I m 16 and have been going on ski vacations every winter for almost my entire life. Recently I ve been thinking that it might be cool to try competing (mostly just for fun). So how exactly would I get involved in competitive skiing? I don t really live near any mountains, so would I be able to just enter a random race at whichever mountain I m at on vacation next winter? I really just have no idea how any of it works so any information would be great.

I'm a high school track runner and I'm hoping to continue in college (probably division 2 or 3). My times are a little slower than they should be for my top choice school, but I'm really confident that I'm in a good place academically to get accepted to the school. Even if I'm really not fast enough to get directly recruited, is walking on still a possibility. I know that I probably wouldn't get as much racing in, but I'm really interested in the school and I don't want to give up on that just because my times may not be where they should be. Do you think walking on could be a possibility? Or should I just move on to considering a different school?

Okay so I'm a sophomore in high school and a 400 meter runner. I was one of the best on my team, but an injury during the cross country season kept me from running for 2 months. Now, I've been back to running for about 3 and a half weeks and I'm not happy with my 400 times. The injury made me really out of shape. I did some cross training while I was injured, but now that I'm back to running it seems like it didn't help. Right now I'm running, on average, 6 seconds slower than my personal best. So do you know of any workouts that I could do that might help me ease back into the level I was at before my injury? I know it's going to take some time and hard work but I'm really hoping to get my times down by the end of the indoor track season and the beginning of the outdoor season. Thanks so much!

So I'm 15 and my PR is about 57. Right now I'm on my school's cross country team because I figured that doing some long distance work for awhile would help but I need to get a faster 400 for once the indoor track season starts in the winter. So do you guys have like sample workouts I could do? Should I be doing more distance or speed work? Thanks guys

My finals start in a little over a week and it's on the stuff from the whole year. How should I go about studying? I need help I'm running out of time!!!

I'm a middle distance runner. I do mostly 800m and 400m, but my coach put me in a 4x100 relay and I'm freaking out. I've never done a sprinting race that short and since it's a relay it just adds a ton of more pressure. I've also never done full blind handoffs. So any 100m racing strategies or baton exchanging tips? Please. I'm flipping out right now!

I wanna see insidious chapter 2, but i've never seen the 1st movie. Do i need to see the 1st one to understand the 2nd one? Can i just not watch the 1st and go see the 2nd?

I'm trying out for cross country tomorrow. I've been training all summer and I've gotten a lot better, but theres a lot of kids trying out. Is there any way to increase my chances? Any tips or techniques to run long distances easier? Thanks!!

I'm Rusyn and I know a lot about the Rusyn heritage, until my friends ask me what it is. I just don't know what to say anymore when my stupid friends go "I don't get it, what's Rusyn???" I need something simple that I can use to explain what my heritage is. Thanks!!

My graduation dance is at 7:30 TONIGHT and I have a few pimples/zits that I really want to get rid of. Does anybody have any ideas that will reduce or get rid of my acne by tonight. It's a formal dance so I want to look my best. Please Help! P.S. I'm a guy if that helps

Girls seem to post pictures of themselves a lot. Just wondering why???

I'm doing an event with my school where we fast for 30 hours. I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it all the way. Any suggestions on how I can reduce hunger? PS we can have drinks

I'm a guy and in the summer I get farmers tan because I'm only shirtless when I'm at the beach, pool, etc. How can I even out my tan all over my body.

Ok so I'm in 8th grade and last year our English teacher also taught vocabulary but this year they got this idiot woman to teach vocab. She makes us draw stupid pictures on our flash cards and gives stupid assignments that don't help us learn the words at all. She also pronounces almost all if the vocab words wrong and squints when she talks and its really distracting. She gave me points off on a test because she said I used the wrong form of "there" (they're, their, there) but she was the one who used it wrong. I can't stand her and she pisses me off soooo much. I don't know how I can make it until graduation with this idiot woman. HELP!!!!

I'm aiming for straight "A's" this marking period. Whats the best way to study? How long should I study for? When should I study? Anything that might help. PLEASE!

When can you work in NY?

I've been skiing all my life and now I want to learn to snowboard. Anyone have any tips that might help me pick it up faster?
