U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program SSG John Nunn competes in the men's 20-kilometer race walk at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team Trials on June 30 at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Nunn, who had already qualified for Team USA in the 50K race walk for the London Olympic Games, used the event as a training walk and stopped around the 10k mark with a nagging hamstring. New York Athletic Club's Trever Barron, a 19-year-old from Colorado Springs, Colo., won the 20-kilometer walk with an American record time of 1 hour, 23 minutes and .10 seconds. He and Nunn will be the only two men race walking for Team USA in London. U.S. Army photo by Tim Hipps, IMCOM Public Affairs
Thompson Track, Te Aroha
It started as a couple of hour ride up from Te Aroha and turned into a 2 day bush bash in mud and rain.
The bikes were a Gas Gas 700SM, Honda CRF300 Adventure and my Montesa 4Ride.
The rough road up to the summit was pretty easy for all of us. Big rocks and potholes on a clay bed but no real problem. That took about 25 minutes.
Then I found a track going down the other side and we decided to follow it.
Within 500 metres was the first slip; that should have warned us off but no, we soldiered on...........and on and on a on! For hours we battled bogs, bush slips and trees.
Finally, we decided we were not going to make Katikati on the other side. The bogs were too big and the GasGas and Honda too heavy.
We turned around and started back up but the rain set in and made it harder.
We decided to leave the two heavy bikes behind and come back the next day for them. Between the three of us, we rode and hauled the little Montesa 4Ride 260cc trials based bike to the top and I rode on down to get help. On the way down, I lost the front wheel on a slippery rock, fell and tore my hamstring. It was a lot of pain but I got up and rode on.
I found a couple in town with a double cab ute who agreed to come with me to the base of the trail so we could drive the other two back to town; they finally walked out around midnight!
The next day we went back to get the bikes left behind.
I waited at the bottom with my torn hammy and acted as the emergency system just in case. The other two took my Montesa back up to cut 2-3 hours off their walk then walked into the bush to rescue the other bikes with a winch, folding spade and tree saw.
2 expert hard enduro racers had contacted me offering help so I said yes please!
They turned up abpout 2.30pm and rode in to help. Then half an hour later, 2 more riders turned up to help.
The 2nd two riders didn't go far enough to find the others and came back. They'd seen my Montesa just over the top but that was all.
By 6pm I was getting worried and ready to call emergency services (the boys had a satelite rescue device so I knew they may have set that off).
They hadn't and, just before I called emergency; they all came back down some 5 hours after entering. Our 2-3 hour adventure ride had turned into a 2 day balls out test of skill, endurance and planning. On the way up, we didn't just ride, we stopped and planned our way through every obstacle.
Nobody was hurt at all until I fell off on the way down in the rain and we all had wet weather gear and plenty of spring water.
Staying in the bush for the night would have been cold but not a life or death issue.
What a ride! What an experience a what a great bunch of people Kiwis are to drop everything, drive hundreds of km with bikes on the back to help us!
Ten years after the 2008 economic recession, the government is ill-prepared to defend itself against the next economic downturn. Interest rates remain low, partisanship remains intractable, and the federal debt is rising at an unprecedented rate. These factors will hamstring traditional monetary and fiscal stimulus.
In his new book, “Law and Macroeconomics,” Yale Law Professor Yair Listokin argues that we can respond more quickly to the next economic crisis by deploying a policy approach whose proven success is too rarely acknowledged: regulation. He proposes that we take seriously the idea that law can function as a macroeconomic tool, capable of stimulating demand when needed and relieving demand when it threatens to overheat economies. And though history has demonstrated that law is an unwieldy instrument of macroeconomic policy, Listokin argues that under certain conditions it offers a vital alternative to the monetary and fiscal policy tools.
On Tuesday, September 10, at an Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center event, Listokin presented the key findings of his research, and panelists deepened the discussion by addressing the following questions:
What role does the law play in stimulating aggregate demand?
How can laws and regulations complement traditional fiscal and monetary policy approaches to stabilizing the business cycle?
Can regulations act as an effective alternative to fiscal and monetary policy during economic downturn?
Which regulations should lawmakers implement to combat economic shocks?

Terry Stephen Puhl (b. July 8, 1956 in Melville, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian retired professional baseball outfielder. He played all or part of 15 seasons in MLB, mostly with the Houston Astros. He is the head coach of University of Houston–Victoria's baseball team and manager of the Canada national baseball team.
Puhl was called up to the majors in July 1977, and never returned to the minor leagues. He was quickly installed as the club's regular left fielder, replacing Jim Fuller. He finished the 1977 season with a .301 batting average in 60 games.
The following year he was the sole Astro selected as a National League All-Star. In the 1980 championship series against the Philadelphia Phillies, Puhl set a then NL-championship series record with a .526 batting average in a losing cause, the best performance ever by a hitter in a play-off series (It has since been superseded). As of 2010, Puhl has the ninth-best for lifetime fielding percentage by an outfielder (.993). In 1981, he was named Canadian Baseball player of the year.
A pulled hamstring in 1985 and an ankle injury in 1986 reduced his playing time, but he returned in 1987 as an effective pinch hitter. In 1988 he hit a career high .303.
After Puhl's retirement in 1991, he was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995. In November 2006, Puhl was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame.
MLB statistics:
Batting average - .280
Home runs - 62
Runs batted in - 435

Went to see the physio at work, after a friend recommended him. Been having some pain/deadness in my right leg. He is clearly a wizard, and said lots of clever things, apparently I have tight quads, long weak hamstrings and my hips drop - whatever that means! He correctly guessed that I have cramps/tightness in my calves after running too. I have some exercises to do, hopefully they'll help!

Sept. 1, 2011, 6:45 p.m. The speaker for this evening's marathon clinic is Dr. Carrie Johnston, Chiropractor, of RE:FORM Body Clinic. (See the website.) She spoke on the "Biomechanics of Running."
Her very interesting talk included:
- posture
- leaning and foot-strike
- running stride
- breathing
- common problem areas (shoulders, back, hamstrings, quads, knees)
- how to implement change
We learned many useful tips, for example, building side-to-side motion into our cross-training.
Runners would benefit from a visit to the website, for more advice and tips.

OK, so not a secret garden, but at least a walled one.
This was as far as I got on my short, very slow walk this lunchtime.
Possibly inspired by the wall to wall football on the telly, I appear to have crocked my hamstring. There was no way I would keep pace with Dave, so we went separate routes at lunchtime as I really needed some kind of activity.
A stroll to the woods was just enough.
Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose or in Sanskrit Utthita Hasta Padangustasana, a standing balancing pose that increases your mental focus, stretches the hamstrings, opens the groins and chest, lengthens and stretches various muscles and tendons that are tight from daily activities. This was during a recent hike on Webb Mountain in Monroe, CT. Practice this pose on both sides of the body. It can be practiced on the mat, using a strap as a more restorative posture while lying on the back. Hold the pose for 7-12 breaths on each side of the body. Enjoy the release.

The North Carolina Tar Heels, a power five program out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, dealt Old Dominion its first home defeat since November 2015. But in the loss, ODU gained a new starting quarterback.
True freshman Steven Williams, a graduate of Woodrow Wilson H.S. in Washington, D.C., replaced starting quarterback Jordan Hoy and backup QB Blake LaRussa in the 53-23 loss.
"When you don't have a first down in the first quarter and you have no energy on the sideline because the players feel it, you have to make the move," ODU head football coach Bobby Wilder explained. "I didn't go into this game thinking [Williams] would play."
Seeing his first action, the 17 year old Williams completed 9-of-20 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Williams added 34 rushing yards on seven attempts.
"We haven't developed an identity on offense," Wilder noted. "Stevie Williams today gave us an identity. Steven Williams is the quarterback of the Old Dominion football team moving forward."
"They just said 'let's go," Williams explained of how he learned he was about to receive his first college playing time. "My teammates were all behind me. I just had to go do my job and we'll be fine."
Old Dominion outscored North Carolina (1-2), 16-14, in the second half, after trailing the Tar Heels, 39-7, at the half.
Prior to the game, ODU learned All-Conference USA running back Ray Lawry, the program's all-time leading rusher, has a torn hamstring. Head coach Bobby Wilder reveals the injury could keep Lawry sidelined for the remainder of the season.

I've been exercising a lot lately, trying to recover from a pretty bad straining of the hamstring.
So, here I present to you - my training ground! In and around the hills in the distance, you'll find a myriad of paths and tracks - ideal for walking, jogging or biking.
Kinesiotape on the quadriceps femoris, sartorius, adductors, and tibialis anterior. Not shown, hamstrings.

Branch Warren is unbelievable! He had surgery on a torn quad tendon a few months ago. I've had tennis elbow longer than that! He bounces back from injuries that end the careers of other competitors. How he does, that I'll never know...
Warren displayed a tremendous display of muscularity combined with an incredible degree of conditioning. Even the striated hamstrings were there tonight too. As I've stated before, Branch isn't the prettiest physique up on stage, but he's always the most rugged looking. He isn't carved out of marble but he's been blasted out of granite.
James was sprinting for the try line when his hamstring went. He continued to hop towards the line & scored his third try of the day. Merry Christmas James. Image by Craig McNair.
