core training, very important ...

"Core training for triathletes, By Alex Laws
Nov. 13, 2007 -- We have been hearing so much lately about core fitness yet do we really know why we should do it?
Let me give some light on the situation.
I am a former pro triathlete from Australia who went on to study exercise kinesiology 12 years ago. I was introduced to that big round ball that people use to just look at and never use. No one knew really what to do with them and when they would see me and my client doing these obscure exercises on them that thought we were crazy. Twelve years later it has become accepted and well known and more and more people are becoming educated about them. However I feel that swiss balls are still under-used, as it is such and important tool for anyone participating in any kind of sport." [source: triathletemag.com]

ALOHA --- Kjell

live the day ...

“Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find ''tomorrow'' on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, ''If I had my life to live over again. ''Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.” [source: thinkexist.com] why not --- Kjell

Navigating the Hazards of Athlete Travel --- by POWERBAR

Have a look at the Powerbar articel about: "Navigating the Hazards of Athlete Travel"
"Trotting the globe in pursuit of your next athletic adventure presents its own unique stresses and nutrition challenges that can easily undermine the best that your training has to offer. Whether you’re running your first-ever marathon in an event that takes place 3 time zones away or you’ve got your sights set on competing in Beijing in 2008, how you travel can effect your race. Knowing what to expect when traveling and pre-planning in order to navigate the hazards, can make a huge difference in your performance." [source: POWERBAR.com]

"Nur zu Besuch" ... "Just for visiting" - Toten Hosen

"Nur zu Besuch" ... "Just for visiting" from the Toten Hosen

"Immer wenn ich dich besuch, fühl ich mich grenzenlos.
Alles andere ist von hieraus so weit weg.
Ich mag die Ruhe hier, zwischen all den Bäumen,
als ob es den Frieden auf Erden wirklich gibt.
Es ist ein schöner Weg, der unauffällig zu dir führt.
Ja, ich hab ihn gern, weil er so hell und freundlich wirkt.
Ich habe Blumen mit, weiß nicht, ob du sie magst.
Damals hättest du dich wahrscheinlich sehr gefreut.
Wenn sie dir nicht gefalln, stör dich nicht weiter dran.
Sie werden ganz bestimmt bald wieder weggeräumt.
Wie es mir geht, die Frage stellst du jedesmal.
Ich bin ok, will nicht, dass du dir Sorgen machst.

Und so red ich mit dir wie immer,
so als ob es wie früher wär,
so als hätten wir jede Menge Zeit.
Ich spür dich ganz nah hier bei mir,
kann deine Stimme im Wind hörn.
Und wenn es regnet, weiß ich, dass du manchmal weinst.
Bis die Sonne scheint.
Bis sie wieder scheint.

Ich soll dich grüßen, von den andern,
sie denken alle noch ganz oft an dich.
Und dein Garten, es geht ihm wirklich gut,
obwohl man merkt, dass du ihm doch sehr fehlst.
Und es kommt immer noch Post, ganz fett adressiert an dich,
obwohl doch jeder weiß, dass du weggezogen bist.

Und so red ich mit dir wie immer
und ich verspreche dir
wir haben irgendwann wieder jede Menge Zeit.
Dann werden wir uns wiedersehn,
du kannst dich ja kümmern wenn du willst,
dass die Sonne an diesem Tag auch auf mein Grab scheint.
Dass die Sonne scheint.
Dass sie wieder scheint."

A GREAT RACE: MACCA and PETR!
"The last two years have been positively electrifying, and as the old saying goes, “third times a charm.”
On November 11, 2007, the City of Henderson will host the 3rd annual Nevada Silverman. Last year, Silverman made its mark by introducing the Centra Relay Challenge offering $100,000 dollars to the first relay to break 8 hours on the challenging course. Silverman played witness to some of the best athletes in the world competing for their chance at the prize."

"The Cookie Thief "

Found this on the web. I think it is a great story:
"This is to a scenario encouraging us not to rush into judgments.
A woman was waiting at an airport one night With several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shop Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book but happened to see That the man beside her as bold as could be Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. She munched cookies and watched the clock As this gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by Thinking "If I wasn't so nice I'd blacken his eye". With each cookie she took he took one too And when only one was left she wondered what he'd do. With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh He took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half as he ate the other She snatched it from him and thought "Oh brother, this guy has some nerve and he's also rude Why he didn't even show any gratitude".
She had never known when she had been so galled and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate. She boarded the plane and sank in her seat Then sought her book which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage she gasped with surprise There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes:
"If mine are here" she moaned with despair "Then the others were his and he tried to share"
"Too late to apologize she realized with grief" That she was the rude one, the ungrateful, the thief ..." [source: berro.com]

... backwards ...

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want." [Margaret Young]
That is true --- Kjell

HALLOWEEN ...

"Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day",[1] which is now also known as All Saints' Day. Some modern Halloween traditions developed out of older pagan traditions, especially surrounding the Irish holiday Samhain, a day associated both with the harvest and otherworldly spirits. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is now celebrated in several parts of the Western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia and New Zealand."
