WED night meeting:

Quick recap:  Monday night track workouts have been changed to Los Alamos sports park located in Murrieta, corner of Los Alamos and Hunter. Meet at the concession stand.

Dr. Brigid Freyene gave an extremely interesting talk about osteoporosis and how to prevent it.  Key points: we  should be getting 1,500 mg of calcium per day, spread out through out the day because one’s body can only absorb 500 mg at a time…so even if you eat 2 gallons of ice cream all at one time   (Is my finger pointing back at me??),  you can only absorb 500mg of calcium  even though the 2  gallons has more than that in it.  In order for the calcium to be properly absorbed, you also need about 1000 iu of vitamin D. One gets vitamin D via sun or food or vitamins. Despite living in this sunny climate, she sees  lots  of folks with vitamin D deficiency.    So make sure you eat it or absorb it or all that calcium you’re gulping, slurping or  swollowing down won’t do you the good it should.

Take heed males too:  Osteoporosis isn’t just no fun for we gals.  It can strike you too, so when the kids scream for  ice cream,  if your figure can afford it, think about screamin’ with them.

Dr Brigid tossed out this incentive ref the Os. disease:   If you are ‘older’, to put it nicely,   and you break a hip because your bone mass was  lacking,  there is a 90% chance you’ll be under ground lookin’ up at the bottom of your gravestone within 1 year.  YIKES!!  Runners tend to be slender and the more slender one is, the more likely one is to have the problem….but weight bearing activities such as running and weight lifting (note:  not biking or swimming) tend to build bone mass.  So what does she see?        Runners with strong hip/leg bone mass but they’ve got whimpy spines and poor upper body bone mass.  So pay attention to   your calcium and vit D. intake and work at weight lifting along with running.

From Doug:

Looking at taking Kayak lessons in San Diego. Talked with Mark about it and he said he and Barb are interested also. Said he can go either 8/2 8/15 or 8/30 Im wondering how many others might be interested…  price is a sweet $35.  for lessons plus use  of the kayak for follow up hours of  fun minus the instructor. E me  back if you are.

HURKEY CREEK :

Kim :  Where do you suppose  my job stress went to??

Doug:  I think you left it in the car but it could’ve fallen out at that big dip you rode through.

Kim, Doug and I have now  made several trips to Hurkey creek.  On todays (31 July) venture,  Doug was able to  piece  together the correct route for the 24 hrs of Adrenalin Race course.  We followed that course well compared to the last few  times when the multitude  of unfamiliar trails kept confusing us.  Doug  enjoyed  the  steep, luge- course – like decent of the trail called the Exfoliator while I crept down behind him at a pace fast  snails could beat. We walked some heavy duty ascents,  flew down some truly delightful descents, and paid our  respects at  a  memorial    made  of  rocks,  GU packs, and photo left in memory of a young and handsome looking mt biker named Darren. Anybody flying along that trail  on the back of a bike  has to feel a certain  kinship  with Darren.  It made me realize how special  it is that those of us who  mt  bike or hike or trail  run get a  chance to enjoy aspects of life that the vast majority of the population never experiences. We live  life to  it’s  fullest.  Good for you, Darren, for being out there  living life to  it’s fullest in the abbreviated  time  that you had on earth.

==================================

FROM AARP  MAGAZINE:

Ways to burn 50 calories:

1.  Vacuum for 10 minutes   (gag but if you gotta do it,  at least it accomplishes something besides clean floors that already looked clean )

2.  Give a friend a massage for 9 minutes.  Not sure how many you burn if you are the receiver but less than 50 for sure.

3.  Spend 20 minutes typing at the computer….When Doug was doing the newsletter, he was spending something like 35 hrs a week trying to put material  into it… this might explain why his metabolism actually went up instead  of down as he got,  uhhhhhhhh….. not younger.

4.  Laughing for 10 to 15 minutes.  Don’t we do that most Pizza nights??  maybe we need more  of them!

5.  8 minutes of Hula Hooping  (if your back doesn’t go out after 5 and prevent you from running for 2 months)

6.  8 minutes of picking up litter..now that’s what I call a win win situation!!

7.  14 minutes of conducting an imaginary orchestra..and here we all thought ‘ringing in the ears’ was just an irritant.  Now you can wave your arms to it and burn calories!

8.  last and definitely least:  Chewing gum for…4.5 hrs
