Err .. not to be a bearer of dark news, but it has seemed to me that
all is not well in your corner of the world for more like a week or two.
Probably not too related, but can't hurt: You never did write about
your treadmill question. Post it or email it. I'll see it sooner or
later either way and answer.
While such things are in my mind, one of my running friends had a lot
of fun (as did I) at the Stupid Little 5k I mentioned recently. The
good mood flowed through the rest of her week. A good day running/walking/
whatever can indeed provide a lift. For me it was today's trail run.
My first time on a certain trail in about 6 months. It's an hour long
trail, with a notable set of hills about half to 2/3rds of the way in.
Always a lift to reach the top of Holly Hill. (Part of the lift
is that I'm finally _able_ to run that route again. A few weeks ago
I couldn't have finished it.)

damndest not to strike out at anyone for it. Yeah, the treadmill question...
I did ask my son and he gave me an answer, since he's into science and
physics and stuff, but i'm still confused.
If i'm using my treadmill expending X amount of energy, then i set it for an
"incline" even tho the motor and stuff is set the same, why am i getting more
of a workout? Isn't it just a different angle? Now, i know in REAL
walking/running, a hill would mean more gravity resistence. But my body mass
(which feels massive as HELL lately) is in one stationery place, and the set
resistence would be the same. So, why is the incline more of a workout, and
even feel like more???

Maybe because you're at an "angle" compared to normal walking and so your
muscles are hitting the treadmill at different points in their range of
stretchiness, and so it "feels" like you're walking harder. And raising your
legs ever so slightly to counter the pull of gravity might add a tweek to it.
inky
>I think it has something to do with resistance..........but I am not sure if
>it was the French resistance .........
Well, my kid said that if the machine were turned off, and i stood still and
it were free-rolling, i would roll backwards on the incline, but not so on the
flat. So i would be working against at least a little gravity. Then he said
if i were climbing a rope that kept on giving down more rope, it would be
easier than climbing a stationery rope and having to move body mass upwards.
Gravity... Still hard to comprehend for a dumb blonde.

Well, I don't have a treadmill, so I don't know for sure, but I'm gonna
assume that "incline" actually physically inclines the angle of the track,
right? So, you lift up your back foot from a lower point and plant it down
at a point 2 or 3 inches higher (forget forward for now), and in the
process, you have to lift your ENTIRE BODY MASS (and it is massive, isn't
it?) 2 or 3 inches. That may not seem like a big deal (stepping up a little
3 inch curb doesn't take much out of you), except your doing it
probably--what--100 times a minute or more? That's 25 feet UP per minute.
Imagine scaling a 25 ft ladder in a minute (that's about 2 stories). That
requires a good amount of effort. So, that's the amount of energy you're
expending *in addition to* the amount of energy you would expend simply
running on the flat. That little 2 or 3 inches may not seem like hardly
anything, but at a running pace they add up quickly.

Dr. Kathy has the right of it. On the incline you have to raise your
body more to make that next footfall, and it takes energy to do that.
Different note: Running/walking on a treadmill is not intrinsically
different (in terms of energy and mechanics) than doing the same outdoors.
As long as you don't do things like hold on to the rails or let the
tread carry your feet back, both of which are bad ideas anyhow, it's
the same basic exercise. Set it for 1.5-2% incline (to make up for
wind resistance and the like) and the treadmill is much the same as
the road.
I use the treadmill as a mental image for myself and for the
beginning runners group. When you're running along in good form
outdoors, the pavement starts to feel like a treadmill -- the ground
is nicely unrolling underneath you as you comfortably* go through your
nice efficient stride. (This one, unfortunately, applies only to
running. In my experience, walking doesn't have quite the same
fluidity. Maybe I don't have as good form in walking.)
*The beginners balked a lot at my use of words like 'comfort' as
applied to running when they started. By the end of the program,
they agreed. It does take a few weeks, but, really, running is
a natural thing. It should, ultimately, be comfortable.

Yeah, wind resistance... That's something i kinda miss when i'm indoors, becuz
it dries up the sweat. I sweat like a pig on the treadmill, more so than
walking/jogging outside.

yes, definitely!! Sometimes (like yesterday) i find myself full of this weird
feeling, it's like an "anger" with no object. I don't want to CREATE an
object of it, becuz i think it goes back to some childhood stuff i can't do
anything about (get even!) anyway. So it's just burning inside. I even get
self-destructive feelings at times. Some really vigorous exercise and loud
driving-music seems to work some of it out (that and crying). A good
side-effect is a nice flat stomach and (hopefully, eventually) a firm behind!
Not to mention a really strong heart and lungs.

It definitely helps. You do need a baseline of exercise to

Yeah, i used to sell my handpainted clothing, even had a business license and
everything.. Also designed art for rubber stamp companies (thus, the nick,
"Inky"). And made stuffed animals for sale. And hauntingly realistic b&w
portraits (pencil, charcoal)...I got offered a job in the children's
department at a JC Penny store, but they wanted me to paint while customers
watched, and i said i just couldn't do that.
Somehow i ran up with a "block" for some reason, about the time of divorce
and cancer, and can't seem to get my creativity back. I still kept all my
supplies.. I hope someday i'll get back my lost passion for art. I'm
interested in computer art (photoshop and stuff) but i just can't get
motivated. I used to make hand-painted Christmas cards every year up until
the divorce. Did the bulletin boards for the schools, designed art for the
church preschool. Even trick-or-treaters were treated to a hand-stamped
bookmark along with their candy.
I don't know why i can't make myself create anymore.
I get this sad feeling like somebody died. I hope that someday i can bring
that part of myself back to life.

You must draw the thing that died and draw your hopes as well. Pictures are so much more powerful then
words.
Can you scan some of your pictures and have them on the internet?
I would like you send some to my e-mail but not more then 1 mb per day.

then divorced 2 years ago. I lost my creativity...and my passion for art -
but i just assumed it was because, for a while, I lost the passion for life
also. I realise I had the passion for my art because I didn't have it in my
marriage..it was like an escape - something outside my situation to focus
on...
Now it's back..........and i'm in a totally different space now...my art is
different..my thoughts are different - and I'm somehow more at peace with
myself.
By the way...............I had my *date* last night :) It was really
gorgeous.....he was coming here for dinner and I made veal parmesan....with
backed pumpkin in spices, potato bake and steamed broccoli....and also made
a salad with various lettuces, tomato, fetta cheese and calamata
olives.....he brought a beautiful Amberley Chenin blanc and we sat across
from each other and ate...drank....and talked.....
We then went to the lounge and we had coffee and chocolates....and talked
some more....we were supposed to be going to an Irish club to dance but we
ended up just talking - about everything - until midnight! It went really
quickly. He told me about his wife - who died at 31 from cancer - and his
subsequent divorce from a marriage (she was his neighbour and that
relationship started 4 months after his wife died) that was very much a
rebound from his wife, whom he loved very passionately.. He was 20 and she
was 18 - when they married and they had two children who are now 21 and 17.
He now also has a daughter from the second marriage, which ended two years
ago, who is five. She is so gorgeous :)
When he left he gave me a warm embrace and kissed me on the lips....briefly,
before I pulled away...........and then we said goodnight..
This morning he sent me a beautiful email saying how much he loved the
evening..and the conversation and wanted to take me out to dinner this
weekend :)
It was a perfect *first date* and not confronting......but was flirtateous a
nd anticipating.....we both know......there *could* be more.........
But I need to take it slowly and he's appreciating that. So..we'll see what
transpires as we go on :)
Just thought i'd tell you how it went! :)

In general, yes (with qualifications). For you specifically, I can't
say and it would be a good thing to discuss it with a doctor.
(A doctor who believes in exercise, which surprisingly many of
them don't.)
The major qualification (beyond doctor discussion) is, as always,
whether you're running in good form. A couple of the beginners had
pre-existing back problems, but ones which their doctors said was ok
to try running with. While it is a generally important and good thing
to do, it is imperative for folks with back problems to run in good
upright posture. One mental visual is that there's a hook in your
head attached to a rope overhead. It pulls you up slightly -- rather
than permitting you to curl forward. (Most people, the longer they
run, the more they curl forward.) Another help is to work on looking
more than 10 feet down the path.
For the knees, a second major thing is to be absolutely sure that you're
landing with your foot squarely under your center of mass. Try standing
on one foot with your knee slightly bent and your free heel lifted up
at least several inches (as it would be in running -- back behind your
standing leg, rather than lifting your free knee primarily). This
is how you want to be landing. One thing to do outside of your runs
is to adopt this position and see how long you can hold it. When I
first tried, it was only a couple of seconds -- which is a pretty good
sign that I probably wasn't landing stably in the right position while
running. Legs were happier as I got past holding the position for
10 seconds.
Unfortunately, the hills around you don't help with working on
form. (It's hard enough to do on the level, but the hills make it
mentally difficult to keep the focus on your form.) If you can find
a track or treadmill to work on running form routinely if not always,
that will help a lot. It can be done on the hills too (our route was
hilly), so don't despair.
Of course it's a lot easier to talk about running form if someone
can see you run. There will be running clubs near you, and I'm sure
they'll be glad to work with you on running form.
Bill in Colorado
before, though. Wonder where that saying comes from, and what it really
means. It seems to me I've seen some cases where the line isn't so fine -
it's more like a continental divide. So how do you explain that paradox?

Yes, take it slowly if you don't want to crash. I had something in the beginning

i do have a few photoshop things, and a whole lot of photos of stuff that's
not scanned. One day i'll try to organize it all and put something together.
It's such a mish-mash right now, being that i dabbled in so many different
things, but i did try to photograph a lot of it before it sold. I'll let you
know if i ever get something put together.
Most of the stuff, except what i did during my dark-depression times, was
child-oriented art - like cutesy animals and balloons... and even monkeys... I

You know what's really eerie about that? When i was really ill and had
anorexia, i made a "picture" of the illness. It was all very dark colors,
with a hint of a body in the center, sitting on the floor with arms folded on
knees and head down in arms, cradled in a huge dark evil-looking hand. I
recently came across a site for eating disorders where people submitted
artwork, and someone else had done nearly the exact same body position, same
dark colors, only instead of one big hand there were all these little dark
hands reaching inward towards the body. Really strange to have 2 people
interpret the same illness with almost identical artwork.

>What age did your annorexia onset Inky?
40, but it came with hysterectomy and resulting digestive disorders and
depression. I wasn't trying to be skeleton-skinny, i just couldn't eat, and
if i did it went right thru.
My mom is severly anorexic in here 70's, becuz she can't get any nourishment
from food. It's scary when it happens.

I'm glad you liked it. I just love vivid colors. They're very important to
me. :-)

years older...and well, I guess it all spiralled from there.....

No, that's ok. It often has to do with needing some
control over one's life. Sometimes life is so OUT of control that
the only thing we CAN control is what we eat.
Oh, and my ex was 8 years (almost 9?) older than i was. It was like a whole
generation, though, at times.

Yeah, age differences don't matter much at certain points... but at others,
they make a big difference...
