Sports - 18 July 2007

I've started trying to get into shape again, and I've been having trouble getting my running up to the speeds and distances I used to have.

I'm 20 years old, 5'5'' and 150 lbs. Not overweight, but hardly in shape. In high school, I played soccer, and could run a mile and a half in under 9 min. I've been neglecting my cardio for over 2 years now. The past 6 weeks, I've been trying to run about 3 times a week for 1.5-2 miles, but I've been noticing very little improvement.

The worst part now isn't the fatigue but the breathing. Far before my legs give out, I run out of breath and almost have to force myself to stop. I've never been diagnosed with any lung problems, I dont smoke, and this was Never a problem in the past.

My main questions are: Is this a common occurance for people who are trying to get back into shape? Is there any kind of exercise that will help with my breathing? And how much cardio is too much for someone trying to get back into a competitive form?

I saw one for 200 bucks at a gun show. It had a few scratches the stock and the bluing wasn't 100%. What would the average price be on one of those? I am looking for a less expensive semi-auto, and would one of those be a good gun to get?

I can't think of this ever happening but I wonder what would happen. Would he be out or would another batter finish the at-bat?

I can't believe this guy, not only does he go around passing out herpes like it's breath mints but now it turns out that he not only fights dogs but executes his dogs who lost! It turns out that this oxygen-waster shot, hung, electrocuted or beat to death his dogs when they lost big fights that he had money riding on. Who the hell does this SOB think he is that he can get away with this stuff?What kind of person does something like that? Right now Arthur Blank (Falcons owner) is thinking why the hell did I trade Matt Schaub and keep this this sack of sh*t on my team? Michael Vick is a disgrace not only to the Falcons and the NFL but to professional atheletes everywhere. I hope that the Falcons can terminate his contract without pay and the NFL gives him a lifetime ban so that he can be free engage in activities more appropriate to his character such as slapping around little old ladies or selling drugs to kids. Michale Vick is a waste of skin and deserves to go to jail and do hard time

Even after scoring 10000 runs above by Dravid, Sachin and sourav. Still they are not performing well against the bigger teams like australia, south africa. Especially Dinesh Karthick and Yuvaraj singh playing exceptionally well against south africa under tremendous pressure. Still I believe sachin, sourav and dravid have some fear while playing against best sides in the world. It happens again and again I unable to understand why our player not mentally tough, after playing 200 odds matches.

I think that Yahoo should make an individual team answer board for the teams of Major League Baseball, if not for all teams then at least the very best team with the biggest and most loyal fan base, the New York Yankees of course. I mean, why not point out how truly great our team is by giving them their very own answer board. Maybe they should have a Yankee hater board too, since we are on the subject, since there also seems to be numerous out there who hate our greatness as well.

The responses should be fun to read

I think its probably a good idea. Super Bowls don't tend to be as memorable as some of the championship games and a big part of that might have to do with the fact that it is always played in perfect weather. When you think of some of the most memorable games in history, alot of them were played in the snow. For example, the Patriots/Raiders game from a few years back with the questionable Tuck Rule call or the Ice Bowl where Bart Starr QB-sneaked across the goal line with time running out to beat the Cowboys.

How many memorable Super Bowls have there been over the years? The commercials are usually more interesting than the game. Why not rotate the Super Bowl around the league to be more fair to the cities that make up the NFL? Why not do something to make the Super Bowl more interesting as a game? Great teams should be able to win under any circumstances.

There is some evidence that they can use (dog fighting equipment at his home and a cedible undercover agent, which led to numerous arrests and convictions, seeing Vick at the fights and phone calls from the home revealing that they killed the dogs if they lost) Do you think he is innocent or guilty? Why?
