<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></h2>

If too little water is taken in, the liver takes over some kidney functions, and cannot do the job of breaking down stored body fat. The liver can become chronically overworked if fluid levels are below normal over an extended period.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that exercising in the A.M. helps you sleep better, revs up your metabolism and boosts brain function? It&#8217;s also a great way to make fitness a priority since you start off your day with a sweat session—and don&#8217;t have to worry about work/kids/family derailing your workout plans. Yet if you don&#8217;t consider yourself a &#8220;morning&#8221; person, despite your best efforts, you may find yourself hitting the snooze button instead of the pavement. To help motivate you, here are some morning energy tips:</p>
<p><strong>Go To Sleep Early: </strong>It’s simply if you don’t recharge your body you’ll burnout</p>
<p><strong>Light:</strong> Light can really affect the way your body adjusts to an early morning wake-up call.  It allows the brain to recognize it is time to get up.</p>
<p><strong>Water:</strong> A slap of cold water on the face will refresh your body alertness</p>
<p><strong>Dance Hall Reggae:</strong> Pump in some <a href="http://hypelife.tv/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/busy_loaded1.jpg">Busy Signal</a> reggae and your heart rate set for action</p>
<p><strong>Lay your Clothes out the Night Before: </strong>lay all my gear out the night before, clothes, socks, sneakers, water bottle, iPod and everything else.</p>
<p>Here I point out all natural and healthy methods for waking up in the morning. I do not recommend cola, coffe or energy drinks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Half marathon training will be challenging, but should be fun and enjoyable. Train right and enjoy lots of fun on the big day! Are you a beginning runner? Already a runner? Haven’t run in a long time? Either way, you can finish a half marathon. Learning some of the basics will help you get started.</p>
<p><strong>Motivation:</strong>  </p>
<p>Building mental stamina is essential. It’s one thing to be motivated to begin training. It’s another to stay motivated every day. Staying motivated and developing the proper mindset is key to enjoying training and crossing the finish line with a smile on your face.</p>
<p> <strong>Goals:</strong></p>
<p>Finish time goals, weight loss goals, “just finish” goals…we all have a reason(s) for wanting to run a half marathon. If your only goal is to lose weight, good luck. You’re likely to quit. You are likely to quit just like so many people who join health clubs each year for the same reason only to stop going after seeing little results in little time. You <em>must</em> have the right goals and reasons for running in order to be successful.</p>
<p><strong>Wear the right gear:</strong></p>
<p>Treat your feet to a good pair of running shoes (or three!). Running shoes will be the most important piece of gear. Shoes are designed to fit feet with different arches, pronation, and more. Visit a local specialty running store to find the best shoes for your feet.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.marathonrookie.com/nutrition.html">Nutrition:</a></strong></p>
<p>Carbohydrates provide the fuel runners need. During half marathon training, 65% of your total calories should come from carbohydrates, particularly complex carbohydrates. 10% should come from protein (you need 0.5 to .07 grams per pound of your body weight each day). 20-25% of your total calories should come from unsaturated fats. Be sure to get the nutrition you need to keep you strong and allow for adequate recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Recovery:</strong></p>
<p>Obviously, it is important to run for half marathon training, but recovery is equally important. You should not run every day. Your body needs to rest between runs so it can recover from one run to the next, getting stronger between each run. Nutrition and eating the right foods at the right time also play a vital role in recovery. Take recovery days equally as serious as your running days.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.marathonrookie.com/hydration.html">Hydration:</a></strong></p>
<p>On runs of an hour or more, carry fluids with you and consume 6-8 oz. every 20 minutes. During pre-training and marathon training, weigh yourself before and after each run and get your body weight back to the weight it was before the run by drinking water or sports drink within the first hours after the run.</p>
<p><a title="RoadID" href="http://www.roadid.com/?referrer=3003"></a><strong><a href="http://www.marathonrookie.com/injury-prevention.html">Avoiding Injury:</a></strong></p>
<p>Use your non-running days to rest and recover. Ice down any soreness, particularly in knees or shins (most common) four times per day for 15-20 minutes. Injuries often sneak up without warning. Doing all the right things right will minimize your chances of injury.</p>
<p><strong>Pre-Training:</strong></p>
<p>Before you begin half marathon training, you should be able to run for at least 30 minutes without stopping. Distance is not important right now. You just need to get your body used to running.</p>
<p>Combinations of run/walks are great to use during pre-training because they ease your body into the exercise and minimizes the chance of experiencing a running injury.</p>
<p><strong>Training:</strong></p>
<p>Your mileage should gradually increase each week. As a general rule, total weekly mileage should not increase by more than 10% from week-to-week. Completing a run of 10-12 miles about three weeks before the race will be enough to prepare you for the finish. You should then taper off in the final weeks leading up to the half marathon to allow your body to recover from training and so you will be strong on the big day.</p>
<p>Following is a recommended beginner half marathon training schedule. This schedule assumes you have been running or walking for at least four weeks and can run/walking 30 minutes without stopping before beginning the schedule.</p>
<p><a href="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Marathon-Schedule.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1778" title="Marathon Schedule" src="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Marathon-Schedule.jpg" alt="" width="672" height="504" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Half Marathon Day:</strong></p>
<p>Tapering in the final weeks before the half marathon will help your body recover from half marathon training and be strong for your big day. You will also want to carbo-load the week leading up to the race. Given the atmosphere at most marathons, you will likely feel full of adrenaline after leaving the starting line. Remember though, distance running is about endurance and pace is critical. Maintain pace to save everything you have left for your <strong>big finish!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://twandcompany.com/about.php">TW &amp; Company</a> CEO Tanya Walker introduce me to the best Raw Kale Salad I ever had and now I feel convicted to share it with the whole world. Kale is considered a super food. Kale is rich in vitamins B, D, E, iron, protein, zinc and fiber. This combination mean you can eat Kale and get all the nutrition your body needs to be strong, fit, lean and healthy.  <a href="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_0916.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1858" title="DSC_0916" src="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/DSC_0916-215x300.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="300" /></a><a href="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kale-tour.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Here is a great Kale salad recipe:</p>
<p><strong>Simple Raw Kale Salad</strong></p>
<p>Ingredients (use <a href="http://vegweb.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=a30c8b15aff759fd2e3041f75004a440&amp;topic=15403.0">vegan versions</a>):</p>
<p>    1 lb kale (or collard greens)<br />
    1 tablespoon olive oil<br />
    2 cloves garlic, minced purple onions. Adjust to taste.<br />
    1/2 teaspoon salt</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>This recipe is from Erin at the Southern Dharma Retreat Center</p>
<p>Remove kale stems and tear greens into smallish pieces.  Pour olive oil on top and &#8220;massage&#8221; gently for several minutes, getting the greens good and soft.  THIS STEP IS CRITICAL!!  Add minced garlic (careful with quantity as this will be served raw, so the garlic will remain in all of it&#8217;s spicy glory- raw garlic is very cool, so I tend go over board) and sliced purple onions toss lightly to distribute. <a href="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Kale..jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1866" title="Kale." src="http://goldenboyfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Kale.-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours.</p>
<p>If you go overboard with the garlic the first time (like I did) this works wonderfully on top of a bed of greens to help neutralize it. Remember raw garlic is spicy!!</p>
<p>I have tried collard greens with great success.  Mustard Greens, not so much.</p>
<p>All credit goes to Tanya Walker at the TW &amp; Company and Annie Hillary. Thank you!</p>
<p>Serves: 4-6</p>
<p>Preparation time: 10 min prep, 2 hrs to marinate</p>
