  • How to run sub 16 5k?

    Hi. I'm a sophomore in high school and i really want to break a 16:00 5k. My season recently ended, and my PR was a 16:53 with a negative split for the race (i peaked and had 2 much extra energy 2 finish the race). I think sub 16 next year is definitly possible. My weekly mileage was around 40-45 miles, with lots of speedwork (my coach loves track workouts). Also, i am now adding more core work to my schedule, and was going to increase my mileage to 55-60miles a week. I was wondering if anyone could give me more tips, and maybe some splits to break 16. I definitly have the motivation 2 do it; i just need 2 kno how 2 get there. Thanks in advance.

  • Guitar Wiring/Routing Question?

    hi. i was thinking about making a guitar (this would be my first). I found a nice body on stewmac.com to purchase, however, i was wondering what the routing on the back of the guitar was for. Although i am inexperienced, i thought the wiring for this type of guitar was to be done in the front, like a strat. Not like a les paul where you wire it from the back of the guitar. Here is the link to the body:

    http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bodies,_necks,_wood/El...

    (there is a rating on the bottom of the page that includes a pic of what it should look like when finished, and there is a view of the routing done on the back on the picture link under details)

    Thanks in advance

  • What is too much running for a 15 year old?

    Hi. I'm 15 and run all year. In the fall i do cross country, and in the winter and spring i do track. In a week or two track is ending, and i was going to start summer training on my own, but would training for a half marathon be too much for me? I really want to try one, but i dont want to hurt my body too young. Thanks in advance.

  • Is it too late for me to start playing baseball?

    Hi. I'm a freshman this year and was wondering if it is too late to start playing baseball. Usually, I ran track in the spring, but wanted to try baseball this year. If I did, I'd learn to play outfield because I'm fast. Otherwise, I'm not a very good hitter, however there is still 5 months for practice till the season. Does anyone think I have a chance of making the team if I try hard?

  • Drum set help! 10 pts promised to whoever can help!?

    Hi. I bought a drum set about a month ago, but would like to sell it now (don't have the time to learn). I bought the set off craigslist, but didn't save the tom and snare sizes. Now that I want to sell them, I'm going to need those sizes for the set's description. Here is an example of what I'm trying to measure:

    Sizes

    · 22" x 18" Bass Drum

    · 12" x 9" Tom

    · 13" x 10" Tom

    · 16" x 16" Floor Tom

    · 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum

    Do I just measure the tom's length and width to get these measurements?
