why don't you lick my hairy ass crack.

FDR was one of the worst presidents in history. My vote goes to James Madison and Thomas Jefferson.

Why didn't you just pay it on time?

Will, thanks for the info on the HR monitors - I am glad to hear they're accurate. Stadium stairs are something I've thought of. The only problem is that I like to get a good, long "uphill" grind to simulate the stress on my legs. mattyg-Are you sure the old machines are the piston type? The Rec Hall here at Davis used to have the "rotating stairs" type - you're right, that one does simulate climbing pretty well. Unfortunately, when they built our new facility, they didn't move the old machines. Now all we have are the piston type. I think I will start training on the machines with a heavy load though. I can't wait to hear the questions people ask me. Thanks for the info and suggestions.

I live in a part of California that is absolutely dead flat. We have maybe 30 feet of elevation change across the entire city. The nearest opportunity for hill repeats is a good 45 minute drive one way and I don't have the time to do that very often (more like never - I am a full time student and I work part-time). I work out on the stair machine mostly and on the EFX type elliptical trainers the rest of the time. It doesn't seem like I get much of a calf workout on the stair machine and basically none on the EFX. What do you "city dwellers" do for your cardio/leg endurance workouts? I know Twight mentioned the stair machines in his book. Have they worked well for anyone else here? What kind of time/"elevation" are you doing on them, if you do use them? My typical workout now is 45 minutes, with about 220-240 floors, for what that's worth. Also, does anyone know how accurate those little hand hold heart rate monitors are (the ones on the machines)? Thanks for any suggestions/info.

18" for me, but I am a fat ass (5'10", 185 lbs).

Oops...you're right, I am a dipshit.

Read this book for a little perspective on the cultural changes that take place when cultures are "Americanized."

That's odd for Shasta.

There are a bunch of those cars here in Davis, Ca. The city uses them for driving around town and they seem to be fine for that. They aren't meant to be driven on highways where some asshat in a Ford ExxonValdez might decide to play monster mash with them.
