Very...I love running its so fun too bad I can't run over 5 miles without nearly dying.

The girls are very nice too, they welcomed me into their running club ^_^. My GF WILL NEVER KNOW *evil eye*

You guys should try it out!! It's good ummm cross training!

are you trying to get us into running so that we will stop beating you to the top of the hills on the bike rides?

:D

I never---ever---claimed to be a good climber. I'll reach the top, probably not dead last but I will reach the top. I do pretty well on short climbs but the longer they get the farther I fall behind.

You guys should try running though. I'm getting a nice high out of seeing major progress every run, unlike cycling where it takes me at least a month to see any improvement...

Pff. While I make no aspersions to the attractiveness (or lack thereof) of "runner chicks", running is from the devil. Many years ago these contraptions called "bicycles" were invented so that people didn't have to run.

Ovo,
You should enter muddybuddy.com with us. We have a few friends entering it. I am NOT much of a runner,but this sounds like fun.

I remember reading a science article that said our bodies were specifically built for running and not just walking like primates do.

To get truly fit, you need to run.

And I remember reading articles that said running was bad on the knees and other bones, so there.

Running. Is. Of. The. Devil.

Ah, I found it:

How Running Made Us Human: Endurance Running Let Us Evolve To Look The Way We Do (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/11/041123163757.htm)

Anatomical Features that Help Humans Run

Skull features that help prevent overheating during running. As sweat evaporates from the scalp, forehead and face, the evaporation cools blood draining from the head. Veins carrying that cooled blood pass near the carotid arteries, thus helping cool blood flowing through the carotids to the brain.

A more balanced head with a flatter face, smaller teeth and short snout, compared with australopithecines. That "shifts the center of mass back so it's easier to balance your head when you are bobbing up and down running," Bramble says.

A ligament that runs from the back of the skull and neck down to the thoracic vertebrae, and acts as a shock absorber and helps the arms and shoulders counterbalance the head during running.

Unlike apes and australopithecines, the shoulders in early humans were "decoupled" from the head and neck, allowing the body to rotate while the head aims forward during running.

The tall human body with a narrow trunk, waist and pelvis creates more skin surface for our size, permitting greater cooling during running. It also lets the upper and lower body move independently, "which allows you to use your upper body to counteract the twisting forces from your swinging legs," Bramble says.

Shorter forearms in humans make it easier for the upper body to counterbalance the lower body during running. They also reduce the amount of muscle power needed to keep the arms flexed when running.

Human vertebrae and disks are larger in diameter relative to body mass than are those in apes or australopithecines. "This is related to shock absorption," says Bramble. "It allows the back to take bigger loads when human runners hit the ground."

The connection between the pelvis and spine is stronger and larger relative to body size in humans than in their ancestors, providing more stability and shock absorption during running.

Human buttocks "are huge," says Bramble. "Have you ever looked at an ape? They have no buns." He says human buttocks "are muscles critical for stabilization in running" because they connect the femur the large bone in each upper leg to the trunk. Because people lean forward at the hip during running, the buttocks "keep you from pitching over on your nose each time a foot hits the ground."

Long legs, which chimps and australopithecines lack, let humans to take huge strides when running, Bramble says. So do ligaments and tendons including the long Achilles tendon which act like springs that store and release mechanical energy during running. The tendons and ligaments also mean human lower legs that are less muscular and lighter, requiring less energy to move them during running.

Larger surface areas in the hip, knee and ankle joints, for improved shock absorption during running by spreading out the forces.

The arrangement of bones in the human foot creates a stable or stiff arch that makes the whole foot more rigid, so the human runner can push off the ground more efficiently and utilize ligaments on the bottom of the feet as springs.

Humans also evolved with an enlarged heel bone for better shock absorption, as well as shorter toes and a big toe that is fully drawn in toward the other toes for better pushing off during running.

All so we could run away from being eaten......or chase the damned food.
After all my years of skateboarding I'll pass on the running thanks. NO cartilage.
Now where's my bike?

No. You said "women in uniform are hot" which implies that women, regardless of their hotness independent of the uniform, are hot simply because they are wearing a uniform. :p

honestly, me neither. Granted, I would not kick her out of bed for eating crackers, but she looks a little too made up and 'plastic-y' compared to a other women.

(P.S.) what kind of uniform is that? It does not look like a girl scout or brownie uniform and if it is a schoolgirl uniform it needs the obligitory white shirt and tartan skirt. :D
