  1. i've decided to take up running (duh!) and i know that right
    now i'm probably overdoing it a bit for a newbie. i've been
    putting in about 2 miles a day for about the last week and a
    half. but i'm not sore or anything... i'm really enjoying
    it. on saturdays and wednesdays i run outside and the other
    days i use the treadmill at the gym before work (5am, omg).

    anyway... my question is... what is a normal running
    scheduel like. i feel like since i'm a beginner i should do
    these short stretches of runs (2 miles) more often until i
    build up endurance a bit more.

    If you want to build up endurance. Take one day a week off
    and then run twice your normal distance the day after at a
    nice easy pace. After a couple weeks increase your daily
    mileage by a half mile continue taking a day off and
    continue to run double your daily distance the next day.
    Good luck !

    That sounds like a good start. Rule of thunb is a 10%
    increase per week.

    Congrats on running again!

    PRESIDENT: The terrorists and Baathist holdouts know that a
    free and stable Iraq will be a major defeat to the cause of
    hatred and terror. They can't stand the thought of a free
    society. They know that the rise of democracy and hope in
    the Middle East will mean the decline of their appeal and
    influence. So the terrorists understand that Iraq is the
    central front in the war on terror. They're testing our
    will. And, day by day, they are learning, our will is firm,
    their cause will fail. We will stay on the offensive.
    Whatever it takes, we will seek and find and destroy the
    terrorists, so that we do not have to face them in our own
    country. "
