The Trouble With SHOULD – Throwback Thursday

Who’s ready for a holiday weekend? I am looking forward to spending time with some family and friends, enjoying some good food, good times and yes, probably running too!

The Trouble With Should: Too often, we tell ourselves what we *should* be doing when it comes to health and fitness. It sets you up for failure - forget about what you think you should be doing when it comes to exercise or eating and instead do what you can.

For this week’s Throwback Thursday with Brittany, I started thinking about all the pressure we put on ourselves based on what we think we should be doing. Right now, as I struggle with having this postpartum body and trying to regain my fitness and strength, I have to make a concerted effort to ignore everything I read or hear about what my timeline for getting back in shape should be, or what other mamas at the same postpartum stage are doing when it comes to workouts or eating plans. There’s no one right way to approach your own challenges and thinking there is can lead to ultimate frustration and failure.

So I’m focusing on what my body needs to do, not how it needs to look. I’m focusing on building my strength, my endurance, my physical abilities – all the things I need to be the best mama possible. I’m not focusing on what size I am, how my clothes fit, or what I see in the mirror. I’d be lying if I told you those things don’t bother me, but I’m making an effort to not have aesthetics be my focus.

The perfect way to express this is to share a post I wrote last year about the trouble with SHOULD.

Do you feel like there are things you SHOULD be doing when it comes to a healthy lifestyle? Things like, “I should be working out more,” or ” I should be planning my meals,” or “I should be eating more vegetables”. Does that sound a little familiar? All those ‘shoulds’ start to weigh on you after a while – every time you say or think it, it’s like you’re wagging a finger in your face.

It’s time to get rid of SHOULD.

The Trouble With Should: Too often, we tell ourselves what we *should* be doing when it comes to health and fitness. It sets you up for failure - forget about what you think you should be doing when it comes to exercise or eating and instead do what you can.

Something I loved about the A Healthy U conference I attended was the mix of healthy living bloggers, and people with no fitness background who were interested in learning more about fitness and wellness. The people who got up to ask questions of the presenters were usually the people who don’t have backgrounds in personal training, nutrition, or health; who instead are bombarded with the conflicting information they’re receiving from various sources and just want to know what to do to be healthier.

Their questions made me realize that if there’s one way to describe how people feel about the idea of exercise and eating healthy, it’s OVERWHELMED. They are faced with all the “Shoulds” of a healthy lifestyle and feel like it’s all or nothing. A lot of questions began with, “I know I should be…” One of the presenters, Nadia Murdock, mentioned at one point that a lot of people feel like they need to be doing everything right, all at once, in order to get any kind of results from lifestyle changes, which only leads to them stressing out and getting derailed.

The Trouble With Should: Too often, we tell ourselves what we *should* be doing when it comes to health and fitness. It sets you up for failure - forget about what you think you should be doing when it comes to exercise or eating and instead do what you can.

Think about all the advice you’ve heard about living a healthy lifestyle and then imagine if someone tried to take on everything at once. Keep a log of your food intake. Exercise at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Meditate. Strength train. Change the intensity of your cardio. Eat organic. Eat local. Drink more water. Try yoga. Don’t deprive yourself of treats, but everything in moderation! Eat more vegetables. Get more sleep. I mean, it’s all great advice, but anyone would crash and burn if they added all of that at once.

So this is my advice to anyone who feels overwhelmed, or feels like they “should” be doing more:

Any ONE thing you do to make yourself healthier is worth it.

Often, I hear people say that they only have time for one workout a week, so it seems pointless to do it. I get it – as a trainer I agree that one workout a week isn’t going to result in a training effect that you can visibly see. But remember, every healthy choice you make has an acute effect. Even if you workout once a week, the immediate results of that workout on your body include lowered blood pressure, increased vasodilation (when your capillaries widen, speeding oxygen delivery to your muscles), reduction in stress, and reduction in risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Those effects are nothing to sniff at – even though you’re not going to go down a clothing size, or see real strength gains, that one weekly workout is positively affecting your health.

Take the one thing you know you can handle right now and do it to the best of your ability. Make it a habit, make it part of your routine. Once it becomes second nature and you don’t have to even think about scheduling it, or planning for it, that’s when you can pick another goal to add to your lifestyle. Don’t even set a time limit for yourself. If it takes you two months to make one workout a week part of your routine, that’s fine. The alternative – doing as much as you can at once for two weeks and then quitting it all in frustration because it’s so overwhelming – is never going to work. If it takes you a year to incorporate four healthy habits, that’s still four positive actions for your own health and wellbeing you weren’t doing a year ago.

Have you ever tried to do it all at once? How long did you stick with it?

What’s the one habit you’d choose to work on?

Do you get overwhelmed with the “shoulds” of healthy living?

Instagram Secrets – Behind the Scenes of My Instagram Feed

Instagram Secrets: Just like any form of social media, there’s always some sort of editing going on. Whether the photo is staged, one of about 50 outtakes, or there’s a filter applied, there’s almost always some behind the scenes magic going on before it uploads. Check out this blogger’s funny reveal of some of her Instagram photos, with what was *really* happening.

Do you ever look through someone's Instagram feed and marvel not just at how fun their life looks, but how perfectly documented it is? When you're a blogger, it's something you notice immediately. So when Allie and then Christine both shared posts on the real story behind their Instagram photos, I knew I wanted to steal the idea join in the fun. I … [Continue reading]

I'm a fan of quick workouts. The idea that a workout has to be time-consuming to be worthwhile can stop you from exercising when you realize you only have 20 or 30 minutes to spare - right? And now that I'm trying to get into the swing of being a mama of two and fitting in workouts when I can, doing something quick, challenging and efficient is … [Continue reading]

3 Reasons the Scale Doesn’t Help You Lose Weight

If you’ve been struggling with weight loss, or feel like you’re becoming a little obsessed with the number on your scale, then this is a must read. 3 Reasons the Scale DOESN'T Help You Lose Weight explains why weighing yourself as a measure of progress is not the best way to track when you’re losing weight. Plus, easy tips to back away from the scale and become a weight loss success story!

If you've ever tried to lose weight, I would be willing to bet that stepping on the scale was how you measured success. In fact, the very act of losing weight means that number on the scale should be going down...right? Not always. And sometimes that number goes up even when you've done everything right and feel amazing (before you look down at the … [Continue reading]

Three Things That Surprised Me About Postpartum Running

Three Things That Surprised Me About Postpartum Running. Returning to running and trying to regain fitness after having a baby was very different following my second pregnancy. Here are three things that really surprised me - and mamas, the first one will give you hope!

I made my postpartum check up appointment for 5 weeks after giving birth. I remember putting it in my calendar, thinking, "I am so smart, getting a week's head start on being cleared to exercise. I will be dying to run by then!" It turned out to be sort of true. I was dying to run - cool spring weather combined with our street being an often-run … [Continue reading]

Throwback Thursday – What’s Your Fitness Motivation?

Throwback Thursday - What’s Your Motivation? What if, when it comes to fitness, you don't need someone to "motivate" you? What if you were to try to find out why you think you NEED someone to hold your hand? Revisiting this article on fitness motivation versus inspiration and why you need an intrinsic reason to workout.

When was the last time you looked to someone else for fitness motivation? As a personal trainer, I'm often in the position of having clients hoping I will not only provide the workouts and advice, but also the motivation. It's a recipe for failure - without an intrinsic motivation to get fit and strong, there's little chance someone will continue … [Continue reading]

Where I’m At (with a little link love for my friends)

Look what happened yesterday: I cannot believe it's been two months since Baby T came into the world! We totally lucked out with this little man - he is the epitome of an easy baby. He is sleeping through the night. I'm talking from 10pm until about 6:30am, when I wake him to breastfeed. Remember when I said my pregnancy with Tanner was … [Continue reading]

"The Thief" Part II | Why Not Be A Thief?

1 Comment  -

A Guest Post By The Thief

Introduction here. Part I here.

Now you know what my life as a thief was like, why I stole and how great it felt. Part II is about my transition from thief to non-thief. My learning of Judaism which caused me to no longer be a thief did not follow a progressive time line. One event did not lead to the next. I do not know in which order I learned which concepts, but it was a conceptual relationship between the ideas, not a temporal one which caused a shift in my outlook and life choices. In addition, at no point in my life (prior to my change) did I ever regret being a thief or have any intention of learning how to fix that part of my personality.

So this section will instead list the various Jewish stories and laws which gave me a new perspective on things. Read…

My name is Brian Boyle, and I am living proof that miracles happen. A month after I graduated high school in 2004, I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a near fatal car accident with a dump truck. The impact of the crash violently ripped my heart across my chest, shattering my ribs/clavicle/pelvis, collapsing my lungs, causing damage to every single organ, failure of my kidneys and liver, removal of spleen and gallbladder, resulting in the loss of 60% of my blood, severe nerve damage to my left shoulder, and leaving me in a coma where I was on life support for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital Center in Cheverly, MD. I don't have a memory of the accident, or the few days before the day of the accident. The first thing that I remember after the collision, which is still so vivid in my mind even today, is being in this very large white tube.

How I spent my day with Keith Drayer Today i competed & completed my 1st half Ironman Triathlon, called a Toughman. Keith is a 3rd time finisher. Here's how it went for me. Forget the fact that I woke up at 3, arrived at Croton Pointe Park at 430 for a 640 start. Next to childbirth, this was the hardest thing I ever did. But since I did not physically give birth, then today was the hardest thing I ever did, X3. SWIM - 1.2 Miles. This was supposed to be an easy swim in the Hudson, turned out to be the exact opposite. Like going uphill both ways barefoot, the current was cutting across the route both out and back. I felt like I was swimming the way my dog walks, never in a straight line. I think a brick could swim faster than I did today. - Very hilly 56 miles with over 3200 feet of climbing with the biggest climb right after mile 1. Since the route was a double loop, I got to do that climb twice. Overall very manageable with a great route up and down Route 9A from Croton to Peekskill. - Again, ve ...

Exactly one year ago today, I started officially training for my first ironman triathlon. So what to do this year? Well I could try to plan a vacation that doesn't involve an endurance event like a normal person. I guess maybe I can try that next year. For my fortieth birthday this year, I decided to complete the NYC marathon. Let the miserable heat training
I'm FREE! When it comes to health and fitness, and my sport of triathlon I'm a very type A personality. I train with a very structured plan, and heaven forbid that I miss a scheduled workout. Long course triathlons such as Ironman 70.3 and Ironman 140.6 require daily workouts (sometimes 2 or 3). Your life and the life of your family becomes shackled by your training sessions resulting in what I call training bondage. My family and I lived under that bondage for the past three summers, and because of my competitive nature we were headed into another summer of the same as I began training for Ironman 70.3 Muncie. This week I decided to pull the plug on Muncie. This was my decision and came as a welcomed surprise to my family. Don't worry, I love Ironman triathlon and it's challenge, I just need a summer without that level of training. This summer will be spent training and racing with team Burch, and pursuing our new organization Mission 1:37. Next Summer you will see me once again at the start line of Iron ...
Brian is doing the ironman triathlon today in Raliegh NC
Good Morning! Just a friendly reminder if you live near the Southern Wake, Lee, Chatham County or in and around the downtown Raleigh area; please avoid the Jordan Lake, Lake Wheeler Rd area in bound towards Raleigh @ all costs due to The IRONMAN TRIATHLON. If you remember this from last year; traffic will be an absolute nightmare.
Huge congratulations to my brother Andrew for completing an Ironman triathlon - including running up and down Ben Nevis! - in 18 hours 3 minutes and 4 seconds. A 2.4 mile swim in the Firth of Forth, a 112 mile bike ride to Glencoe, topped off by a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles up and down the mountain. What an incredible achievement. I've had to sit down just thinking about it (I stick to running 4k and don't like cold showers). Somehow 'well done' doesn't seem to cover it!
My pales into insignificance compared to what 2 friends are doing today, an ironman Triathlon finishing a top Ben Nevis. Go Darren Checkley & Colin Durrant and to Fran Checkley & crew supporting them.

On behalf of the Members and Officers of the New Market Fire and Rescue are thoughts and prayers go out to. Sgt. Frank Guinn, a firefighter at Station 21, was killed while training for an Ironman Triathlon in New Orleans. Sgt. Guinn was bicycling with his brother-in-law when they were hit by a car on the Chef Menteur Highway. His brother-in-law is in critical condition. "Sgt. Guinn's brothers and sisters in Atlanta Fire Rescue are devastated at this news," said Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran. "He was a dedicated professional and devoted to his family. As a Department, we will wrap our collective arms around his wife Kim and his three beautiful girls. We ask that you keep them and Sgt. Guinn's entire family in your thoughts and prayers."
FOUND RACING BICYCLE I'm riding around in the Big Blue Truck and I find a bike on the side of I-80. It must have fallen off someone's car. So I stop the truck and walk back and pick it up, then strap it to catwalk on my truck. It has a bent rear wheel & no front wheel. Seems pretty light. I could use a bike is what I thought. Anyway, I took it out of the van yesterday, I'm looking it over and I find an Ironman Triathlon sticker on it. Curiosity peeked it's head up, let's look this up on the Web. So here it is: This bicycle is worth about $1500 dollars easy. So if you can repost this and we can find the owner, then the good guys win. Simple right? Let's see how small the world is!

Tri’ing for Scholarships It is that time again, and the Community Church of Lake Berryessa is raising money for college scholarships for local youth. For the 4th year Pastor Bob is challenging the waters and roads of Lake Berryessa in a Half Ironman Triathlon on April 12th at 0700 hours. The church is accepting pledges to go into our scholarship program and be awarded at the end of the school year. Any amount is greatly appreciated and last year four scholarships were given out totaling $1,250. Our local Lake Berryessa youth are selected for the scholarships, and your help is greatly appreciated in helping them pursue their higher education. To donate contact the Church at 252-4488 or pledge sheets may be found at various locations around the Lake. Donations will be collected after the event and, as always, if Pastor Bob does not finish you don’t have to pay. Thanks again! God Bless, Pastor Bob

Dear Inge HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Andrew, who completed his 226km IRONMAN triathlon in 15hrs and 29mins! Thank you so much for your pledge which has contributed to a total of R94 120 raised from agents, staff and managers from around the country. PGP Head Office will be matching these contributions ‘Rand for Rand,’ which means that we have raised R188 240 for the Heart of Gold Trust. To reiterate, the Heart of Gold Trust has been formed with the express purpose of discovering and investing in exceptional, yet undiscovered, young talent in the fields of academia, sport, art or culture. In order to ensure the optimal success of this important PGP endeavour, we have recently formed a strategic partnership with the MAD CHARITY (Make a Difference), experts in the corporate social space, who have successfully changed the lives of many talented young South Africans over the past 10 years Watch this space for exciting details as we go forward together. Once again, well done, Andrew! Regards Niki
Nicholas, Emma and I participated in the north country community recreation center's swimathon today to raise money for the swim team. Watch out Ironman Triathlon, my boy has got your number. If you want HIS number, it is 5...years old. He'll see you soon...
Since Aleister responded first, and he came up with a manageable number, here are my 4, in no great thought-out order. 1. Before I screwed my back up, I thought it would be really awesome to run the Ironman Triathlon when I turned 50. 2. The only thing I actively dislike about working retail is the presumption that speed equals quality. 3. My favorite movies, in no particular order are: Patton, The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Muppet Christmas Carol. 4. The dog barked relentlessly at my bust of Julius Caesar when the office was being repainted so badly that the parents had to put a towel over him. Considering his end in Shakespeare where he pulled the toga over his head, this has always made me wonder if Brutus is still serving out karmic *** in dog form.
I didn't know Chef Gordon Ramsay competed in the Ironman Triathlon. Pretty impressive.
A KA`U TEEN IS LOCKED UP IN KONA after interacting with swimmers practicing for this weekend’s Ironman Triathlon. The 100 lb. monk seal, born six months ago at Kamilo near South Point, was swimming Tuesday off Ali`i Drive in Kailua-Kona among a slew of Ironman triathletes. Apparently looking to play, the monk seal swam circles around swimmers and nipped one man on the knee and another on his side, according to a story in this morning’s West Hawai`i Today. The two incidents follow reports over the last month concerning the monk seal teenager interacting with fishermen, beachgoers and swimmers along the Ka`u, South Kona an Kona Coast, including hauling out on boat ramps and at Kailuea Pier. After biting triathletes, the seal was captured by wildlife biologists who decided to cage him for a short time before releasing him back into the wild, perhaps at a more remote location than Kailua-Kona where more than 2,000 triathletes will compete in the Ironman this Saturday. The youngster, one of less than 200 e ...

REV3 Williamsburg is next, and Nathan will be getting into "Race mode" and attacking that course! Congrats to Ryan Ford who did a 2.4 mile open water swim race and placed 3rd OA with a screaming 59:08 min swim! Ryan is in his taper for Ironman Coeur de' alene in less than 2 weeks! It's also worth noting his 14 year old son placed first OA in the 1.2 mile distance with a 29:08. Way cool! Congrats to Ryan and Nathan!

Join me for my Ironman Oz camp in Port Mac, Australia in September
Eagleman takeaways: (1) Swim times were 5-6 minutes slower generally across the field. A local Cambridgian (?) told me that when it rains like it did that so much water flows into the Choptank way upstream and currents are effected for days afterward. He told me we would be swimming against a strong current on the falling tide. Regardless of that, my SWIM time REALLY sucked..9 min slower than last year. Guess what I'll be working on? (2) The competitive field was really unbelievable. My 55-59 age group was indicative. Last year, 4 athletes did the race in less than 5:10. This year, 15 did. (Even with the slower swim times. How many would have if the swim had been "normal?") W35-39, same story, last year 14, sub-5:10's and this year, 22. I'd love to hear some theories about why the field was so much stronger. Bottom line, I had an aggressive plan which I met, by and large, for transitions, bike and run. In order to be more competitive I have to swim more and get better at swimming in adverse conditions.
Very proud of my Bro-in-Law Marcus! Came 5/177 for his age group and 22/1141 overall in the IronMan Triathlon in Cairns. He also achieved a Personal best of 9:28:58 and has qualified for the world championships in Hawaii! What an achievement! Well done mate!
Run 16 miles, swim 2500 yards, bike 95 miles. I need a weekend to recover from my weekend.

First Thoughts: Unemployment rate dips below 8 percent

Unemployment rate dips below 8%... Will it have an impact?... Is Romney’s plan really a $5 trillion tax cut?... Yesterday was a tale of two different campaigns  --  one with momentum, the other with something to prove… Romney cleans up his “47%” comment, calling it “completely wrong”… Two points on the return of “Moderate Mitt”… Democrats’public angst (comparing Obama’s debate performance to Donald Verrilli’s SCOTUS oral arguments)…  Obama stumps in Virginia and Ohio, while Romney hits Virginia and Florida.

The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd reports on the latest buzz from the campaign trail.

*** Unemployment rate dips below 8% : A month ago, after what was considered a strong Democratic convention and a subpar one for Republicans, the Romney campaign eagerly looked to the monthly jobs report to change the subject. Now the dynamic is reversed: After what was considered Romney's strong debate performance and Obama's subpar one, Democrats were looking to today's job numbers for some good news. Did they get it? The results are pretty good for them: The unemployment rate fell to 7.8% -- the first time it’s been below 8% since Jan. 2009. More from the AP: “The Labor Department says employers added 114,000 jobs in September. The economy also created 86,000 more jobs in July and August than first estimated.”

*** Does it have an impact? We continue to see these monthly jobs numbers have  very  little impact on the public. Yet they have had a bigger impact on the tone of the political coverage in a 24- to 48-hour period, and that helps the Obama campaign change the subject from Wednesday night’s debate. In addition, do not underestimate the psychological impact of the unemployment rate falling BELOW 8%. It’s been an anchor around the president’s leg politically for years, not months. How many times have Republicans said, “He promised unemployment below 8%!” Well, voila... And one thing we learned a few months ago was just how underreported job gains were in 2011. And this report, of course, featured upward revisions.

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney participate in their first debate at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado, October 3, 2012.

***  Is Romney’s plan a $5 trillion cut?  Speaking of numbers, there has been a lot of attention over whether Mitt Romney’s tax plan is a $5 trillion  tax CUT plan. “I'm not in favor of a $5 trillion tax cut. That's not my plan,” Romney said at Wednesday’s debate. “My plan is not to put in place any tax cut that will add to the deficit.” If you take Romney at his word, he’s right -- he’s saying that he will pay for those tax cuts by closing loopholes and other deductions. But here’s the problem for the Romney campaign: We know the math how you get to just about $5 trillion in tax cuts over 10 years. It starts with reducing tax rates across the board by 20%, eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax and erasing the federal estate tax. Together, that comes to $450-$480 billion by 2015. You do that over 10 years (standard budget estimations), and you get about $5 trillion. But what we don’t know is the math of how you offset the nearly $500 billion per year as Romney has pledged, because the Romney campaign has yet to provide any specifics about what he would cut. But we do know that he has ruled out:

- touching preferential rates on capital gains and dividends (Simpson-Bowles does RAISE these rates for their offsets),
- exemptions for Roth IRAs and 401(k)s, and
- the exclusion of capital gains on home sales

 Now the Romney campaign has taken issue with the Tax Policy Center’s analysis because the conclusion it drew is that the only way you offset the $4.5 to $5 trillion over 10 years -- after handcuffing yourself on the pledges above -- is to eliminate deductions that will inevitably touch the middle class. The Romney folks say the Obama campaign and Tax Policy Center have created a straw man. But the problem is that Romney has not responded at all with ANY detail on how they do it. The math isn’t just hard; it becomes nearly impossible (at least politically) once you account for the pledge handcuffs. The Romney campaign is hoping to make it until November without having to provide its own straw man beyond, “That’s not true.” The downside of getting the real second look the campaign wants is that they will need to provide some answers to this $5 trillion question.

***  A tale of two different campaigns : Yesterday, we wrote that the Obama campaign had the opportunity to change the story coming out of the debate -- from the president’s performance to some of the potentially problematic things Romney said -- but it was clear who had the better Thursday. Here’s yesterday’s dispatch from NBC’s Garrett Haake and Alex Moe: “Capitalizing on momentum from Wednesday night's debate, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan whipped up their base here in rural Virginia with a raucous rally complete with fireworks, live music and pointed new attack lines aimed at their Democratic opponents. ‘I got the chance to ask the president questions that people across the country have wanted to ask him, such as why is it that he pushed Obamacare at a time when we had 23 million people out of work?’’ Romney said in Fishersville, VA. As mentioned above, the campaign even featured fireworks at the end (perhaps a tad gloat-ish). But given how long it’s been since the Romney campaign felt this confident, perhaps you can’t blame them.

*** One with momentum, the other with something to prove: Meanwhile, Obama was campaigning like he had something to prove. As NBC’s Kristen Welker reported, “A fired-up President Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of more than 12,000 at a Denver campaign event Thursday and seemed to exude the energy and aggressiveness that many of his supporters felt was missing at last night's presidential debate… Obama argued … that the Mitt Romney who appeared at the debate was not the ‘real Mitt Romney.’ ‘When I got on stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney,’ he said. ‘But it couldn’t have been Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the year, promising $5 trillion dollars in tax cuts that favor the wealthy. The fellow on stage last night didn’t seem to know anything about that.” Yet Obama’s events yesterday (in both Denver and Madison, WI) only raised this question: Where was THAT guy on Wednesday night? And yesterday’s more forceful Obama -- coupled with his campaign’s conference call and new TV ad -- only seemed to amplify what happened at the debate. By the way, it was hard to find an Obama SUPPORTER at the Denver rally who thought the president did a good job at the debate. Even his die-hards weren’t sugar-coating it.

*** Romney cleans up his “47%” comment: Not only did Romney yesterday try to build momentum after his debate; he also did some major clean-up work. He went on FOX’s Hannity program and said his “47%” comment was “completely wrong.” As the Washington Post reports, “Hannity asked Romney how he would have responded had President Obama brought up the comment the GOP candidate made at a fundraiser lastspring saying that he was unconcerned about the 47 percent of people who see themselves as victims entitled to government support. ‘Well, clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you’re going to say something that doesn’t come out right,’ Romney said. ‘In this case, I said something that’s just completely wrong.’” It was a smart time to do it -- better to do this clean-up work with the wind at your back than in damage-control mode. But it does raise the question: How many re-sets can a presidential nominee have? Three weeks ago, you’re standing by what you said, even if it was inartful; now you’re saying it was completely wrong.

*** Two points on “Moderate Mitt”: In fact, there’s plenty of coverage today of how Romney ideologically re-set his campaign at Wednesday night’s debate. National Journal writes that Romney “made his long-anticipated leap to the center.” And David Brooks’ New York Times column is even entitled, “Moderate Mitt Returns!” We had been previewing this move over the past couple of weeks -- with Romney acknowledging he’s the “grandfather of Obamacare” and using his Massachusetts health-care law as an example of his empathy. But here are two points: one, as that National Journal piece notes, Obama let Romney get away with this move to the center at the debate. And two, there has been NO conservative blowback so far to Romney’s move. Many influential conservatives, for now at least, are back to simply wanting to win.

*** Democrats’ public angst: And here’s one final point we want to make about the aftermath from the debate: Democrats reacted to Obama’s performance exactly like they reacted to Solicitor General Verrilli’s oral arguments in the health-care case -- with pronouncements of angst. And there’s a lesson here for Democrats and liberals: While Wednesday’s debate certainly didn’t help, it’s also very possible that it didn’t prove to be fatal, either. But we’ll see what the polls show next week. And trust us: They will be PLENTY of polls for everyone to see. But realistically, the first polls you should trust that will absorb the ENTIRE impact of the debate and post-debate are the runs released no sooner than Tuesday… You want surveys that were actually in the field Sunday and Monday.

*** New Romney ads: The Romney camp is up with three new TV ads – one for Ohio talking about standing up to China and creating 12 million new jobs; one in Nevada featuring ex-UNLV basketball Greg Anthony (who says he voted for Obama in 2008); and one hitting Obama on the deficits and debt.

*** On the trail: Obama campaigns in Fairfax, VA (at George Mason University) at 10:45 am ET and then in Cleveland, OH (at Cleveland State University) at 2:35 pm ET… Romney holds a “coal country” event in Abington, VA at 11:35 am ET and then he heads to a rally in St. Petersburg at 6:15 pm ET.

Adam Goucher to be Celebrity Guest Star at FLR 13 Invitational 13

Adam Goucher and Tim Catalano... Coaches, Bring The Team!

His NCAA running dominance during the 1998 season at the University of Colorado has been forever immortalized in the pages of the famed book Running with the Buffaloes. That year Adam Goucher pulled off quite the trifecta, winning the indoor 3K, the outdoor 5K, and the 10K in cross country.

If you have never read the book, aspire to do so in the next month… because guess who’s coming to dinner?!?! It is my pleasure to announce that American distance running icon Adam Goucher will be our Olympian celebrity guest at this year’s 13th Annual FLRUNNERS.COM INVITATIONAL in Titusville.

Yesterday we made the plans official with Adam and Tim Catalano, the co-authors of the lauded training and inspirational book Running the Edge. The duo is also pretty well known for their weekly podcast series, “Run the Edge,” that they produced last year. They are energetic, fun, talented, and passionate. So it is with a great amount of satisfaction that we are able to bring them in to meet you all next month.

Tim and Adam will be hanging out at the meet, shaking hands, kissing babies, signing autographs, and selling copies of their book (whose second edition is being released September 1st). On Friday night they are going to host a special FREE speaking engagement just for you!

The presentation--which will feature running videos, music, and slides--will pack a real punch and will be both educational and inspirational for you and your runners. This will NOT be at the course this year. Instead we will break after the Friday evening awards, give you a chance to do dinner and check in to the hotel, and then reconvene with those guys around 8:00 or 8:30pm at a location (TBD) close to the hotels. We’ll wrap the session around 9:30 to get the kids to bed if you want to ensure an early curfew! On Saturday the boys will be back hanging out at the meet. Adam will shoot off the gun in the Race of Champions and help out with the awards and other festivities.

These guys are a wealth of knowledge and, among other things, will teach you and your kids about “Closing the Gap” to their goals and the thin line between “Tough and Stupid” training!

About Adam Goucher

If you were somehow living under a rock from 1998-2008 (or just not following the sport nearly close enough!), let me tell you a little bit more about our guest star, 2000 Olympian, Adam Goucher.

After a stellar career, Adam retired from professional running in 2011 after laying down a 1:04:52 half marathon, finally being forced out by knee surgery. He is married to universally loved, two-time Olympian Kara Goucher, who competed in the 5K and 10K in the Beijing Games and recently finished 11th in the marathon in the 2012 London Olympics.

The couple, along with now almost two-year-old son Colt Goucher, is somewhat the Royal Family of distance running in the United States. Kara and Adam met during their time running for the University of Colorado. So to knock out the #1 FAQ question: No, Kara and Colt will not be there!

During his high school career, Adam qualified for three Foot Locker Cross Country Nationals competitions from 1991-1993. He won the national championship his senior year over Meb Keflezighi with a time of 14:41 on the very difficult and hilly course at Balboa Park in San Diego—historically one of the fastest times ever there.

In college he trained under famed Coach Mark Wetmore for the University of Colorado Buffaloes. During his NCAA career he won four individual national championships: two indoor, one outdoor, and one in cross country. The must-read running classic, Running with the Buffaloes by Chris Lear, documents the training and tribulations of Colorado’s 1998 cross country team. Goucher, senior and top runner on the team, plays a leading role in the book.

After graduating from Colorado in 1998, he turned pro in 1999. That year he ran a 3:54.17 for the full mile, a 7:43.31 3000, and a 13:11.25 5K. That cross country season he ran the short course (4K) and the long course (12K) races on consecutive days—and won them both!

The following year, he won the Olympic Trials in the 5,000 meters. Goucher finished in 13th place in the Sydney Games, despite serious back troubles. Injuries plagued much of his career, but despite the problems he was continually ranked one of the foremost Americans throughout the last decade at distances between 1,500 and 10,000 meters.

After a few tough years of battling injuries, he changed coaches and training hubs after the 2004 season. The relocation from Wetmore and Colorado to Alberto Salazar and Oregon proved successful, resulting in new personal bests in 2005. He then won another US Cross Country Short Course (4K) Championship in 2006, and at the World Cross Championships in Japan he finished just eight seconds behind 5K/10K world record holder Kenenisa Burke from Ethiopia. His sixth place there was the highest placing by an American in 20 years. That same year, Goucher ran an 8:12.7 two mile at the Prefontaine Classic—the third fastest ever two mile run by an American. He also ran a 27:59.41 in a 10K in Belgium that season.

Personal Bests

1,500 meters – 3:36.64 (2001)
One Mile – 3:54.17 (1999)
3,000 meters – 7:34.96 (2001)
Two Miles – 8:12.73 (2006)
5,000 Meters – 13:10.00 (2006)
10,000 Meters – 27:59.31 (2008)

Article about old restaurants stirs up memories for visitor

Jay Rayburn recently visited Central Kentucky and found a story I wrote about old restaurants. Here’s his comment:

“Last night my wife found the story you wrote about a year ago on old restaurants in Lexington. What a treat to read it! We lived in Lexington during the 70s and 80s and have eaten at almost all of them. We were especially fond of The Bistro. Sandy and my wife taught together at Lafayette High School. She and Lou hosted a special dinner for us and some of the teachers just before we were married. I was a regular at Saratoga (one of those professors) and you are right–what a bunch of characters. Ted Mims was a friend, too. One night one of those “characters” had had entirely too much to drink. As he was heading to his car, he stumbled. Just then he noticed a police car sitting there watching the people who came out of the restaurant. Instead of getting into his car, he went around the corner, crossed the street and went into Domino’s Pizza where he ordered a large pizza with everything. He told the manager to deliver it and him to his address!

Roger’s was also a favorite. I can’t remember the name of the man who owned it, but he was a professor in the dental school. His son worked in the pro shop in Spring Lake Country Club where I was president. And who didn’t go to Hall’s!

Thank you for the great trip down memory lane. We were in Lexington last week for a function at the Governor’s Mansion and spent lots of time just driving around and looking for some of these places.”

Here’s the story that ran March 30, 2008

   A restaurant manager runs off with the register receipts; another restaurant’s namesake gets arrested; feather boas and polyester suits catch on fire (a bad bananas Foster incident); and a notorious rogue cop gets shot on the steps of an upscale restaurant.
A few legendary stories came to mind when we found a box of old Lexington restaurant menus, but they also brought back fond memories of special occasions at places like The Saratoga, Executive House, and The Coach House.
The old menus — some still in their leatherlike covers, others discolored by age — were located after a request from cookbook author Regina Charboneau of Natchez, Miss., who came to Lexington earlier this month as part of a book tour. She is collecting old and new menus for the Southern Food and Beverage Museum (www.southernfood.org).
“I think menus are a great way to archive food history. Restaurant menus really tell a story and give a time line for the popularity of ingredients and trends,” Charboneau said.
Museum curator Elizabeth Pearce agreed.
“Menus are by their nature ephemeral, as restaurants change them daily or seasonally, printing them on material not meant to last,” she said. “People rarely save menus, unless they are marking a particularly important, celebratory meal. This is unfortunate as menus are often the only physical remains of a restaurant’s past.”
We decided to take a trip down memory lane and ask a few readers about their favorite restaurants of the past. If this sparks a recollection, we’d like to hear from you, too. We plan to write an occasional series about Lexington restaurants. E-mail your story to swthompson@herald-leader.com.
“Hearing the name of a restaurant can have the same effect as a song you hear for the first time in ages. It transports you back in time to a really memorable day or moment, and the details come flooding back for just a few seconds,” said Gayle Deaton of Beattyville.
The Bistro in Chevy Chase
“Restaurants have always been an integral part of the horse scene and wannabes. That’s where the entertainment is,” Donna Potter said.
Potter who owns Catering by Donna, once was a partner in a downtown restaurant called Capers. While attending the University of Kentucky, Potter worked at many of Lexington’s hot spots in the ’70s, including the Bistro at 829 Euclid Avenue in Chevy Chase.
“That was an entertaining place to work,” she said. “There was a lot of money flying around in town in entertainment. People were spending. It wasn’t unusual for me to get $500 in tips a night, and sometimes more, during Keeneland. When the high rollers in the horse business would have a big win — or anyone who had won a lot — they’d be throwing money.”
The little French bistro was the place to see and be seen for about eight years, until owners Sandy Fields and Louis Cease parted ways.
David Larson, who owned The Pampered Chef around the corner on South Ashland Avenue, (it was formerly The In-Between) recalls the Bistro’s glory days. “When I pass by that location today, I laugh and think two things: If only those walls could talk, and if you could somehow harness all the energy expended in that building during those years, you could light Lexington for decades,” he said.
When Cease left, Fields kept the Bistro and hired Georgia Feeney, who had worked at the Bungalow and Le Café Chantant, 137 West Vine Street. Cease went on to open La Brasserie at 210 West Main Street in the old Rick’s Place. In November 1988, Cease opened C’est Si Bon at East Main Street and South Ashland. which has housed many restaurants including The Stirrup Cup, Le Café Français and Furlongs.
After Fields closed the Bistro, she joined a la lucie owner Lucie Slone in a new venture, The Rosebud, in the former site of The Bungalow, 121 North Mill Street.
The Bungalow
The Bungalow was where downtown movers and shakers ate lunch and dinner, and it had a lively bar crowd. “The food was fabulous when John Ferguson and Joe Woosley were there,” Potter said. Her first bartending job was at The Bungalow. “I made a killing there, but I never knew what I had.”
Ferguson went on to open Fleur de lys at 216 East Main Street in the old Plaza Café location in February 1987. It was destroyed by fire a few months later, and he moved into the old Gabby’s Gourmet Grille spot at 127 South Upper Street.
At that same time, French-born Alain Rochelemagne opened Acajou at 265 North Limestone, a building renovated by Tim Mellin and his brother James. When Rochelemagne left Acajou in 1990, he opened Le Café Français Restaurant and Piano Bar at 535 East Main Street. Tim Mellin, Lynda Hoff and Dale Holland turned Acajou site into Atomic Café in 1992, serving a Caribbean menu.
Rogers Restaurant
Rogers Restaurant, founded in 1923, was Lexington’s oldest eatery when it closed in July 2004. The first time Deaton went to Rogers Restaurant was in the ’60’s; she was 17 or 18 and coming home from the Sweet 16 tournament in Louisville with a friend, a recent UK grad who “was practically drooling by the time we got there,” she said.
Deaton had fond memories of being on a double-date at The Cork & Cleaver, 2750 Richmond Road, (now Columbia’s) after attending UK football games in the ’70s.
“There was a fire in the fireplace near our table, and we had really great steaks, with candlelight to eat them by, and their famous mud pie for dessert. The restaurant was romantic and beautiful and a perfect place to end an autumn Saturday,” she said.
The Little Inn
The Little Inn, 1144 Winchester Road, opened in 1930 as a Prohibition-era roadhouse just outside Lexington’s city limits. It was considered the first restaurant between Lexington and the mountains.
In January, 1989, The Little Inn moved uptown to Chevy Chase to the former site of the Bistro, which had closed in fall 1988. It was a popular spot until August 1989, when a sign was hung on the door that read: Closed for vacation. It never reopened. In January, 1990, the original Winchester Road building was razed.
“It was a very special time, date, to go to The Little Inn on a Friday night for one of their delicious steaks,” Mary Jane Davis of Winchester said. “The first time I went, I was dressed to the nines and remember thinking or praying I would use the right utensils. It was crowded and noisy and, yes, dark.”
The Little Inn was known for its prime rib (a large painting of a prime rib was on one side of the building) — as well as baby-beef liver, frog legs and lamb fries.
The Saratoga
The Saratoga, 856 East High Street, was a Chevy Chase landmark and best known for its characters: bookies, college professors, socialites and city hall types.
Totsie Rose opened it in 1953 and named it after the famous Saratoga Race Track in New York. Ted Mims owned it from 1977 to 1989. He bought it from Ed Whitlock, who had bought it from Rose. Rob Ramsey and Joe Reilly, co-owners of Ramsey’s Diner, owned it for a short time.
A Toga menu, served from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Saturday, featured Mrs. McKinney’s snappy beer cheese ($2.95), fried bologna ($2.50), cold meatloaf on white ($4.95) and fried egg sandwich ($2.50). The hot plate special for a Derby weekend was chicken and dumplings for $6.95.
Festival Market
In the late 1980s, Lexington’s restaurant landscape really began to change.
When Lexington Festival Market opened with a flourish in 1986, it brought Jay’s Seafood, Charlie & Barney’s (now Sawyer’s), and Scores Sports & Stakes Restaurant & Bar. Scores, on the top floor of Festival Market, was owned by David L. Gayheart and Richard M. Noonan. Menu items included Joe B’s trout, filets à la Roy Kidd, Sutton’s steak, and steak Claiborne.
In February 1986, former Mayor Jim Amato and friends opened an upscale Italian restaurant at 535 West Second Street, in the renovated West Jefferson Place. The menu featured Italian dishes prepared from recipes collected by Amato and his kitchen manager, Mary Parlanti. Amato’s was sold to Tracy Farmer in 1988; two years later, Amato’s moved from Second Street to Chevy Chase Plaza, and in 1992 it was bought by Geraldo Favaro, who closed the doors in 1993.
Stanley Demos’ Coach House
Demos opened the four-star restaurant in 1969 at 855 South Broadway, and sold it to his daughter, Tootsie Nelson, when he retired to Sarasota, Fla., in 1989. In 1992, Demos’ daughter Tootsie Nelson and her husband Sam sold it to John and Marsha DuPuy. The Nelsons and master chef Tony Seta had opened Tootsie & Tony’s Restaurant and Bar in Hartland Shopping Center in September, 1991.
Tootsie & Tony’s specialties were wood-grilled pizzas, steaks and salmon cooked in a brick oven imported from France. They introduced Lexington to potato rags, thinly grated fried potatoes covered with ranch dressing, cheese, bacon and green onions.
1880 Restaurant
In 1989, Mesut Sakar, who was maitre d’ at Stanley Demos’ Coach House for nine years, opened 1880 Restaurant & Bar at 270 South Limestone. In 1991, Sakar was featured on Bluegrass Crime Stoppers for bilking Lexington banks out of several thousands of dollars.
Allman’s and Hall’s on the River
Johnny Allman opened his first restaurant in the late ’30s on the Kentucky River, and it was there that he used his cousin Joe Allman’s recipes and created a home for beer cheese and fried banana peppers.
The restaurant flooded many times and burned down twice — or maybe three times.
It was Johnny Allman who started a tradition that the Hall family inherited. George and Gertrude Hall started Hall’s on the River in 1965. Hall’s on the River has seen thousands of regular folks drop by as well as former Govs. Martha Layne Collins and John Y. Brown Jr.; Hollywood legends Lily Tomlin. Lee Majors and Raymond Burr; and members of the British royal family.
The Halls’ son, Steve bought the business from his family in 1981 and in 1983 opened Hall’s on Main at North Ashland Avenue and East Main Street in Lexington, where Furlongs is now.
The early chains
As Lexington continued to grow, chain restaurants began to take over the suburbs. In the early ’70s, Lexington was a test market for chain restaurants, and some of the first on the scene were Ireland’s, Steak ’n Ale, Mississippi River Co., T.W. Lee’s, and W.W. Cousins.

Not a stranger

with 10 comments

I think the English language needs a new word: something that describes a person who is less than an acquaintance, but more than a stranger.

It’s the person who’s child likes your dog, so you end up smiling or saying hello every now and again. Or the person who used to work in the same building who you would see in the lift now and again. Or the person who works in a local shop, who you raise your eyebrows to as you pass them on the street.

You know no details about this person – their name, their marital status, their hobbies, whether they’re a big fan of Meat Loaf – but they’re not a total stranger, and your hello or eyebrow-raise won’t be greeted with the face of someone looking at a madman.

Not normally, anyway. There was one woman who worked in a local coffee shop until a year or so ago, and she must’ve lived near me because I’d see her walking down my street fairly regularly. Always pleasant when serving me coffee, she couldn’t hide her contempt if I even attempted a half-hearted smile of recognition on the street. But that seems rare. More often than not, it’s the slightly awkward mutual smile or a quick hello.

It seems to me, that this is a linguistic blind spot when it comes to relationships: family, partner, friend, colleague, acquaintance, [new word], stranger.

  1. When I walk my dog I see a number of people regularly and always smile or wave but never stop to talk. I think of them as lone walkers, dunno why. A new word would be much better.

  2. The only word I’ve had in my head so far is a fairly lame portmanteau: acquainger

  3. I wonder if The Deeper Meaning of Liff has anything on this.

  4. Good point. I’ve not read The Meaning of Liff since I was a teenager, so my memory is hazy; and I’ve not read The Deeper Meaning of Liff at all. So, yes, maybe…

  5. I think you call that someone a nodding acquaintance.

  6. Oh yes. Y’know, I’ve asked about ten people about this, and none of them thought there was a word. I completely forgot about ‘nodding acquiantance’. Thank you.

  7. I like to think of them as potential dates, except the men and old women, of course (unless they’re hot).

    And though I know we don’t shop at the same baker, the EXACT same thing happened to me with the baker girl. I swooned, she swore.

  8. I’d rather see a merge between the words “friendly stranger”: a franger!
    And instead of saying “a friend of mine” you’d say “a frange of mine”.
    Perfect or what!

  9. I was going to suggest a “familiar,” as if you see such a person in 5 years, they will seem familiar, though you probably won’t be able to place their face. But “nodding acquaintance” works well, too.

  10. Mind you, ‘nodding acquaintance’ is a bit of a mouthful, so I suggest abbreviating… to nonce.
