Here is a quick thought for you:
I frequently see the calculation made of how much weight you can lose by drinking cold liquid. For example - you drink 4 liters of water at 0C, which your body must warm to 25C. For water 4liters = 4 kg, so it takes 100 Calories to heat up that water. Do it for a month and you lose one pound. Do it for thirteen years and technically you will disappear.
But for those who don't want to wait 13 years to literally drown their weight sorrows, here's a better idea:
Drink hot water instead. Cold water won't get much colder than 0C, but hot water can go up to 100C, which means it has to be cooled down much more than cold water has to be heated. Technically, your body doesn't have to do any work to cool the water down - it can just sit there and let the water cool itself. But I bet your body actually spends quite a lot of energy cooling itself down if you drink a liter of boiling hot water. Hey, there's only one way to find out (and no, it isn't rational scientific analysis) it's anecdotal evidence! So try it today!

Ran around mostly naked during SCIAC multi-duals. Tough conditions for racing. Guys/girls ran decently, but I think Riverside was a better performance for most. Story was Chris Gurney passing Keith Blumenfeld and Galen Smith in the last few meters to give CMS the victory. Pomona doesn't look to be in the running. For conferences Ramon should return and then it will be no contest.

North field track club. Good run.
Thursday, 10/11/07 (pace run)
Ran with the team in Lacy, 5-4-3-2-1. Got attacked by a maniac later identified at Pat McGrail.
Wednesday, 10/10/07 (steady state)
16 laps at lacy in 45:12 = 5:39/2 laps. The pace was highly erratic, with the slowest mile #2 at 5:57, and the fastest #5 at 5:20. There were a bunch of high school girls in the park, and I ran much faster whenever our paths converged. They were running intervals compared to my straight 45 minutes, but I'm still not getting past by anything with pigtails, and that's that.
Tuesday, 10/9/07 (no run)
Did not run. Since I had a flat yesterday, I walked everywhere I would normally have biked, and put close to 25 miles in on my feet. So I took the day off.
Monday, 10/8/07 (95 minutes)
North Field Track Club run. Stretched it out five minutes longer than last week, but made no attempt to pick up the pace at the end of the run. Connective tissues didn't feel up to the challenge.
10/8/07 - 10/14/07 The Trots (360 minutes, 1 steady state, 1 pace run)

Good job updating.
In other news, you really need to bring that farting log back. Every time I think of Activia Yogurt, or
Almonds, it reminds me of the glorious days when I could log onto ideotrope and read about your farting exploits.
Last we heard, weren't you sitting on the curb eating six or seven or ten Activias?
i've been farting so much i have no hope of logging it all. but you're right. maybe soon...
What is this North Field Track Club and can I join?
I swear, the fields I run around are the North Fields of Campus. Actually, it's like five fields right next to each other but I always run on the three that touch the northern-most border of Campus. So it's the North Field, for real.
no contest? you're assuming he'll get second when he hasn't raced all year? even then it would've been 39-44...
alex ran at UC Irvine and was right with kevin, so yeah i'm assuming he'll get second.
you're right about the team score, though. i was thinking how with alex in the top two oxy wins dual meet scoring handily, but i forgot how much oxy gives away on the fifth man in invitational scoring. i still think they'll win, though, because they tend to run significantly better at conferences than at duals. last year they won duals 27-28, but won conferences 34-53.
it should be a great race to watch
another factor: Twerp is obviously much better than 12th, dude was like in the 50s at nationals...
yeah, twerp probably can run faster than that. i was manning the finish shoot. gurney came across the line completely wasted and couldn't stand on his own. twerp came across the line looking like he had just finished his an easy five miler.
on the other hand, if he moves up five spots most of what he accomplishes is pushing his own teammates down some. but if he gets in front of the pomona guys or competes with oxy's top two(by the way, PP's #1 from riverside did not run, but should be in it for finals) it could make the difference between 1st and 2nd.
