In 1593 William Shakespeare wrote in Taming of the Shrew, Katerina tells off a gentleman to go jogging till his boots go green. The terms to jog and jogging, as a form of exercise, originated in England in the mid seventeenth century. In the United States jogging was also called "roadwork" when athletes in training, such as boxers, customarily ran several miles each day as part of their conditioning. In New Zealand during the 1960s or 1970s the word roadwork was mostly supplanted by the word "jogging" The idea of jogging as an organised activity was mooted in a sports page article in the New Zealand Herald in February 1962, which told of a group of former athletes and fitness enthusiasts who would meet once a week to run for "fitness and sociability". Since they would be jogging, the newspaper suggested that the club "may be called the Auckland Joggers Club"—which is thought to be the first use of the noun "jogger".

Hardlopen kan men bijna bij elk weertype doen. Sommige lopers stellen zich tot doel gewoon lekker te blijven lopen. Anderen proberen hun prestaties te verbeteren door steeds snellere tijden neer te zetten op bijvoorbeeld de 5 km. Weer anderen trainen verder voor bijvoorbeeld de 10km, 10 mijl, halve marathon of natuurlijk de hele marathon. Veel hardlopers zeggen dat, wanneer je eenmaal de smaak van het hardlopen te pakken hebt, het een bezigheid is waar men niet meer zonder wil. Dit is niet vreemd als men zich bedenkt dat bij het lopen endorfines worden afgegeven aan het bloed. Deze stoffen zorgen ervoor dat je je goed voelt. Zelf hou ik niet zo van jogging, laat mij maar wandelen ;-)

How To Lose Face Fat

Here is a fact that you should take note of. What do you look at first when you meet somebody? You look at their face first right? For example you meet up with old friends, colleagues, your neighbor or new friends, most of the time you will focus your attention on their faces first.

A Leap of Faith
Gymnastics is a tough sport. You practice long hours in the gym learning the basic skills. Then you put those skills together, again during long hours in the gym, to learn simple routines.
If you stick with it, then you try the simply skills and basic routines out while trying to maintain your balance on a 4" wide (100mm) piece of suede covered wood.
Trying to photograph a gymnast is like using a camera for the first time. You may try really hard, but wind up without a lot to show for it.
Gym meets are usually held in poorly lit spaces. Spectators are typically kept toward one end of the gym, it would seem as far from the competition as possible. No flash is allowed. The action is fast, and often unpredicatable, and even the best camera equipment is of little help.
This photograph is one of the "best of the worst" from about 400 shots I took at the "Winter Blast Invitational Gym Meet", held this past weekend in Woodstock. GA.
This was shot using a Canon 20D, ISO 3200 (I told you it was poorly lit, right?), 1/400 and f2.8 using a Canon 70-200 f2.8 L IS/USM lens, handheld. Oh, while apologizing to another dad and two moms for blocking their view. See, there are 3 others events going on simultaneously (bars, vault and floor).
The good news is hard works pays off, at least if you're a gymnast. GizmoGrrl placed 2nd in this balance beam event and went on to win "All Around Champion" for this gym meet -- for earning the highest total score for beam, bars, vault and floor exercise.
There are 5-6 other gym meets this season. The next meet is in Tucker in February. Let me know if you want to go take 400 or so shots of totally unpredictable, fast moving action, in near darkness.
It's fun. Really.
