss and the image quality is often lacking, but what the hey, it's free.
- Hey, so you don't say I never gave you anything...here's MC Hammer's sports blog. Seriously. Enjoy.
