Hi. I used to be a track star back in the late 80's. Now I'm determined to resume running for the rest of my life. So far, so good. I run 2 miles daily now, sometimes a little more. I go somewhat slowly, but my fitness level is pretty decent.

On June 3, having trained only about a week (registered late, wasn't serious before...) in the POURING BUCKETS rain and a shoe lace that kept untying, I ran a 5K in 36 minutes.

I'm running my 2nd on August 26 and my goal is 28 - 30 minutes. I think it is very doable. What should my goal be for a race I'll run say in October? I plan to train about 5 days per week.

Thanks!

(more details if needed: I'm a 36 year old female, 5'10, pretty muscular, about 190 pounds ... )

you either love it or you hate it. i`ve had a liking for naughty pictures for years. (i can sense i`m going to get a mixture of nice and nasty answers over this one.) i`m a great fan of page three in the sun and daily star newspapers. (united kingdom) what`s your view? and do women like pornography too? or is it strictly a man thing?

I need to make a rope from 2 single sized bedsheets and a pillowcase. The rope must be strong enough for a 225 lb person to safely decend from a 4 story window to the ground. How many pieces should each bedsheet be torn into in order to make a rope strong enough to hold the person that is decending the rope? I have no room for trial and error. This has to be correct on my first attempt or else the rope will break because it's not strong enough; or the rope will be too short to reach the ground. The rope will only be used once, unless I can figure out a way to get the rope untied from the 4th story window when I'm on the ground.

would god really flood the whole world and did everyone expect for noel deserve to drown?
why did god do that if jesus died to save our sins? drowning is not forgiving
and also-i dont quite believe the gathering of all the animals in the world- how did noel convince the lions who may have lived thousands of miles away to come back to his boat?and fit them all on???
and the other animals that drowned why did they derserve that??

Okay so we cant find out who gives us a thumbs down which sucks by the way. So do you take advantage of it and do it to those you disagree with? Cause after I found out I got thumbs down for good answers and people who clearly just didnt agree with me, I decided to give a thumbs down to people I disagree with.

I know its childish. But yeah why do you give a thumbs down when you do?

"On behalf of all of us in the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, I wish to epress our sincere condolences a the passing of President James E. Faust. Although I am still getting to know people in Utah, I am nonetheless familiar with President Faust and his singular service to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to the people of Utah.

"I ask all Catholics to kindly keep President Faust, his wife, Ruth, his family, and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their prayers, asking our loving God to grant President Faust the fullness of his eternal kingdom.

"May this just and honorable man rest in peace."

-Bishop John C. Wester of the Diocese of Salt Lake City


Religious differences aside, don't we all really wish the best for each of our fellow men and women?

I offer my personal condolences to LDS people everywhere and commend Bishop Wester for his kind interfaith fellowship of the LDS Church.

Im looking to buy a new digital camera (last one was stolen) and I need to stay below $200 (a lot of stuff has to be replaced). The single most important thing is picture quality. I can handle a complicated camera, or one that is a little larger (although fitting in my pocket would be ideal of course). Ive seen a few at best buy from sony, casio, panasonic, nikon etc. and all the stated features are about the same. 7.2mp, 3x optical zoom, iso1000 etc. So which brands, or ideally cameras, are the best in the sub $200 range. And which features are must-have?

I am switching careers and would like to pursue interior design. Since i do not have a lot of drawing skills, would it be beneficial to take an intro to drawing class? Also, for interior designers, what types of work are in your porftolio? Photos of rooms you have designed or drawings of room plans?

Hi I have a 5 year old who will be starting kindergarten in a week and the school has yet to determine whether or not it will come to our house or meet us down the street. We live on a cul-d-sac and there are no other kids on our street that will be riding the bus. The problem is the road we live off of is a dangerous road with hills and blind entrances. Does Illinois have a law that requires the bus to stop at a safer spot. I guess I always thought for the little guys the bus would come and stop in front of their house. The school he will be going to is not large at all, maybe 30 kids per grade which goes up to grade 3, so the amount of kids is not the issue and the bus has room to turn around on our road without backing up.
Thanks in advance for the advice or help, a caring mom for Illinois.
