    Lol, thanks for the reply I read every single word. I've been kinda busy as well…not really except that I have this exam on Monday that I'm kinda prepared for but I still need to brush up on some topics. To answer your question, the person that I write about in my blogs does know I have this blog and she does read it. She usually never tells me anything about it though I only know she reads it because she's told me so from time to time or makes a casual remark on an entry. Oh, I don't fly to and from home, haha. Although, it might be cheaper but my parents drop me off and it takes 3 hours by car to get here on a plane it'd be like what…45 minutes I think. I'm always mistaken for being some other nationality but usually no one ever asks “Hey are you Mexican?” I guess I don't fit the stereotype but truth be told I don't really know what to identify with. I never really felt “American” because growing up I spent most of my childhood in a predominantly white community which kinda made me develop this inferiority complex and I never really felt “Mexican” because there was so little of that culture to be found here when I was younger. When I was growing up most people would have a friends circle composed of people that were the same race/ethnicity as themselves but I always found myself breaking away from that and having a good mix of people that I hung around. I guess being in those groups made me feel like I belonged since I could identify with them and they with me since I tended to make friends with “minorities.” There's a pretty large Vietnamese community over here is it like that over there where you live as well? I'm curious since from what I've seen over here they tend to group together a lot so I guess there's a strong sense of community between Vietnamese people? I've never really experienced that so sometimes I wonder if it's that important to have and why they tend to stick together so much, I guess having been without kind of makes me skeptical as to it's benefits. Oh and back on the topic of food/health, it took me well over 2 years to lose the weight I needed to lose which was about 30-40 pounds. I'm 5'7″ (170cm) tall and weigh 139-ish which is pretty good although I do force myself to run regularly and do some muscle toning exercises although after a while you kind of enjoy the workout since it leaves you feeling accomplished. And yes it has helped my self-esteem a lot although I'm still kinda bad with “meeting” people in a more romantic sense but I don't feel as self conscious walking around anymore. Although, I think romantic prowess is in a completely different category and is a “skill” of its own that needs to be developed, aha. Anyways, I wish I could cook =[ I can only make simple dishes but starting next semester I'll have a kitchen and I might not be able to use it when the time comes ='[ Oh, if I were to buy you a meal...well I'd say probably sushi or something along the lines. I really like Asian food in general I'd say it's my favorites type of "foreign" food since it incorporates so many different flavors and spices. Lately though I've been having cravings for pizza/hamburgers but I can never get myself to buy it because I feel so guilty =X What are your favorite dishes? Oh and I'm not too sure on Pharmacology I just wanted to put something out there for the mean time so I don't feel like a complete failure in life who doesn't know where hes going but I guess time will tell if its for me. Thanks for seeing me in such a flattering light but I've had my time to grow up and I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't always this way it's only through my experiences that I've tried to see the world more openly and from every perspective as well as my own. Although, that makes me sound quite arrogant, no? I sound as if I've learned all that there is but surely I still have quite a ways to go as a person but at least I think I'm on the right path for now. =]

    Looks like a good warm up. Lots of core strength exercises. I think less able players would benefit more from classes with a large fitness element but to keep the skills and randori times up as well. More classes?… Glad finding it inspirational. Stay out of That's cheating!

    As a coach of runners who are going for their first marathon or half-marathon, the issue of weight training is brought up quite often.
    All of my runners weight train in order to make their overall bodies stronger. This is especially true of their legs, which have the burden of carrying them for 26.2 miles.
    The whole idea of the Taper is to reduce your workload…and rest! This allows you to recover from all the work done over the last 4 or 5 months.
    Since you are doing a 3-week taper, I suggest the following:
    During the first week, reduce your weights at all. Maintain what been doing during the last 3-4 weeks.
    During the second week, do the same weights, but reduce the number of reps in each set. If you normally do 12-10-8 reps per set, reduce that to 10-8-6 reps during this week.
    The reason you want to keep working with the same weights is so your body forget what been doing! A good taper of your running will reduce the number of miles in the first week, but not the intensity. Half way through the second week of 3, you to reduce the intensity of your workouts.
    During your final week (Marathon week!), this is the time to really take it easy. You are going to be carbo loading this week, and perfectly okay to cut back on both weights and mileage, as well as the intensity of the mileage. If you do any weights this week, make it just one session about half-way through the week. If the marathon is on Saturday, do the weights no later than Tuesday. This will give you 3 full days for the muscles to recover.
    Also, the final week leading to the marathon is where you run hard at all. You cannot possibly improve your level of conditioning during this final week, so to take the safe approach. The thing is to go to the Line feeling rested and strong.
    If your weekly mileage peaked at 50, reduce it by 10 during the first week of the taper (down to 40), then down to 25 the following week, and no more than 15 for the final week. None of my runners do any running at all during the last 2 days prior to the marathon. This guarantees they will go to the Line ready to run their best possible marathon.

    One tip here: Most of the larger marathons have expositions, where vendors from all over the country come to sell their wares. Most of these expositions are on hard floors, usually made of concrete. stay on them too long! Instead, take in the workshops that most of the larger marathons will have. get a chance to hear some good ideas, and swap "war stories" with other runners about how you trained.

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me any time.

    Good luck, and good running!

    I like how hes slamming the weights to the ground after every rep ( with the 4 plates)
