  • How to train for XC season this fall?

    So I have been running XC and Track for 3 years and any time I google how to train for the upcoming season it suggests beginners workouts. I am already in shape and doing my best to improve my times. I run about 5 days a week, on average 5 miles a workout. When I run outside I do a 6.5 mile long run at a steady pace and when I run at the gym I run a warm up mile at 6.5mph then add 1 mph every mile until 9.5mph. That gives me 4 miles and then I take a break and run my last mile at 8.5mph. I am determined to run varsity this year seeing as I am now a senior and my scores don't count if I run jv. How do I continue to push myself safely with my overall goal being a faster 5k time?

  • Is my ethnicity considered to be white?

    So, I was born in Israel and moved to America at a young age. I have always been confused when standardized tests or forms asked for an ethnicity with a drop down list of "white, asian, native american, hispanic, other". Israel is in Asia but it's considered the Middle East. My parents have always said I'm white, but isn't white ethnically speaking of European descent? Like Germans and Swedes. I always put other. Is this accurate? Am I considered white? I feel like it must be wrong to call a native born in Israel Caucasian. Help!

  • Can you help me name this actor?! I can't remember!?

    So I'm trying to remember a movie he was in so I could go look up his name. He's a very large and very tall (like <7' probably) actor. He looks Russian, with black, scraggly, long hair. He always plays villains in movies, and I feel like he was in a spy movie. He has a really big jaw that sticks out and pointy teeth. He's cast as the scary lug who's misunderstood, if ya know what I mean. I can picture his face in my head, but don't know his name. HELP! IMPORTANT. It's not terribly important. It'll kill me if I don't remember.

  • I spilled nail polish remover on my laptop! Touchpad wont work!?

    I accidentally spilled nail polish remover all over my laptop. Thank god it seems to be working fine. But my touchpad is the only thing not working. I can navigate using a usb plug in mouse, but when I enable the touchpad it wont respond to my finger and when left alone it jumps erratically all over the screen with no prompting. have I completely ruined it or is there anything I can do? The right click and left click buttons seem to work fine.

  • Will drinking water with mold in it make me sick?

    So I was running late this morning and just grabbed a water bottle that I hadn't used in a few months. I filled it with water and then began to drink. I drank like 8 ounces when I noticed there was mold in it. At the bottom was 2 tiny green dots of it, and floating around in it were these little white puffs of it. Will I get sick from it?

  • I couldn't sleep all night and need help!?

    I have no Idea why not. Last night I went to bed at 2 (which is late for me) so tonight I expected the same. I layed in bed until 6 a.m EXHAUSTED but not falling asleep. I'm completely comfortable and the room is like it always is when I fall asleep easily. So now its 6 am and I've given up. Which route do I take? Coffee throughout the day with no naps at all, or like a 2 hour nap at noon or something? I'll be running on 0 sleep so I need a way to get me to sleep later today around 11 p.m. Also, why is it that someone can be soo tired for so long and be laying in bed and just not falling asleep?!

    I was wondering if aloe would be okay to put on. It is on my face too so I want to know if I can put makeup on it. Or should I let it breathe? Will that even make a difference?

  • Back to school clothing ideas to keep cool?

    I live in the south and its hot to say the least. My school year is starting soon and I'm worried about keeping cool but still meeting my schools dress codes. The code states that we cant wear bottoms shorter then finger tip length, tank tops (sometimes if the strap is thick enough you can let it slide), and nothing all around too revealing. My school is basicaly a parking garage. No a/c in summer or heat in winter in the halls. Classes are pretty hot too. Any ideas of things I can wear and places I can buy them? Im an incoming sophmore girl! Im thinking sheer flowy tops with nude cami's underneath, airy crochet tops, etc. Im on a budget too. Thanks!

  • My shirts colors are bleeding! Any way of fixing it?!?

    I have a blue and white stripe t-shirt that wasnt cheap. Now the white stripes in the arm pit area are turning a light blue shade! I dont sweat a ton, but yeah, it gets hot in summer so maybe that's the reason? It seems to get worse every time I wear the shirt. I wash it after every wear. Would using color safe bleach work to get the white stripes actually be white? I've heard soaking the shirt in vinegar can help too. If you've tried that or have any other suggestions please help me! Thank you so much!

  • Should I use an at home relaxer?

    Ok so Im of middle eastern descent and I know culture has to do with hair texture. Anyways the front half of my hair (from ears forward) is actually smooth slightly wavy and poofy when towel dried or air dried. Now the back half ranges from the same as the front to extremely coarse, nappy, SUPER THICK. Im not talking like I have alot of hair, ( I do) but I mean the strand itself looks like twine compared to the fine thin hair of the front of my head. I have no idea why this happens. I guess I can blame genetics, but I was wondering if you would recommend me to use an at home relaxer or any type of smoothing treatment for my wild hair, and if so what specific brand or type. I dont want to do damage to my thin hair. I typically straighten my hair on a day to day basis with the occasional natural hair with hair cream in it.

  • Which mascara should I buy?

    Im a huge fan of covergirl lashblast, and I'm thinking that it's because of the rubber brush. I've heard reviews on L'Oreal voluminous carbon black, and people love it. I'm kind of turned off by the spooly brush, but is it worth it? Anyone who has tried both which do you prefer? Or is there a completely different one that you think is awesome? I'm looking for volume in a mascara and length. I like ultra black formulas too.

  • Help! My computer wont respond to me inserting a disc!?

    So I insert a game (the sims 2) to install and when the installer doesn't pop up immediately I go to my computer and click the little disc icon (DVD rw drive F) which should work but instead it asks me to insert a disc and pops open the little thing where you insert the disc, but it already has a disc in it. I'm not sure whats causing this but when I insert the disc it makes these light tapping noises and I dont think it should be doing that. Any idea how to fix this? ps, I have an HP Dv4 laptop if it makes any difference and I looked online and it said that my computer was fit to run the game. Im not sure whats happening!

  • Should I see a doctor about this happening while I run?

    So I have some heart issues (murmur, and frequent Pvc's) that are benign and I thought id say those because i dont know if they relate. Anyways, I run cross country and track, and recently Ive been getting horrible shoulder cramps. I guess it's not really the shoulder but the muscle between my shoulder and collar bone. t just feels like a sharp tightening and adjusting my running form helps, but very slightly, so I'm pretty sure it's a breathing thing. I dont know whether to see a doctor or not because I dont know if this threatens my health or not. It does affect my running and the times I get and I dont want to fail just because of this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I see a doctor or not? Any tips besides altering running form and deep breaths?
