Not to mention, you all are ignoring the obvious evidence that the parka wearer was not overheating.

Interesting, but does not address the specifics of my questions. In fact there are several areas that support my contention. For example, this citation, supports my belief that two miles at my pace was sufficient to drive up internal body core temperature: "During prolonged exercise there is a gradual 'drift' in several cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses. This may include a continuous rise in heart rate, accompanied by a fall in stroke volume and reduction in aortic, pulmonary arterial, and right ventricular end-diastolic pressures. Rowell named these changes 'cardiovascular drift,' and thought of them as appearing as early as after 15 minutes of exercise." (Pages 51-52.)The following is the only comment I could find specific to clothing and exercising in the cold: "In a reasonably fit athlete exercising in cold air, exercise rather than shivering would ordinarily be expected to account for most of the metabolic heat production. Since warm clothing tends to restrict movement, an athlete will improve his or her competitive advantage be wearing the lightest clothing that will maintain heat balance with the expected rate of heat production." (Page 49.)Nice try though.Igy

Try reading the whole thing.

Exercise,

Most of the article concerns issues to exercising in the heat. I skipped those sections. The sections related to cold, refer to more inadequate heat conservation, not related to question at hand. In fact I quoted specific sections that support my view: 1) the distance was long enough to raise internal body core temperatures, and 2) over dressing is a hindrance to performance.

You point me to the sections that support your point, because I saw none.

I'm not enabling your laziness. The info is there.

I am not going to enable your poor trolling attemp.

My experience TRUMPS your interesting but irrelevant article.

You're experience "running" 15 minutes for 2-miles? I must admit I've never done that.

What is your 2 mile best?

Wall Street was poised for another positive session on Tuesday, with the Dow average set to inch closer to the psychologically important 20,000 mark in choppy preholiday trade.

There are no major economic news on tap, so earnings from Darden Restaurants Inc., BlackBerry Ltd. and General Mills Inc. are among key events premarket.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 19 points, or 0.1%, to 19,856, indicating a second straight session of gains. The blue-chip benchmark on Monday finished 0.2% higher at 19,883.06, struggling to break through the closely watched 20,000 level.

"Wall Street futures suggest that the positive sentiment is still in play and the current opening forecasts mean that a push out to the 20,000 level for the Dow before the year end remains a distinct possibility," said Remo Fritschi, institutional sales manager at ADS Securities, in a note.

Futures for the S&P 500 index put on 2.40 points, or 0.1%, to 2,262.50, while those for the Nasdaq-100 index added 3.25 points, or 0.1%, to 4,942.

Both the S&P and Nasdaq Composite ended Monday's session higher, with investors largely shaking off attacks in Berlin and Ankara. In Berlin, 12 people were killed after a truck plowed into crowds at a Christmas market, while in Ankara, an off-duty policeman shot dead the Russian envoy to Turkey. Additionally in Zurich, three people were injured after a shooting at an Islamic center.

"The market response to each new terror event is less and less pronounced. Over the years, investors have learned to live with horror on a far too regular basis," said Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, in a note.

The Dow is about to drop below 13,000 any day now.

New intraday high.

Those last two posts really sum up this thread.

I doubt that. Yet the odds that it will drop below 13,000 sometime in the next few years are quite real.

HI, K5/Igy! How do you feel about your boy Trump now that he has taken a huge dump on Palestine. You sure fell for it big time.
