Fantastic, Henry!

You might want to look at this XC race up in the Portland area. I am sure you still have some connections up there.

I think that is a very good idea;however, next month in October,

I should look two races in the low altitude area.5ks,10ks/xc race all would fine with me.

If you see or if your eyes and ears got something please let me know. I'm running or looking races like a new kid in town.

Years has gone by and I don't know what is out there in terms of racing now days.

Henry:

I decided to fast for a week, along with you. You're leadership has inspired me. I am 52 years old and have gained 30 lbs over the past 5 years as knee surgeries, injuries and a lack of discipline have put me at the highest weight of my life.

I am in my 4th day of fasting and am actually starting to feel better. (the 1st 3 days were tough, especially, mentally). I have dropped 8 lbs., already. I am drinking alot of water and diluted, low-cal Gatorade, along with alot of green tea, during the day. (like you).

Keep up the good work. If you can keep progressing 1 day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time, cab stay away from the 'typical older runner injuries', (knees is number 1). I predict great things for you next summer when you weigh 30 lbs. less and are able to train at a faster level.

Keep your spirits up!

To me too...

The 117 day of training phaese II.

I feel like phase III is coming. I could tell this morning when,I was running on tempos on Tramway route heading north and back the same road I used to run on in June.

The fourth day of fasting,I'm getting used to now.I ran for 87 minutes.I feel lighter.

No heavy body,knees and legs.I think the weights puts pressure on the knees,that is why I don't have that problem now.I run easy,my long strides about to appear soon.

I just feel only weakness.I understand that it is due to no food in the stomatch.That is okay,I will used body fat for food.

Henry

Mr. Rono

I, too, decided to fast with you. I am on day 3, which was much easier than days 1 and 2. I am jogging 3 miles in conjunction with the fasting. I am also drinking green tea for energy; taking a multiple vitimin and drinking a low-calorie sport drink. I can feel my body healing itself. I hope to keep it up for at least 7 days, then slowly introduce vegetables, fruits and other healthy foods.

To another guy....

On my second run and the sun hitting on top of my face.My knees are so weak, no food in the stomatch.It was good climbing the copper hill for 30 minutes.The breathing is great alot of white mucuses coming off the lungs.

cleaning up those old lungs with gatorades. Here is the the rhythm of high knees and the arm form of drive,Oh! it looks great!I can see myself and it is 28 years ago.

My stable weights is 185lbs on the four day of fasting.

I like the body feelings and the memory is 28 years ago.

I'm now addicted to training and fasting.What else do I need only loose weight right!Phaes III is coming!!!!!!

Henry:

I knew you'd "get it" again (super willpower)!

Henry,

You should reach out to some of the local HS runners possibly from Academy, La Cueva or Eldoroado etc.

They have some excellent talent and can be very inspirational at the grass roots level. They run because they like to and sometimes, just like us, they need an inspirational lift as to why...

Are you kidding me I know them,I love running with these kids,they are lovely and joyable,the stretching alone puts you in great shape.I miss it.I want to be with them next week.Last time was with Eldorado and I like their stretching.

I should also try La Cueva and Academy too.

The next generation in the USA will the best than before I can see their spirit. Things are changing in American running scene for good.

I saw one of the Eldorado kid the other day, when they were running a long Tramway and saw something I never saw before and say they have it now in the heart.Perhaps could be one of the kid who is heading to world xc in Mombasa,Kenya next March 2007.

I talked with his brother last week and he was fasting in Nairobi,Kenya in the season of Ramadan

But Mbarak Hussein is running tomorrow in Twin Cities marathon,he has to have food in his stomatch no kidding,I wonder at what season he his,because there is a season for that and it is now or last week.

How far out from your races do you do the fast?? I am interested but am afraid I might detract from race performance.

ATTENTION: To all of you who are fasting, along with Henry, for the 1st time, there are a few things you should know.

when ending the fast, do NOT go from fasting for a week to eating 'normal' all of a sudden or go out and eat a cheeseburger, fries and soda. It will shock your system in a negative way.

You will also gain 'rebound weight' if you go off your fast and eat too much. You will be heavier than you were before the fast, within 2 weeks, if you over do it.

start slowly, with soup, protein shakes, fruits and vegetables, chicken, etc...but in small quanities.

eating small amounts, 4-5 times per day is better.

I am 56 and still running. I was never very good in high school or college, but I love the sport and love the feel when the old joints and bones finally loosen up and the running flows for a while. I understand the challenges you are working through and I admire your effort and the way you decribe it to all of us. You inspire me. Please keep telling us how your progress goes. Perhaps we will see you at the Carlsbad 5k in April of next year. It is the biggest road 5k for masters runners.

Yes: The Carlsbad 5k, on a fast course would be a great race for Henry to point for next year!

The 119 day of training phase II.This morning I had massues with my coach,he tells me the body is getting smaller.He tells me.No one can die in fasting even if you stay without food for seven day.

After massues I warm-up for 31min +60mhc + 33mcd=124 minutes.My body is back looking like a runner,but I'm going through alot of feelings stomatch crawls or noises in the stomatch and headaches only those two sides.

Perhaps weak quads, running and breathing slowly.

I look like scare,slow thinking and sensitive in everything I encounter on my daily life now.That is why I prepare staying indoors with 185lbs.

I get sleepy sometimes and toss off to bed for one hour and get up strong drink Gatorade.Like now reading and sitting by the computer reading what you guys talking about fasting and future races.

I'm sure the 5ks will be a piece of cage, onces I'm 145lbs.I notice that my rhythm of running will get back where it was I saw it and feel it today.My problem was the fatty in the lungs and the whole body.The Gatorade drinks will strip all the fatty acid down straight to the toilet.

What do you think?

Henry

how does one use the bathroom while fasting?

i would assume all of you fasters are having some trouble.
