Anna McDonald writes so well that the Hardball Times decided to post her most recent article twice on the same page. And who could blame them? It doesn't matter that she has nothing to say. A girl SABR, no matter how Kahrlian or Seidmanesque her writing style, must be published. It could be years before the next one comes along.
In the unlikely event someone actually fixes the original post, I made a screenshot.

ScreenSelect rebranded as Love Film
Webuser picked this up today and set out the details.
The move is part of the consolidation and integration that the company is busy implementing.
The group has an estimated 70% of the on-line rental market, about 17% of the total DVD rental market. So, rental shops still have 83%!
LoveFilm has well over 1000 movies to download for purchase or rent and is well positioned to exploit this distribution method once the library is expanded by the studios and consumers adopt the method.

News of Daylife is out!
Craigslist Founder's News Ventures Named
By K.C. Jones, TechWeb Technology News
Jeff Jarvis has at least given a name to an upcoming news venture backed by Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, but developers are still keeping a tight lid on their plans.
In writing about another news site, the recently announced but yet to be launched NewAssignment.Net, Jarvis said, "Daylife will gather, analyze, organize and create a new, distributed platform for the world's news." He also said the site would provide technical and distribution help to NewAssignment, which aims to encourage "smart mobs" of regular citizens to submit ideas and report the news through a process they're calling "open source journalism."
More has been divulged about NewAssignment than Daylife, including the fact that the idea came from Chris Allbritton, a former Associated Press reporter who raised more than $14,000 from readers to report back directly from Iraq. NewAssignment will seek donations and has at least $10,000 from Newmark.
In an e-mail interview Monday, Jarvis confirmed that Daylife is the company that Newmark is backing and touted last year as one new media answer to what's missing from traditional media. Jarvis declined to give a launch date.
"I'm afraid we're not saying anything more about the company quite yet," he said.
The site is under development and not yet open to public view, except one page announcing job openings. Though Newmark has said editors will be involved in the news startup, none of the positions advertised on Daylife are for editors or news gatherers.
In May 2005, Jarvis said he will act as editor-in-chief of a news startup founded by Upendra Shardanand. It was the first public mention of the site and Jarvis said he jumped at the opportunity to get involved as soon as Shardanand shared his idea.
"I have up plans to start my own blog company," he said. "The start-up remains in stealth mode."
Investor Michael Arrington said this week that he has no idea when the site will be launched or where it is in its development. He and another investor Dave Winer said they decided to invest after seeing mockups.

Product Labs necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 18 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
I am a Business Analyst and entrepreneur that owns a number of websites one of which is an Australian based motorbike site called Motorcycle Rides (http://www.motorcyclerides.com.au). Motorcycle Rides is essentially a database of motorbike rides including ride details, maps, directions and in some instances ride videos.
This project is concerned with the creative design of an iPhone app (called MotoRides) that will compliment the website offering and allow riders to access the ride details online, via the app.
Please note that Motorcycle Rides currently has an iPhone app in the app store called MotoRides (http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/moto…d402417251) that I built myself; it is basic app in features and design. It is expected that the design of V2 of the app (in which this project is about) will be far superior in the look and feel and overall design. Put simply, please do not use the previous version of the app as a starting point for these designs.
The target audience for the app is male and female motorbike riders, predominantly in the 18 - 45 year old bracket, that enjoy riding their motorbikes on the weekend and exploring new places to ride. Similar iPhone apps on the market that are focused on this target audience are BBR and Greatest Roads.
The design brief attached is focused on the UI design of screens that the app utilises across the four main features of the app, namely:
Rides: The ability to for riders to view details of motorbike rides, directions and maps
Plan: The ability for riders to to create ride itineraries (I.e. a collection of rides) to plan out a day of riding
Videos: The ability for riders to view the collection of motorbike ride videos that we have
Record: The ability for riders to record a GPS track (I.e. start point to end point plotted on a Google map) and save this "track" as a ride for future use / reference.
Please note that I am searching for great designers that are passionate about mobile applications, and have a good understanding of the unique design and usability requirements when designing an iPhone app.
The winning design will meet all of the defined requirements in the brief and have a strong focus on usability.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art for the icons etc.
Please use the attached logo file for display on the splash screen.
The final deliverable is expected to be a PSD file for each screen that has embedded all the desired layers of the final design.
A good summary of the type of design trends I would like to incorporate can be found in this article here:

This article appeared in a March 2017 issue of the student newsletter.
By Amy Loftis
Several El Centro Fashion Design students won big at the "ideation" Conference recently in New York City. Hosted by Gerber Technology, the conference "brings together visionaries, disruptors and leaders" who are changing the world of fashion.
During the conference El Centro College students competed against other colleges in a national design competition. Not only did the students have to submit sketches with technical drawings to enter the competition, they also had to draft and digitize their patterns, create tech packs, submit bi-weekly progress on social media and sew their garments. In total the process took several months to complete. At times they became so tired, pushing one another along to finish.
The end result was the exhilaration of winning an all-expense-paid trip to New York City to attend the conference and meet many fashion industry professionals. At the conference, their fashions were presented on live models. The students felt like celebrities after the event as many businesses approached them and were interested in their work.
Originally 60 students entered the competition in May 2016. By July 2016, a total of 10 student finalists were announced. El Centro College claimed six of the Top Ten spots. In August 2015, the final five were chosen with three fashion designer students from El Centro College: Maria Grisolia, Lin Savatdy and Victoria Zito. The remaining two finalists were from North Carolina State University. El Centro College student Natalia Gilca also won an honorable mention.
While attending the ideation Conference in New York, the five student finalists received a key for Gerber Acumark software worth $10,000. Also, the Grand Prize Winner was voted on by conference attendees. Lin Savadty and Maria Grisolia of El Centro College won in a tie vote, claiming the national title and an additional 3D software package worth $8,000.

For over an hour on Wednesday, America's attention shifted from the Rio Olympics to Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, where a man was scaling Trump Tower with what appeared to be suction cups.
TV news was glued to the action as police broke through windows to speak with the man. Officers finally pulled him into the building, but not before plenty of people cracked a bunch of jokes about the Olympics, and one baffling Olympic craze in particular that suddenly took on a new meaning.
[Rio2016 - USMedals] Highest Honors: American Medalists at the Rio Olympics
Michael Phelps and other U.S. athletes have been covered in circles that look like bruises, the product of a healing technique called cupping, which purportedly increases blood flow to the muscles. The practice mystified many viewers, but not quite as much as climbing a building using nothing but suction cups.
And as @NBCOlympics reminded us, sports climbing really is going to be an Olympic sports at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. But odds are the athletes will be climbing rock walls and not glass skyscrapers.

2013 is quickly drawing to a close and we find ourselves in a time of reflection and reminiscences of the last twelve months. Science blogging continues to grow and our many talented and experienced science writers are finding themselves joined by a new cohort of young energetic writers bringing new perspectives. This is an exciting international community of passionate thinkers, debaters, and science communicators. These are my picks for The Top 5 Animal Physiology and Behavior Blog Posts of 2013 (not including The Scorpion and the Frog posts and in no particular order).
On the new blog, Viruses 101, Julia Paoli, a high school student and talented science writer discusses a scientific estimate of how many unknown viruses lurk within our fellow mammals in Mammals Harbor At Least 320,000 Undiscovered Viruses.
Natalie Wolchover at Quanta Magazine pondered the value of partial honesty among animals from a game theory perspective in Hunger Game: Is Honesty Between Animals Always the Best Policy?
We all carry communities of microbes within our bodies that have now been found to be involved in our health and behavior in ways we never previously imagined. In Inspiring Science, Sedeer el-Showk talks about research linking differences in our microbiomes to hormone levels and disease resistance in Sex, Hormones, and the Microbiome.
On EveryONE by PLOS Blogs, Alex Theg tells the story of a jumping spider species that uses multiple deceptive tactics. Read about the spiders that use visual mimicry to trick predator spiders and chemical mimicry to trick predator wasps in Ant-Mimicking Spider Relies on a "Double-Deception" Strategy to Fool Different Audiences.
Felicity Muth discusses animal homosexuality in her blog, Not Bad Science. Check out her article Homosexuality in Female Beetles, and What We Can Learn from It.
Merry Christmas and stay curious!

A Lost Decade For American Families
American families got poorer in the first decade of the 21st century.
The wealth of the median U.S. household — the family at the middle of the middle class — fell from $106,000 in 2001 to $77,000 in 2010.
The fall was driven, not surprisingly, by the housing bust. Homes are the single largest asset for many families, and they represent a particularly large share of wealth for the middle class.
What's more, homes tend to be highly leveraged. People borrow lots of money to buy them. That means huge gains when prices rise — and massive losses when they fall.
Median wealth fell for families across the income distribution. Poor, middle class, and upper-middle class families all got poorer. The only group that saw a rise in was families with incomes in the top 10 percent. Homes tend to make up a smaller part of net worth for those families.
The figures are adjusted for inflation and taken from a Fed report (PDF) out today. Wealth is defined as net worth, or assets minus liabilities.

Brunel Museum
An idiosyncratic specimen of globalization, Kan was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, to a North Korean father and a Russian mother. Having caught a glimpse of the ex-USSR, she has a nostalgic, conflicting perception of political and cultural systems:
"Unable to fully assimilate into any one culture, I find myself as an outsider with an eclectic artistic taste. Art represents the act of seeking, assembling and immortalizing beauty. Through my artistic practice, I recreate the state of inspiration and emancipation, experienced during my childhood. My works strive to capture the ephemeral impressions. The concepts, which I explore in my work, include the globalization, surveillance, nostalgia, utopia and eroticism. Most recently, I was involved in exhibitions with the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), the Muse at 269 in Portobello and Herrick Gallery in Mayfair, London as well as the NYC Untitled Space and the New York Art Expo in the US."

Three Muskingum College students have been recognized by the Ohio Foreign Language Association (OLFA) for excellence in language studies.
Ryan Bobst '07, a German and international affairs major from Washington Court House; Erica Hoyt '06, who graduated from Muskingum last December; and Jocelyn Workman '07, an international affairs, French and political science major from Columbus; each were recognized for their studies in German, Spanish and French, respectively.
Bobst was recognized for his success as a German major, his study of French and Spanish and his interest in foreign language and international studies beyond work in the classroom, including his service as the Phi Sigma Iota foreign language honorary president.
Hoyt was selected for her excellence as a Spanish education major, her study of French, her service as an officer of Phi Sigma Iota and her volunteer service in the Dominican Republic.
Workman was noted for her academic achievements as a French major, her study of German and Spanish and her service beyond the classroom as president of the French Club and vice president of Phi Sigma Iota.
The three students will receive their awards at the college's Modern Language Department awards and recognitions ceremony, to be held on April 24.

In "The Details," Dr. Jeff Lang (Tobey Maguire) lives in a charming suburban Seattle home with his beautiful wife, Nealy (Elizabeth Banks), and their adorable, 2-year-old son. When we first see him, he's driving home in his Toyota Prius - which has a campaign sticker for President Obama on it, naturally - with a large, lovely plant from Trader Joe's in the backseat.
Jeff has just resodded the backyard and the place looks terrific - until one morning when he wakes up and finds that raccoons have gutted the grass overnight. Yes, these are literal raccoons but they're also metaphorical raccoons and sometimes, when things get especially weird, they're imaginary raccoons. They dig up transgressions in Jeff's life and weaknesses in his character that he'd rather suppress through his breezy smugness. Such is the obviousness of the symbolism in this black comedy that explores the ugly underbelly of seemingly idyllic domestic life.
Perhaps this story from writer-director Jacob Aaron Estes, with its drugs, adultery and murder, sounds familiar to you. A lot of movies have upended the mythology of suburbia over the past decade or so, especially following the success of "American Beauty." "The Details" doesn't do much that's new or particularly inspired to add insight to this collection, but it has some surprising moments and nuggets of clarity. And it does offer some uncomfortable truths about the tiny ways in which we try to get away with stuff, and how they grow, and how we convince ourselves they're still OK.
Jeff, for example, is expanding his family's home in defiance of local zoning laws. No biggie, no one will know. He tries to get rid of the raccoons by illegally laying out poison. Sure, killing wildlife this way is illegal, but it's all for the greater good, right? And when an afternoon drink with his best friend from medical school (Kerry Washington) - who happens to be gorgeous, and married - leads to a quick tryst in the garage ... well, it was just that one time. And Jeff felt really bad about it, or so it seemed. Maguire's boyishness masks his real emotions, for a while at least.
This is an inherently selfish person but he's not truly evil. He also shows some glimmers of decency, especially when it comes to his basketball buddy Lincoln (played by an unrecognizable Dennis Haysbert), who's struggling financially and in need of a new kidney. Relationships like that one allow "The Details" to go to more raw, personal places than the surreal, sometimes dreamlike comedy early on would suggest.
It's a frustrating movie in its inconsistency. Laura Linney, for example, is a hoot as the nutty next-door neighbor who threatens to blackmail Jeff over an affair he's having ... by trying to launch an affair of her own with him. (Her house, crammed with eccentric clutter, must have been fun to production design.) But then Banks, as Jeff's wife, doesn't get nearly enough to do, which makes a climactic reveal from her seem to come from nowhere.
And then there's Ray Liotta as Washington's husband. He initially seems like a bit of an idiotic lug, but ends up having one standout scene as the cuckolded husband who explains to Jeff in an extended monologue what it means to be a man. The straightforward way in which he cuts to the core suggests the better (and more honest) movie that might have been in here.

In the latest episode of "Hung," the main character's two teenage children bluntly tell him they're not the kind of kids he would have been friends with in high school.
Ray Drecker, a one-time teenage sports star and forever ladies man whose physical attribute gives the show its title, insists otherwise.
But the kids' rebuke smacks of truth: his daughter, unlike her slender former prom queen mom, is an overweight semi-goth, as is his son, who also grapples with sexual identity issues.
Drecker – who is undergoing identity issues himself, moonlighting as a gigolo to supplement his meager salary as a coach at the school where he was once an athletic hero – is forced to ask himself whether his children are right.
The compelling storyline in HBO's dark comedy about tiptoeing through the shards of a shattered American Dream comes to mind amid a troubling tidbit about TV's goofiest, but most accurate depiction of high school life: "Glee."
Charice, a popular 18-year-old singer from the Philippines who will appear in the show's second season, revealed this week that part of her preparation included Botox injections. (While Charice reportedly said she wants to "to look fresh on camera," her publicist insists the shots were aimed at reducing jaw muscle pain.)
"All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry (Lea Michelle's character)? So of course there is tremendous pressure," Charice said, according to The Associated Press.
Her comments say something disturbing not only about what it takes to gain acceptance in Hollywood – but in high school.
A big part of the appeal of "Glee" is the range of misfits who belong to the singing group at McKinley High. The mix of geeks, cheerleaders and athletes bond over occasional triumphs and frequent scorn – which includes getting doused with "Slushie facials" by the cold-hearted in-crowd.
"Glee," in some respects, is a modern-day "Breakfast Club" with singing and dancing – and adults who are more dysfunctional than the kids, primarily because they never mentally left high school.
Some of the best moments in "Glee" have come not from the impressive displays of talent, but from instances in which the young characters show a certain collective courage derived from their shared fate (like when the kids, in full Lady Gaga regalia, defended Kurt against a couple of gay-bashing bullies).
The show is filled with histrionics and plotting galore, along with campy, soap opera twists. But, ultimately, there is little phony about this young crew, who struggle to accept – and take pride in – themselves.
High school holds a powerful place in our memories, whether looked back at with a "Glory Days" longing, or the through the microscope of social slights that forty-something Ray Drecker is compelled by his kids to revisit.
Another "Hung" subplot deals with Drecker trying to woo his ex-wife – the high school sweetheart who dumped him for a nebbishy, but successful (at least on the surface) dermatologist. She's getting tired of the doc, but one perk is the Botox injections he gives her.
We won't preach too much about the wrongheaded message that publicizing Botox treatments for a teen sends to the young audience that "Glee" attracts. But we will offer one thought: Botox won't protect anyone from the Slushie facials high school – and life – have to offer.

In the Runango Spotlight
And no this blog is not a joke. I am happy that their thread this time concedes, in part, that all of my exercising and 9 lb weight gain may not be unhealthy.
Here's an excerpt:
1. midwives are great and capable.
2. you CAN run while pg.
3. you CAN lose weight while pg, what i mean is lose body fat, while the baby gains....
4. she is seeing someone, she is a dr. her bf is a dr. she is being looked after by people that know her much better than anyone here.
I recommend the naysayers on the thread do some research into exercise in pregnancy before they make any more vapid generalizations.
And please read my post about the 6 month 5k. The woman I met there ran through her entire pregnancy, until the day before delivery, gained 12 lbs and delivered a healthy 7 1/2 lb baby that is now a healthy 12 year old. Shortly after she did that she went to the Olympic trials.
And then take a look at Paula Radcliffe. She ran successfully through her pregnancy and just won the NYC Marathon. She also has a healthy daughter.
If anyone can come up with an example of exercise combined with proper nutrition and low weight gain leading to complications then I will take your comments more seriously.

I am sorry that you have to read this! What is funny, what you probably don't realize, is that the person starting this thread and criticizing you, is the very Allison that tried to 'help' you as a counselor. What sort of counselor ridicules someone that they think has a problem? yea. nice. Good luck to you :)

Hey, Carrie, if you read the thread you'll also see that all of my comments have a sad face or the cry face beside them. I wasn't ridiculing...I am beyond concerned and stunned by sealegsgirl. I still maintain that if you put something out on a public blog that is controversial, expect comments.

- Run Forrest said...
I think that the point to look at is that she stopped when she felt pain. If it was still hurting, she wouldn't be running. I'm not comfortable with the level of exercise either but as long as she's eating enough and the baby isn't showing signs of stress then I don't understand what the big issue is. Ultimately, it's her life and nothing we say is going to change how she lives it. If people keep pushing at her and ridiculing her then she'll close her blog like SR did and then you will all have to find someone else to pick on.

Good point, run forrest. And Allison, I don't mind comments at all. In fact, I enjoy them. But if they are a criticism of my choices during pregnancy, I'd prefer they be well-founded or at least attempt to add some new information to the discussion.

Sea Legs Girl said this: And then take a look at Paula Radcliffe. She ran successfully through her pregnancy and just won the NYC Marathon. She also has a healthy daughter.
No, Paula Radcliffe had to lessen her running and stop competing because of the pregnancy. PR did not compete for over a year while pregnant and after the birth of her child.
You post bragging comments of running 82 miles in a week and doing plenty of other workouts like bike riding. Then you point to PR as your model. Well, maybe you should have looked at what PR actually did while pregnant.
Before conceiving, PR was like every other elite runner, doing upwards of 140 miles a week. For the first 5 months she cut back to the 80-90 range. After 5 months she ran no more than 1 hour a day, and it was kept to low heart rates. She was doing, at most, 8 miles a day. That's 56 miles a week. You're bragging about doing 82, and you're not an elite runner and you're more pregnant than she was.
Unlike you, she was being closely monitored by a doctor (something you think you would do since you're a doctor).
Unlike you, PR was not doing any racing during pregnancy.
Unlike you, PR gained the accepted amount of weight.
Even given all that, her doctor was not happy about her doing it and was, in her words, "concerned" about it. This was all in the NY Times.
If this is a serious blog, and this is really what you're doing you need to head to a psych therapist today. Even if your baby comes out physically healthy, it's clear you have some sort of eating/self esteem problem that is going to affect this child as it grows up.

Forgot to mention that Paula Radcliffe had a stress fracture in her back that was caused by her pregnancy.

running coach,
I am aware of everything you wrote and pregnant women should run according to how they feel. I ran 12 miles a day but it took me 3 hours! And now all I can say is I took the last 6 days off and ran a whopping 1/2 a mile yesterday. Read the blog if you're going to criticize it!
The article about Paul Radcliffe unfortunately did not make any mention about her weight gain. Though I will say she looks a bit TOO thin now.
She did have a stress fracture after she gave birth, presumably due to the rapid change in body weight and took 8 weeks to recover, but what does that prove about the effects on the baby?
As you will see in the article "Dr. Shangold recommends using perceived effort as a guide and making sure that the effort remains moderate."
If anything, the article supports exactly what I am doing. And, yes, I do take this blog seriously and that's why I'm thrilled now that so many people are reading it.

Honestly, bashing gets old. I got nothing to add. I mean, who likes it - go ahead. Everybody wants to pretend to save the world by jumping into "ohters" lives. Like in the last video of a high school gilr breaking a leg and crawling last 40 yards to the finish - oh, look, coaches and parents are bastards and pressured her into it! These comments came after reading an article where she says she dreamed about this finish, never thought once about coach or team and was ready to embrace the circumstances on broken bones. Whatever. How about each of us decides for oneself? And let others make their own decisions and even mistakes? Is that why we bomb Iraq too - because we carry about those people? Sadam was an ass, but in his times he killed less people all together than those who died during this war, between Iraqi and American troops. All to save the world...may be let the world evolve itself? Let God do it, may be (if you're religious, what I am not, but sometimes I think why does America, which claims to be very much so, interupts God's powers?)
Good luck recovering. Enjoy your half a mile I am jealous - I overslept this morning...but then again, I had a great dream:)
- 29 November 2007 at 19:07
- Mark said...
"If anything, the article supports exactly what I am doing."
No, it does not. 82 miles plus the cross training you did is not moderate. 3 hours is not moderate. 3 hours is more than a healthy non-pregnant elite does in a day!
I cannot cite this on the web, I only know this because I work with runners extensively including friends and competitors of PR, but PR gained about 20 pounds during her pregnancy. Her stress fracture actually happened DURING child birth and recurred afterward as well. You claimed she ran successfully. She did not, she got injured.
You're right that they do not talk about any effects on PR's child. But that doesn't mean you can assume it's a healthy behavior like you're doing. You don't know, and you're willing to take a chance on the baby inside of you with something that is an unknown?
PR is an outlier from the norm. That's what makes her a great runner. You're not PR, you likely are close to the middle of the bell curve, as are most of us. As a doctor you should also know that anecdotal evidence, like PR, is no substitute for empirical data and all empirical data does not support your behavior.
I'm positive you're not going to change your behavior. It's a tragedy for that innocent child inside you. This is the perfect case for child services to look into.

Hey, sealegs, I've lurked a bit on this, having seen links to the discussion in several places. Looks like your blog has gone viral. It seems like everyone commenting here and elsewhere agrees that you're doing something healthy by continuing to exercise. It further seems like people are mostly split on what I suspect is an intuitive sense of how much exercise is healthy. And on that question, I'd expect a wide variety of responses. I assume the level of risk shifts between individuals. For some people, 35 miles a week seems like a lot. For others, 100 is pushing it. As someone who often runs on the higher end of that range, I'm sure I wouldn't be comfortable running that much if I were pregnant (I'm a man anyway, so the point is moot). That's performance mileage, not something necessary to remain healthy. Have you given your midwife the specific details of your workout regimen? Miles, hours, activities? If you've got an injury that prevents you from running more than half a mile, is there really any benefit to that half mile? Are you hooked on a consecutive streak? Isn't that strong evidence of compulsion?
At any rate, what struck me after reading many of your entries here is the preoccupation with body image. That is the big red flag to me, far more than the amount of exercising you're doing. Random and anonymous commentary from the internet hardly replaces qualified professionals, but with this many people badgering you with criticism on this issue, it might be worth further investigation. And I don't mean asking a midwife or a professional friend who might not be blunt with you. Granted, it sounds like you've been thorough already, but remember smart people can justify bad ideas (Linus Pauling) and denial is a large part of ED/OCD.
I wish you all the luck in the world. Seriously.

Hi all. As the fiancee of "sealegsgirl", I will have to leave a comment here.
I am surprised by how freaked out you people are by seeing someone excercise during pregnancy (to this degree).
I think she has done a great job showing study after study, proving the safety of pregnant running. She has shown you how there is no correlation between maternal weight gain and prematurity. She has taken the time to do this research for herself, hopefully with an eye on publication, but also to inspire people to excercise while pregnant.
"Running coach", if you are to argue with this level of research, not to mention the fact that she is a doctor, you probably need more backing than a commonsensical all-that-bumping-has-to-be-bad-for-the-baby. What are you basing all your comments on?
"Running Coach", what goes through your head when people tell you marathons "can't be safe"? You must have met people like that. I hope you see the parallel here.
If you can show any scientific evidence that running in pregnancy is dangerous, show it to us. And please realize that PRs 20 pound weight gain was very low and is more or less what "sealegsgirl" is aiming for.
The worst part is that there are thousands of pregnant women out there who harm their babies by NOT excercising and gaining too much weight during pregnancy. Where is the public outcry against these women?

- Sara said...
runningdoctor, I don't think anyone is suggesting sealegsgirl quit running while she is pregnant. Unless there are comments to a different blog date, I also don't see anyone saying "all that bouncing around is bad". I think most people with an ounce of common sense knows that is ridiculous. The issue is the extreme amount of running in addition to the other exercise, in addition to the obsession over her weight gain.
If sealegsgirl really doesn't have an eating disorder, it seems that she is performing an experiment to see how little weight you can gain while pregnant and still be healthy, which feels wrong as it's not only her body she's dealing with, your child's body and health is at risk as well.
You're right, nothing we say is going to change the way she lives her life, and hopefully your child is healthy. However,I think you're mistaking ridicule for genuine concern for your child and sealegsgirl.

I am game with SR for talking how unhealthy society is by GAINING weight (too much) during pregnancy, by feeding kids up to baloons (and telling them they are wonderful the way they are no matter what), letting them eat junk and pizza and been happy about their stuffed faces. I am also in for "coomon sense" mentality - what I do along with my friends (as in running 50-100M races over mountains that take 10-30 hrs) is considered to be crazy at least, and so on. Don't you just "love" common sense??!! I always say, if somebody out there didn't have guts to step outside a box and try - where would we be? So how about shut up and let those who are brave try? And no, Sarah, I don't think it's a genuine cocern that drives people to bash others, it's an adrenaline rush of been "involved" when own lives are boring like hell. Same comes to the news on TV and the morning papers, when all you hear is "kill, drugs, fight" - why? - because we as a nation demand adrenalin instead of focusing on how to become better persons each and on our own.

This response is to runningdoctor:
You said: "Running coach", if you are to argue with this level of research, not to mention the fact that she is a doctor, you probably need more backing than a commonsensical all-that-bumping-has-to-be-bad-for-the-baby. What are you basing all your comments on?"
I never made that point, so I am not going to respond to it. I never said any running was bad and I never said anything about bumping being bad. Please re-read my comment and if you are actually going to address what I said I will respond.
'"Running Coach", what goes through your head when people tell you marathons "can't be safe"? You must have met people like that. I hope you see the parallel here.'
I agree with them that running as much as I or elites do is likely not good for one's body. I run upwards of 125 miles a week and there is no research that shows the long term effects of that. I am pretty certain it's detrimental to my health long term. But I do not have a BABY growing inside me. I am only effecting myself as an unmarried adult. I am not potentially effecting a BABY.
'If you can show any scientific evidence that running in pregnancy is dangerous, show it to us. And please realize that PRs 20 pound weight gain was very low and is more or less what "sealegsgirl" is aiming for. '
I have no evidence that says how dangerous it is and YOU have no evidence that the amount of exercise she is doing is safe. There is evidence that moderate exercise is safe and beneficial. I urge you to find me someone who finds 3 hour runs moderate. Given than neither of us has any research to back up our opinions and given that she has a BABY growing inside her, you'd think being cautious with the life of another person would be called for. Instead your fiance is potentially endangering the life of your child, and you're aiding her. Bravo.

Uh-oh, I see you have deleted most of your blog. I hope all is well! Hopefully you are simply annoyed by runango's forum.
