I've been doing half an hour on the elliptical every other day to try to increase my cardiovascular strength and possibly not die by age 30.
However, I'm curious if this is the most effective way (sans jogging) to quickly increase my cardiovascular strength and endurance. Would a rowing machine be better? Sprinting? Anyone have any ideas?
I hate treadmills. Gah. One of the things I hate most is the feeling that I am not doing something useful. Treadmills are like that incarnate. Yeah, it's good for me, but it feels like the highest order of useless uses of my time.
In order to get my running done, I run to places. That way, I can justify it to myself by having a short-term goal to fulfill as well. Running in one place for too long drives me absolutely bonkers.
I'm gonna bring the iPad and read through the GURPS manual again. I need to read through it in preparation for a game I want to run, so I might as well make running in place a bit more useful.

I hate treadmills as well. I just never feel like I can set a comfortable pace on one... Either it's too fast or too slow for me and my stride just never feels natural. The alternative machines probably work better for me -- either that or just running on the track.
How common are braces among the 18+ crowd? If I see braces I see jailbait.
With that said I am active on several online dating sites and most girls under 30 look too young to me. I know they are adults but my brain says kid.
I also encounter a lot of older woman who claim to be 40 but look a lot older. I don't know why they lie about that cause when I see an old body with a young age I think "hard life" but if they showed their real age I would not.
My computer is almost fully back up to speed after installing Windows 7. The only thing I'm missing are my old Firefox bookmarks, which I neglected to export into a separate file before the install. A small loss, emotional damage at best. That said, anyone know where the program itself keeps the bookmarks?
Otherwise, get the already activated pirate copy from Pirate Bay. Just make sure you run it in a VM, because you can't trust that shit to be virus-free and such.
Should I get this 96 Lexus LS400? Its $3K has 200K miles on it and a flat tire.
200k miles means it probably doesn't have much left. I personally would only pay hundreds for such a car, not thousands. Maybe one thousand at most if it definitely worked and had all working parts like air conditioning and any other Lexus luxury features. Heated seats?

Depends on the condition. Have a mechanic check it out and tell you their opinion. If you do not want to do that at least get someone who knows a good deal about cars to look at it before buying. That could be an okay price if the car is in great condition.

Do endurance running at your optimal heart rate. If you are reasonably fit, do intervals once or twice a week instead.
I was starting from pretty unfit, so I'm gonna try to not make my heart explode either.

In before "bad backup, you're fucked".
