CO-RUNNER-VIRUS! CHINESE MARATHON RUNNER RACKS UP 31 MILES BY JOGGING AROUND HIS APARTMENT DURING CORONAVIRUS QUARANTINE Co-runner-virus! Chinese marathon runner racks up 31 miles by jogging around his apartment during coronavirus quarantine A Chinese marathon runner trapped in his apartment because of the coronavirus has revealed how keeps fit by running around his tiny apartment. Health therapist and amateur marathon runner Pan Shancu from Hangzhou in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, is using the small space in his flat to keep fit during the quarantine. As part of his routine, he is repeatedly running around two tables and the short length of his hall and balcony - and he has covered 31 miles so far. As China reels from the coronavirus outbreak that has infected thousands and spread to several countries around the globe, citizens are staying indoors as much as possible to avoid contact with other people. According to Pan, who has a marathon best of two hours and 59 minutes, he recently ran 6,250 circuits in one of his rooms. He wrote on social media: 'I have not been outside for many days, but today I could not bear sitting around anymore. 'Let's run laps around the two massage tables in the room then! Yes, one lap is about eight metres (26 feet) and I ran 50 kilometres (31 miles), I did it in 4:48:44. I am sweating all over, feels great!' He explained that he considers his neighbours while exercising, saying that he runs as softly as possible on the floor rather than stomping his feet. A social media user commented: 'I thought it was just me doing this crazy indoor running!' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7975355/Chinese-runner-racks-31-miles-jogging-apartment-coronavirus-quarantine.html

INTEGRATED HEALTH: RUNNING AND JOGGING INJURY PREVENTION There are four periods of time when runners are most vulnerable to injury. Most running and jogging injuries are caused by recurring factors that runners and joggers can often prevent or avoid: What causes running injuries? There are four periods of time when runners are most vulnerable to injury: --During the initial 4 to 6 months of running --Upon returning to running after an injury --When the quantity of running is increased (distance) --When the quality of running is increased (speed) Training errors are the most common source of injury, particularly lack of adequate stretching; rapid changes in mileage; an increase in hill training; interval training (going from slow speeds over long distances to faster over less ground); and insufficient rest between training sessions. Running and Jogging Injuries Runners should also keep in mind potential anatomic abnormalities: --Hip disorders typically manifest themselves as groin pain. Back discomfort that radiates down the leg is cause for referral to a sports medicine specialist. --The patella (kneecap) is a common site of overuse injuries that can benefit from a 20 minute ice massage, a program of stretching and strengthening of the hamstring and quadriceps muscles, and a short course of an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Surgery is rarely indicated. --Ankle laxity can lead to frequent ankle sprains and pain. Beneficial treatment includes muscle strengthening to increase stability, shoe modification to alter gait, and change of a running surface. Foot problems in runners are related to foot. How are running injuries treated? The basic approach to treating running injuries includes rest or modification of activity to allow healing and reduction of inflammation. To avoid overuse injuries, or to allow for a safe return to running after a break, a runner should follow the 10 percent rule (limit the increase in weekly mileage or pace by 10% per week). Thus, if you are running 10 miles per week and want to increase your training regimen, run 11 miles the next week, and 12 miles the week after that. This program should be followed while flexibility, strength, and endurance are restored. When severe pain, swelling, loss of motion, and/or other alterations in running form are present, immediate medical treatment is advised (see reverse for specific injuries). Cross-training can be extremely beneficial to the runner in times of recovery from injury or when starting out a running program. This may involve swimming, aqua jogging, stationary bike, or any other low impact activity that helps build endurance. Start with a higher percentage of low impact activities and then increase your mileage while decreasing the cross-training activity. The goal of rehabilitation is to safely return the runner to the desired level of running. Remember, training errors constitute the most common cause of injuries. A well-planned program prevents injury while benefiting the athlete. Prevention running/jogging injuries: When selecting a running shoe, the athlete should look for a style that will fit comfortable and that will accommodate his or her particular foot anatomy. When a shoe’s mileage exceeds 500–600 miles, it should be replaced. The ideal surface on which to run is flat, smooth, resilient, and reasonably soft. Avoid concrete or rough road surfaces. If possible, use community trails that have been developed specifically for jogging and running. Hills should be avoided at first because of the increased stress placed on the knee and ankle. During warmer, humid weather, increase fluid intake; in cool weather, dress appropriately. It is often helpful to weigh yourself before and after running on a hot, humid day. One pint of water should be consumed for every pound of weight lost. Avoid running during extremely hot and cold temperatures or when the air pollution levels are high. When running at higher altitudes, the runner should gradually acclimate to the lower oxygen levels by slow, steady increases in speed and distance. https://www.postsouth.com/news/20200124/integrated-health-running-and-jogging-injury-prevention

Rilikoko:Cartel? |
Great road layout. Whoever constructed those roads deserves to be President. He had his eyes on the future and built wide roads capable of bearing the weight of heavy duty vehicles. |
The statements by these two Muslims In fact justify the suspicion that the killings have religious connotations and are targeted at Christians. |
G007:I really wonder how many so-called joggers, athletes and exercise freaks know this "First Aid" precaution. Many just hit the road just because others do it and just because they want that dream body. I have always felt that life is first and foremost. And this is the reason I stopped the habit ofhave leaving home to jog at 5am -for security reasons! The streets are dangerous and a little wisdom helps. What is the use of keeping fit if you only end up dead, hospitalised or kidnapped? And as a commonsense rule, I rarely ever jog on the road, except to skirt round an obstacle. Dimgba Igwe, a Director of The Sun newspapers, jogging on the road, was killed in Lagos in 2004 by a hit-and-run driver. For such a reason, I normally use the sidewalks -for safety reasons! The sidewalk breaks my stride, slows my speed, but I am accident-proof and I am SAFE! |
G007:Was there a way out? Could this death have been avoided? We really would appreciate the views and counsel of experienced joggers, therapists, coaches and medical personnel on this. |
G007:That is life. Thank you |
OH, WE LOST A JOGGER LAST MONTH From somewhere in Mowe, Ogun State, we had this sad story. This man, usually busy with office work throughout the week, had a free Saturday, so that morning he went jogging. But by the time he returned, the wife noticed he was restless and breathing uneasily. She quickly called their Assembly Minister, Pastor David, my friend, who lived close by. This one came and prayed for 5 minutes and immediately offered to follow the man to the hospital. The man shook off the suggestion. He said he would lie down for a few minutes before taking his bath and going to the hospital. Pastor David said they should call him so when he would up so he would accompany the man to the hospital. Not long after, Pastor David received a alarming phone call from the wife. He rushed to the house once more. They tried everything possible, but the man never woke up. He had died in his sleep. |
GENDER: Male LOCATION: Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos. TIME: 6.45 am KIT: Shorts and T-Shirt DISTANCE COVERED: To and fro, about 2 miles Maybe because I hit the roads late, 6.45am, I saw people jogging with their dogs. The sun was already up, throwing that lazy light upon the earth. I saw about three joggers running with chained dogs. I reckon they were Alsatians. Actually, only two were running with their owner- joggers, one was strolling in company of other sports-kitted guys. I was wondering who, between the dog and the man, would be the pacesetter. Do dogs get tired running? I have my jog-and-walk-but-no-stopping style. And I flex my arms and twist my waist. On the return trip, I felt this pain on the left side of my chest. Could it be my heart or a strained muscle from the flexing of my arms? Subsequently, I stopped running –one advantage of jogging alone, you have no one to answer to, just yourself. I can't come and kill myself. But I guess it was just a chest muscle strain. I later picked up trotting interspersed with walking. |
Wisedove:Ehm....which Bible version are you citing, Sir? |
LET ME SHARE HERE THE ANALYSIS OF THE ESTEEMED BRITISH THEOLOGIAN, ADAM CLARKE (1762-1832) Most people who read this account wonder why Cain should dread being killed, when it does not appear to them that there were any inhabitants on the earth at that time besides himself and his parents. To correct this mistake, let it be observed that the death of Abel took place in the one hundred and twenty-eighth or one hundred and twenty-ninth year of the world. Now, "supposing Adam and Eve to have had no other sons than Cain and Abel in the year of the world one hundred and twenty-eight, yet as they had daughters married to these sons, their descendants would make a considerable figure on the earth. Supposing them to have been married in the nineteenth year of the world, they might easily have had each eight children, some males and some females, in the twenty-fifth year. In the fiftieth year there might proceed from them in a direct line sixty-four persons; in the seventy-fourth year there would be five hundred and twelve; in the ninety-eighth year, four thousand and ninety-six; in the one hundred and twenty-second they would amount to thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight: if to these we add the other children descended from Cain and Abel, their children, and their children's children, we shall have, in the aforesaid one hundred and twenty-eight years four hundred and twenty-one thousand one hundred and sixty-four men capable of generation, without reckoning the women either old or young, or such as are under the age of seventeen." See Dodd. But this calculation may be disputed, because there is no evidence that the antediluvian patriarchs began to have children before they were sixty-five years of age. Now, supposing that Adam at one hundred and thirty years of age had one hundred and thirty children, which is quite possible, and each of these a child at sixty-five years of age, and one in each successive year, the whole, in the one hundred and thirtieth year of the world, would amount to one thousand two hundred and nineteen persons; a number sufficient to found several villages, and to excite the apprehensions under which Cain appeared at this time to labour. |
majamajic:Right premise, wrong conclusion. Mind you, Adam and Eve were also present at the time of Cain's crime, they could have been angry enough to want to dispense vengeance by themselves. So the place you quoted could have been referring to them, even if there were no other people populating the earth at that time. And God could be warning the parents not to dispense vengeance. On the other hand, God knows the end from the beginning and He knew that there would be other people, brothers and sisters of Cain and Abel (some born by Adam and Eve at the time of Cain's infamy or thereafter) and their own children who would want to deal vengeance against their brother and uncle. And God could as well be warning these siblings, nephews and nieces from dispensing vengeance on the criminal. |

Vrengkat:God's answer to you... Isaiah 55:8 -"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." |
nlPoster:Eh, do I know you from somewhere? I never asked before. This is my first time.... to answer your superfluous question. |
Sorry, I don’t know about you, but I finally found the answer to that cheeky question that mischievous unbelievers ask believers: “Where did Cain (the really first Badoo) get his wife?” Finally, finally, I got the answer just this morning past 5am. Now, don’t LOL! LOL....! Cain did not do-the-do with his Mum, Eve, as the evil-minded always suggested. Flush Sigmund Freud and his Oedipus Complex (don’t bother if you never heard of them) down the drain. In those early days when the world was innocent and the rules on incest and inbreeding were still locked away, Adam and Eve went on to have other children apart from Cain and Abel. And Cain, although ridiculing the idea of being Brother Abel’s keeper (preferring to be his brother’s killer instead), obviously became his sister’s lover. And the Bible did not hide this fact. GENESIS 5:4 -“And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he (Adam, obviously) begat sons and daughters.” There, you have it! Eureka!

A law which would allow men accused of having sex with girls who are under 18 to avoid punishment if they marry their victims is set to be introduced to parliament in Turkey. The controversial so-called “marry-your-rapist” bill, which lawmakers are planning to introduce to Turkish parliament at the end of January, has sparked fury among women’s rights campaigners in the country. Critics argue the legislation, which the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) is urging the government to axe, not only legitimises child marriage and statutory rape but also paves the way for child abuse and sexual exploitation. A similar bill was defeated in Turkey in 2016 after national and global outrage. The legislation would have only pardoned men if they had sex without “force or threat”. “Marry-your-rapist” bills have been seen across the world and are pushed in the name of protecting and safeguarding family “honour”. Suad Abu-Dayyeh, a campaigner who specialises in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan for Equality Now, a non government organisation which aims to promote the rights of women and girls, said it was "shocking" politicians are trying to pass a bill that "provides impunity for perpetrators of child sexual exploitation".

Whether you marry Benita or not, do not marry Susan, let her go and find a man she can respect and serve. You are not the man for her. There is someone to whom she will bow, love and respect, and that person will never be you. I repeat NEVER YOU MARRY SUSAN!!! |
Witchersunited:According to your jaundiced analysis, the Fulani Herdsmen killed ONLY one (1) person in Bayelsa, so why should Southerners be shouting? Perhaps it would not have mattered if that "ONLY" one person killed in Bayelsa was you, no be so? Or if out of the "FEW" people killed in the SouthWest, the number happens to include you and all your family members, would you have had the mouth to talk all this nonsense you are spewing? For crying out loud, Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006 to recover the corpses of two slain Israelis soldiers!!!!! |
