I only play in standard tuning so far. If I only play a few pieces in different alternate tunings, would it be better to learn those using tablature so that I do not have to keep track of the different locations of the notes in each tuning?

When I walk/run my heart rate gradually increases for about 45 minutes then it drops for the rest of my run. Is this due to warming up, burning off the glycogen stores or something else?

I mixed 3/4 cup sugar, 3 egg yolks and 2 cups half and half and simmered it till it started to thicken a bit.

I then blended it with 1 pound of fresh raspberries chilled it and then poured it into my ice cream maker.

When it was done I put it in the freezer. It has more the texture of sorbet than ice cream. How can I get a more creamy texture?

10 to 15 minute warmup on the treadmill, or a light set of each exercise for a warmup.

Abs:

crunch

reverse crunch

I might replace these with roman chair situps and hyperextension.

Chest and back:

bench press

bent over row

upright row

Arms and shoulders:

military press

curl

tricep extension

Legs:

squat

deadlift

calf raise

Any suggestions to make it better.

After about 4 miles the outside of my leg next to the knee goes numb, it goes away gradually and is gone the next day. It also happens if I sit for too long in a hard chair. Any one else experience this?

When I do my run in the local county park my path is usually hindered by small children on bicycles scooters pets on long leashes. The children and the pets I can live with. people who run 4 and 5 abreast and take up the whole path, and school cross country teams that stand around and block the path when they are not running or adults who are standing around chatting and blocking the whole path is quite irritating.

I am considering adding a day of interval training to my schedule for 5k training. I am thinking about 400m slow, 400m fast, 6 repetitions then 400m slow. I am considering increasing the fast pace about 1% to 2% per week, Any other suggestions for the interval training.

Is 30 miles a week a resonable amount for 5/10k training?
