Is this a good time...200meter???

I'm a 13 year old girl (14 in july) and I run the 200 meter race on my middle school track team. My best score so far has been 29.94. I have had no earlier training AT ALL and this is done without spikes, but with plain running shoes. Is this a good time? And are there any techniques I could work on? Tips would help! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Is this a good time...200meter???
That's a real good time, considering that the top time in our league this year was a 25.2. You should definitely make the investment into some spikes - make sure you get sprint spikes, as there are different kinds. Good for you, and keep working at it!
Reply:well if you just started its okay....


but if you really want to be better.. you have to work out each day... no matter in what mood you are.. how bad teh weather is...or something else.. give always 110 % and never quit.. and I think you can be around 25 sec. soon.... good luck...





ps. my time for 200m is around 20-22 secs.
Reply:Considering you have not done much previous running, that is a great time. I am a distance runner, so that sounds especially good to me, i can only run it in about 40 secs
Reply:that's a good time


make sure ur form is good


like keep ur elbow's at a 90-degree angle


and for the start


take quick steps during the acceleration





btw- spikes and blocks (for starting) improve ur time by like a second
Reply:That is a really good time! Just keep at it and you could try to strengthen your legs a bit which will make you run even faster.





Good luck!!
Reply:well thats preety good since youve just started. All you need is to get stronger and work on your technique, I suggest that you do alot of speed work

Reply:Wow i havent laughed that hard in a while!
Reply:1.Cover one side of a shiny half-dollar with super glue or 5 minute epoxy, and glue it to the floor. Carefully cover it with your shoe so noone sees what you're doing. After it has set, move away and watch from a safe distance as people try to pick it up.


2. Make a ball out of compressed detergent soap, and secretly drop it into the large fountain or waterfall. Move to a distance and watch the suds start to roll.


3. Print out 8 1/2x11 pictures of Barney Fife with the words, "Premises protected by Fife." and tape them to all outside doors. Watch the rent-a-cops throw a fit.


4. Lock all stalls in a bathroom and then climb over or under each dividing wall and leave. For extra annoyance put a drop of superglue into each sliding lock.

She got some string and tied my hands to my together! Then she got more string and tied my feet together! Then she got a really heavy toy saddle for my plastic toy horse, and tied it to me!! She also put string in my mouth, so I couldn't talk! Then she mad me go on my tied hand and knee's, and sat on me! She grabbed my underwear, and pulled it in the direction she wanted to go! She said, run little horsey, your gonna miss the race! I got so mad and jumped and she fell, then she grabbed my underwear and put me in my room and closed the door. She came back with rope and tied me to my couch! Then she sat on me and watched TV!!! Every time I moved she grabbed my underwear and pulled it reall hard!

My knee has been hurting for a long time , im only 14?

hi, im 14 in 9nth grade, at the beginning of the year and in the summer till winter break i was on the cross country team running 36-40 miles a week, for about 5 months, after that and a couple of really hard races, my knee pain came and is still here, so it has been here for about 5 months, when it started hurting i went to my doctor and he said that im doing too much, so i did no running or p.e.at all for three months with a knee brace, and now for two months its still here and im sick of the knee brace because it did not change anything, so are my running days over?my feet used to hurt when this all started and i got like three new pairs of running shoes, please help, are my running days over i have asked this question a whole lot of times and still the pain is here

My knee has been hurting for a long time , im only 14?
maybe u should go 2 the doctor because your knee bone can be out of it's place
Reply:I think i had the same thing as you were describing. I had something called 'Severs Disesase'. I used to do similiar amount of running as you did. I got it diagnosed by my physiotherapist. Maybe you should go to one to confirm it.





Sever's disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, is the most frequent cause of heel pain in children between the ages of 9 and 15 and is due to an inflammation of growing plates, of the calcaneus in the back of the foot, due to the rapid growth of bone when compared to the calceneal tendon (otherwise known as the Achilles tendon).





Although is says just the heel, i had it in my knees as well. hwat i found helped as well was putting a heel cusion in my show on the leg it was hurting, which helped just raise my heel that slight bit and it hurt less/stopped hurting.
Reply:Listen to joiks. Otherwise you will end up like me with premature arthritis, and you will be eating NSAIDs like candy.
Reply:i had the same problem, you probably have a condition called runners knee. Its nothing bad, when i had it the doctor said just to work out my quads. But still check with ur doctor 2 make sure

BALLAD OF BIRMINGHAM





"Mother dear, may I go downtown


instead of out to play,


and march the streets of Birmingham


in a Freedom March today?"





"No, baby, no, you may not go,


for the dogs are fierce and wild,


and clubs and hoses, guns and jails


ain't good for a little child."





"But, mother, I won't be alone.


Other children will go with me,


and march the streets of Birmingham


to make our country free."





"No, baby, no, you may not go,


for I fear those guns will fire.


But you may go to church instead


and sing in the children's choir."





She has combed and brushed her nightdark hair,


and bathed rose petal sweet,


and drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,


and white shoes on her feet.





The mother smiled to know her child


was in the sacred place,


but that smile was the last smile


to come upon her face.





For when she heard the explosion,


her eyes grew wet and wild.


She raced through the streets of Birmingham


calling for her child.


She clawed through bits of glass and brick,


then lifted out

Can some one Help and perdict may be about?
The poem is about the civil rights movement in Birmingham, Alabama during the Birmingham bus strike, 1960's. Poem is a dialog between mother and child. Child wants to participate in civil rights riots while Mom is concerned about child's safety. Actually modeled after actual events concluding with the bombing of 16th street Baptist Church in April 1963. Here is an article:

Reply:If you have problems with finding the stressed syllables, try saying the word with the stress somewhere else, and see if it sounds right. So for example, try saying BIRmingham, then birMINGham, then birmingHAM and see which shounds right.

Ok does this make me a bad person??

Okay well i judge a lot, not really races but morea long the lined of looks! i judge myself too though! but like this guy likes me nad he is realy sweet, he has a nice car but his clothes just arent my style i mean he doesnt own enough abecrombie hollister type stuff! clothes is everything to me i judge people on there clothes and there weight! i jusdge myself on my weight as well im reaching for a goal of 100 (( i am 15 feamle 5'6)) and until im comfortable in my shoes i cant get close w anyother guys! i havent had a bf in 2 years because of this ! i have teakin pills to help w my weight and binged and purged!! does all of this make me a bad person! sorry i got a little of topic! and this isnt for attention i promise!

Ok does this make me a bad person??
Yes, it makes you look like a shallow person and to me I have never met a good shallow person. You probably could have had a great boyfriend or boyfriends in those two years, but since you judged guys on their clothes you never met any of those great guys. Also I think you need to stop with the weight-loss because I think your normal weight would be like 20 more pounds or something like that. See I am 5'0'' and my normal body weight would be 100, so if you are six inches taller then yeah you have a weight problem.
Reply:I judge people on their grammar and yours stinks. See, it's not nice of me to judge you for your grammar, so stop judging him for his clothes. That's very shallow.
Reply:You are too caught up in appearances, both your own and others. Have you seen a counselor? Purging is very dangerous to your health. Look at it this way, these bodies we're in are just sacks of flesh that are going to decay. We're all going to get old and die - the body is just a temporary vehicle. Do you love your mother or grandmother even though she's older and maybe wears old clothes? Well, that's real love - loving someone (including yourself) for who they are, not what they look like. Try to see a counselor and get some advice to help you move on. Good luck.
Reply:First of all, if you are 5'6" and going for 100 lb. weight goal you are anorexic or borderline anorexic, especially if you have binged and purged. If you weigh 100 lbs those clothes you like so much aren't going to fit you right. They are going to hang off you. You won't have any breasts, hips or butt to fill out those clothes. As far as the guy's clothes- maybe abercrombie isn't his style- it's yours. You could miss out on a really great guy because he doesn't wear the same clothing line that you do. You need to quit being so judgmental and look at the person, not the outfit. and get yourself some help for your eating disorder. You do not have a healthy self image.
Reply:no it doesn't make you a bad person.


just give the guy a chance.


my bf doesn't wear that stuff,


and shopping is my fave hobbie.


i just love him for him,


not his clothes.


please answer my question:


http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:you aren't a bad person but you are shallow and could have an eating disorder, and until you take care of yourself you won't have a relationship work out.
Reply:get help with the eating thing...for the judging try not to concentrate on wat clothes he is wearing try replacing the bad with the good like say for me i dont like short guys, so my boyfriend is short at the moment and i just concentrate on his face cause he is really cute, just replace this guys clothes with him being nice....or with something else his hair, highth, personality, ect. you can replace anything and eventually u dont even remember what his default was

Horse owners~~I have some winter time questions!!?

OK, I live in North Dakota, and bought my first horse this year. The previous owners used him to pony on race tracks, they have used him to break 200+ horses, and he has a lot of experience over all.





Here's my question. Has anyone noticed a change in their horses come winter? We bought him in August, and rode him every day until things iced up here, and now I don't dare ride him until his shoes are removed. First off, I'm sure I can go without riding him until the ice melts in spring, and should still be good to go.





What I'm most concerned about is his disposition. He is sometimes very skiddish and somewhat nervous, and other times he is really bouncy and playful. How common is this?! As a new horse owner, is there any other useful info that you may be able to provide for me?





I appreciate it!


Thanks!

Horse owners~~I have some winter time questions!!?
My horse is like that...he'll be so relaxed and then he gets really nervous, etc. I think some horses are just like that because I've had him for almost 14 years and he's always been that way. Although he does tend to be more skittish in the winter due to the wind, cold, and lack of exercise. He should be fine if you don't ride him during the winter...just keep in mind that he will be out of shape and you will have to start slower so he can get back in shape once spring comes. Other advice...start a rainy day fund because horse emergencies are SO expensive!! I've had colic, fractured coffin bone, etc. and they all cost several thousand dollars to fix. Good luck w/ your new horse!!
Reply:I would only feed Hay;Plenty of Water,save the Oats untill He is Working;
Reply:If you don't see your horse over the winter then he will not be as used to you as he was when you got him. As much as everyone who hates to admit it, we all don't want to go out in the cold and see them, but we still love them and we have to for them to remember us and have them be closer to us. My horses have to be cared for every day and wheter I like it or not I have to give them love every day and spoil them more in the winter to keep them warm and healthy. The more you see your horses, the less skiddish they will be around you and they( he) will love you all year. Hope I helped!!!
Reply:Cooler weather tends to make horses jittery and skittish, a bit high strung. It is quite normal for horses to act this way.
Reply:My horses are out on pasture, and then both pastures come into their stalls for the night. We have a indoor arena and stuff so ice and stuff isnt a issue.





But what ive noticed in the pasture is some of them never move. A older horse had to be in a paddock by himself because of a injury and he fell on the ice. VERY sad thing to see.





Well what happens with mine and my boarders horses is that they dont move a inch out in the icy pasture but when they come in or i have to ride them they are like a mexican jumping bean because they couldnt run or anything outside. And of course i have to hold them back best i could because i dont want them to lose precious body heat. Also what i see alot is one day lets say is 40 degrees, and the next is 12 degrees... the horses get really excited over it because its such a huge weather change. Since it doesnt sound like you have a indoor ring, you could possibly trailer him somewhere.





IM nervous for next week because its supposed to be in the 40's. But my horses have pretty heavy coats, so even though its warm i cant ride much. =[
Reply:I think he might need to be lunged once a day. You might think he's getting enough exersize but on his own I dout he's getting as much as he's use to. You don't have to worry about riding him. Just grab a lunge line and go into a ring or in the field and lunge hime at all diferent gaints. Give him the same amount of exersize he's use to during the summer. Also try T-touch it could help. I have total faith in it. If you don't already use it here's a website on it http://www.tellingtontouch.com/


good luck!
Reply:Any horse can be skittish or nervous on windy days. would that be the problem? Are you acting different with him when he acts nervous. He will react to how you react. If he acts nervous or skittish, get him moving get his attention on what he's doing. Always act confident with him. I've noticed my horses seem friskier on cold winter days. I live in South Dakota. I don't shoe my horses. I just trim their hooves when they need it. I like riding in the winter and my horses seem to like being ridden and going someplace in the winter. Since he used to pony horses, he may not have been taught to gallup on cue. On him not staying in the barn, horses if given the choice prefer to be outside. When the weather gets too harsh for him he will go into the barn. Here's a thought. Why not get a horse for your husband and then your horse will have a buddy. Think how nice it would be for you and your husband to to ride into the sunset together.
Reply:because he has more energy because


1. you aren't riding him


2. its winter its cold and the cold seems to make the horses skiddish and full of energy





horses know if your scared so some will take advantage of that too.





build up a trust and just trust him. HANG ON!





have fun!








oh try to stay on the snow or he might slip!
Reply:All horses feel frisky in the cool air are 20 year old gelding runs and bucks with all the other horses when we turn them out over the winter every few weeks or when the suns out. And he usually just starts eating in the summer.
Reply:Congrats on buying your horse.


I am in the UK and mine are out during the day and in at night. with Christmas and it going dark so early they are not getting ridden very often so mine are being silly and spooky when they are ridden and more grumpy than usual when we do anything with them - all they want to do at the moment is eat !
Reply:Okay, you Need to ride him really soon. he can not go that long, it will make him hyper and really skiddish. Also my horse has changed a little he has a little more energy. Try hand walking around things that scare him and he will trust you pet him give treats, whatever he likes.





Also for some other info. Baker blankets are awesome for the cold. Thats what I have.





Hope this helps!!!!
Reply:It's completely normal. It's harder for them to get outside and exercise in the bad weather. And unlike people, horses store energy and not just fat. I would ride him if possible, and if not make sure he gets to go outside a lot. Most horses would prefer to be outside in the snow and ice than locked up inside.
Reply:He sounds like a cool horse, awesome experience and resume he has.





I have a 10 yr old mule that is a jerk when it gets cold.. He bucks and plays and carries on worse than a weanling. Some are just like that and more work and less hot feed does help. He also has an alfalfa meth high going on, so he has been cut back severely on that. So just some ideas for you to try.





You can also bit him up, attach lines to the saddle and just lunge him around to burn off some excess energy before you ride.





More than likely he will come around just fine in the spring, but thats some ideas if you want to ride before then.
Reply:Congrats on your new horse! It sounds like he's not getting a lot of exercise (which it sounds like he was used to), which would account for his behavior. He's probably not being turned out as much, either, because of the weather, so that isn't helping matters. He's full of energy, but he's got no place to burn it, so he's acting bouncy and skittish. If you have an indoor, you could lunge or ride him to get rid of some of his energy. (I am guessing you don't, or else you wouldn't have this problem!) You are smart not to ride him on the ice, good for you.





It mioght help break his boredom a little if you give him a stall toy (check out State Line Tack or Dover's website for these). One of my horses really liked an empty plastic jug with some gravel inside tied to a rafter above her head in her stall...she'd bop it around and entertain herself that way. Take him out of his stall a few times a day and groom him so he gets a change of scenery. He will calm down once he's getting more exercise in the warmer weather.
Reply:ride him in the snow, he'll be fine


pony horses off track are usually great rides very dependable


he may always be nervous, the longer you have him and the more you show him that the monsters are not going to eat him


he will trust you more with time
Reply:I live in South Dakota, so yes I know how the winters can be. However, I would never personally have a horse with shoes on them this time of the year.....Unless I was hauling them and they stayed stalled when not riding. I personally believe that that is a very good way to get an injury that could have been easily prevented.





Their dispostions don't change with the seasons if that is what you are asking. Mine have the same personalities and dispostions all year long..... unless there is a storm coming in. In the winter when it is like this they will be alittle more frisky, and in the summer time they are about the same. It's kinda hard to explain, but it you watch your horse right before a storm hits you know what I am trying to say.





My suggestion to you is to spend some time with him. He is still new so things are new to him. I would personally spend as much time with him as you could to form a bond. Not so much riding, just on the ground stuff. Grooming, loving on him, giving him treats. Good Luck!!
Reply:My horses change a little. They go from really play full and very good under saddle, to still playful, but because its snowy and icy, they are a little more careful. They are still good under saddle but tis a little harder to get them to set their head and come onto the bit.





Your horse may have changed because you aren't spending as much time with him as you were, because its so cold. I know i do but my horses are used to it. Just because you aren't riding him and playing with him as much, try to give him a little more attention.
Reply:Is he alone or with other horses? Anxiety is common in Thoroughbreds when not in a excersize routine. What breed is he? I had a TB mare that had "skiddish" attitude on windy days. Is he on a high protien feed? Sweet feed can cause hyperactivity in horses and considering he can't burn it off like when you bought him. Look into his diet and surroundings.
Reply:i think he will be fine they do get skiddish sometimes when it is windy though
Reply:too much stuff to read....UGH!



find friends

Does this excerpt of part of my story sound okay?

One of the boys turned his head. How did he hear me? His violet eyes scanned the darkness. I didn't breathe, nor move. The boy was ... strange. His stare seemed much older then the body he was in. He looked my age, but wiser. He started to move.


“...How stupid can someone be. Seriously—” The red-head stopped taunted Jenna and glanced at the violet-eyed boy. “...Gabe, what...?”


“Ssh....” The violet-eyed boy whispered. Moving closer and closer to my hiding spot. His movements were almost ... catlike.


Five feet away. Four feet. Three feet. Two feet. One ...


“What are you doing?” asked the third boy. “Gabe!”


“Gabe” looked back—I made my move. I slide farther behind the wall, behind an abandoned market stall. When Gab silenced his friend and turned back I was out of sight. He swore. Good day, for a little boy he new some “interesting” words. Then he walked back to the other three. I let out a deep breath, getting up, and slowly turned my head to peek back around the wall....


“I little spy, are we?” He was right there. Staring at me.


I jumped back. I don't know why, but he scared me. His icy stare matched the frozen dew drops on the dead grass of a tundra. It made you want to run far. Far away. Into that tundra. Never coming back Never looking back. Never thinking of his stare. Never, never, never....


“Excusez-moi?” I asked innocently.


“Are you a espion?” he said, following my French, calling me a 'spy'. Except for the fact his was a lot less poorly pronounced. “Hello? Are you deft? Are are you really French?”


Putting on my courage I looked him in the eye. “Leave my sister alone!”


“Your sister?” The redhead appeared behind Gabe. “Are you as stupid?”


“My sister isn't stupid. She's—” I stopped. She couldn't read, write, or think right. People might think of Jenna as “stupid”, but she wasn't! Not in my eyes at least.


“...a daftie,” redhead finished.


I grunted. Jenna was against the wall—eyes wide. I had to settle this. Fast. Before my mother noticed Jenna and me were missing. So I lifted my leg—with heeled shoes—and kicked the redhead. Right in the....


“OW!” He fell, his face scrunched up.


Aye, I kicked him hard.


But he got up. I almost thought of kicking him again, but he ran for it. The third boy stood there eyes wide. I glared at him. He let out an 'eep' and ran after redhead. Now, one left. I turned toward Gabe. He just stood there, the glare thing not working on him. So I readied myself, and raced forward him, my fist back ready to punch.


I heard Jenna gasp. Then right before my eyes ... he vanished.

Does this excerpt of part of my story sound okay?
Yes, it sounds good.





Very creative. Keep it up I think you have something here.





Happy writting
Reply:I was immediately struck by how a writer should not misspell, or use the wrong word in a sentence, (then instead of than), and the French don't say "excusez", that's part English. Ruins the whole thing.



nanny job

We have a pacer that has a problem with his front legs, we have the vet out at least once a fortnight?

He has had all the injections that the vet has advised. But he still moves as though he is sore. We have had the farrier out and he recomended and placed "pads" under his shoes to absorb the impact on the track. He has had alot of problems with his feet and legs, all have been treated by a vet and a farrier. Does anyone have anyother ideas on what could be done to assist him. He loves to race and would do it on 3 legs if we did not stop him. He is the most loving horse, more a pet than a racer. Thank you for your assistance with his problem, I hope you can help him

We have a pacer that has a problem with his front legs, we have the vet out at least once a fortnight?
There is an old fashione remedy called horse linament it is a waxy substance that you place aroundthe front leg muscles and have it bound with cotton cloth to hold it in place ~~
Reply:You can use this medication 1/3 BAL and 1/3 listerine regular and 1/3 glycerine Shake well and apply as much as you need wrap the front legs in plastic wrap then put a heavy thick bandage to sweat. Do this for a week you will not blister him and check his front feet for a stone bruise Rub vaseoline in the heels If is feet are hot pack them in oatmeal that will draw the heat out. How do I know this I worked for the family business and Calumet farms and Jack Vanberg who is in Calif. Good Luck
Reply:Without knowing what's wrong with your horse's front feet and or legs, I do have a few thoughts and suggestions. First and foremost, a pacer who is chronically sore /lame in one front leg or the other will eventually go sore or lame in the hind leg on the same side ! That said, it is possible that the initial cause of his front leg/foot lameness started in the hind leg on the same side. Thus , continued treatment in front does not solve the problem because the hind leg issue was not addressed ! Have your vet go over his hind end to possibly find a possible problem causing a secondary lameness in front ! Secondly, not knowing the age of your pacer and his class, i.e. claimer, condition, open ect., if chronic front feet lameness is his problem, and ALL possible treatments have been exausted, I would discuss de-nerving his front feet with your vet. It may sound a bit cruel, but believe me it's not, and may help your horse a great deal by eliminating most of his pain in his feet and allowing him to race sounder and more successfully ! I hope i have been some help.
Reply:It is possible that the problem is not with his legs but his back or withers. Did you have these areas checked out?
