  1. I've actually read a few things that just swishing Gatorade/Powerade in your mouth prior to working out is just as effective as actually drinking it, without as many of the negatives.

     

    Chocolate milk's always been my favorite post-workout drink.

    I truely don't think Lance will be a problem for Alberto. All the talk is about these mountain stages not being super difficult. Once the true mountain stages begin, I think Alberto will show why he is the best GC rider in the world.

     

    Remember, Alberto has won a Giro and Vuelta since he won the TDF in 2007. I would have bet on him winning the TDF last year had Astana been allowed to race. I still think it was a mistake and took a lot away from last years tour.

     

    Hi stranger. :cheers

    hey, don't post any links in which I appear. I had not met Mr. Anheuser at that point, so I had no idea what life meant. I feel like a moron looking at those posts.

     

    You were a legend on the MLB.com boards.

    When I first got word of the White Sox putting Mags on the market, I was blown away. Just a couple weeks ater being on a White Sox high after bringing back Ozzie and thinking of the possibilities of the 2004 season, we find out that we're going to trade away what could be our next big franchise player. I found it to be a real stab in the back from JR. I'm so tired of his tight wadding of money etc.

    He complains that he will not spend money on players etc., until people start coming to the games. We were one game short of breaking 2 million in attendance this year. That's really not too bad in my eyes. Does he really expect we'd come anywhere close to that mark in attendance if our starting lineup consists of (nothing against these guys) but Miles, Harris, Borchard, and Wright? It just seems we're starting one of our infamous rebuilding stages, once again.

     

    I was a bit negative in my first post.

  5. I was waiting for the results to be posted, before I wrote this--I ran the Race for Young Life 5K in Palatine yesterday morning in 21:20. It was a great time, especially since the rains held off; it only spit on us during the run. I ended up placing 26th out of 200+. Also, I surprisingly won the male 20-24 age class, which was an awesome shock. I got a certificate yesterday, and they send personalized trophy/plaques to the winners via mail.

     

    I'm hoping to go to Ohio to visit a college buddy in mid-August, where we're planning on doing a race there. If not, I signed up for the Windrunner 10K in Wheaton at the end of August, as my final tune-up before the Walter Payton 16,726 Yard Run in September.

    I was in search of doing some kind of race this summer, and stumbled upon this. I'm striking out in finding a decent race or two before then. Does anyone know of anything taking place in the northwest suburbs this summer? Thanks in advance.

     

    I just completed my first 10K, which was also my first race. I ran the Wauconda 10K this morning in 48:12. It was definitely a learning experience, and I could have timed much better.

     

    I was too pumped going off the start line with all the people and exerted myself much more than my usual pace. I admittedly walked a little in the middle of the race, and have a better understanding what I need to do in the future, as I anticipate this being the first of many. Great experience.
