BMC

My new job: "The Benewah Medical and Wellness Center (BMC/WC) is located in Benewah County in the Panhandle of Idaho on the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation. This county has the highest number of minorities of any county in the State of Idaho. Poverty, unemployment, and geographic isolation initially characterized the service area. Almost a third of our users are below 200% of t he Federal poverty guidelines. Clinic users are about 50% Indian and 50% non-Indian. Approximately 40% of our patients have no insurance. Benewah County also typically has the highest unemployment rate in Idaho, and over double the national unemployment rate. Eleven percent of BMC patients are 65 or older. There has been significant economic improvement to the service area in the last 5 years, although conditions continue to exist that warrant continued access for the underserved population. Many in the community continue to be underinsured or have no insurance at all. " [source: BMC] --- Kjell

Hey Sebi, nice one: "Sebastian Kienle had already shown his stuff in Europe and thus people there were somewhat familiar with him.

"Writing on the Run"

"... Collins had come to the United States on a college track scholarship, but running had been a means to an end for him, a way to get out of Ireland in the 1980s. Although his athletic career showed promise, he gave up the sport after graduating from Notre Dame in 1986.
Collins didn't return to running for nearly a decade when, six weeks after the stabbing, he signed up for the Chicago Marathon. The race was a mere week away. Powered by his commuter mileage, he ran a 2:30, good for 39th place. That performance reignited a passion for the sport that pushed him toward ultra distances. "I like the spirit of old explorers," he says. "Go and see if you can survive." ... " [author: Araina Bond // source: active] I got my best ideas running/biking/swimming --- Kjell

Is Running in the Cold Bad for Your Lungs?

I knew it "Have you ever heard your mom or coach warn you not to run in the cold? "You'll freeze your lungs if you run in that frigid air," they say. You've maybe even thought it yourself: At what temperature will the cold air damage your lungs? Research shows that runners are not in danger of freezing their lungs, even in the coldest places on Earth such as the North and South Poles. Thanks to our body's brilliant design and adaptability, air reaches body temperature by the time it greets our lungs." [By Amanda McCracken - D3Multisport.com] Enjoy your run --- Kjell

Biest Booster

"Biest Booster: Give it a try as race nutrition on the run
Experiment by Kjell Schiöberg, our Chef de Cuisine
There are so many guidelines recommending race nutrition. They all claim to be the best option, but at the end everybody has to make his/her own experience. Experimenting yourself, what’s best for you is the only way to really find out what works best for you under which circumstances. Therefore I undertook the experiment to run a marathon with a Biest Boosters only waiving gels or bars." [source: biestmilch.com]

Thank you Biestmilch for the flowers.
"Ironhamburger: Our Chef de Cuisine in Action
If you are an athlete and you need a cook Kjell Schiöberg is the perfect choice. He is working with me in Kona, Hawaii since 4 years now. Ask athletes like Chris “MACCA” McCormack or Ronnie Schildknecht, his meals are just perfect, the variety is amazing, and everything is healthy and tasty.
You can pass by for dinner by surprise, Kjell is able to improvise fast and efficient. What I like so much about him is that he stays always calm regardless how many people are invading our place.
Last year in Kona he prepared our Biestmilch dinner for 30 people, it was sensational…
