I really wanted a challenge to start the year off with a bang, so I ran a half marathon today. It wasn't in a race, but I ran 21.2K. The first 16K were steady state, and the last 5K was fairly full out shorter sprints with walk breaks. I did what I set out to do, and that was important to me...

You can't change thread titles, but I agree and wish you could. The title is bullshit, even though well-intentioned.

WTF is up with their assembly instructions? There is only a diagram and it bears no resemblance to the actual parts. I put it together from my own brain, but it took two hours and the necessity of completely ignoring the instructions.

Those look terrifying to me. Maybe it's just my tendency to hurt my ankles, but those strike me as an accident waiting to happen. I feel the same way about trampolines. How do you stop yourself from biting it regularly?

Lemonade colour might actually be too dark, depending on the number of lemons!

Just watch your pee- it should be pale yellow. If it's clear, you're drinking too much water. Other substances can cause you to need to pee more, such as caffeine. The main benefit to drinking lots of water is just to keep your hands busy- you're more likely to reach for the water if it's...

I did 500 freakin' push ups today And yep, they were all with good form and off my toes. Shortly after my posting this thread, I decided to change things up on the push up challenge part of my daily workout. I had got up to 71 push ups per session. Well, I was getting a little bored with...

Can you imagine $10 better spent?
