    Running time

    That is a respectable time for a beginner, so you are already off to a good start. Now all you have to do is simply run more. Also, do some research, there are plenty of books about running (i.e. pace, cadence, form, etc). I'll second Pags as well, join track and cross country you'll get...

    Made selection what's next?

    First, congrats on getting selected! Second, your recruiter should give you a date for OCS and a list of items you need to bring; he will give you all the guidance you need for getting to OCS. As for OCS itself the best advice I can say is don't take anything personally (which is probably a...

    The return of barefoot running....now with Five Fingers!

    Last Summer I got interested in barefoot running (non heel strike running) and picked up my first pair of Nike Frees. I have gradually worked my way up to 30-40 miles a week and have not had any pain in my feet, ankles, or legs. I decided to pick up a pair of Vibram Five Finger Bikila's. I...

    http://www.sfexaminer.com/politics/NASA_s-new-mission_-Building-ties-to-Muslim-world-97817909.html I don't quite understand it. Aren't there already departments of the government better suited for this?
