Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why have I recently started experiencing extremely salty sweat?

« on: 31/08/2012 02:53:21 »

I have never had any sort of alcohol ever.
Powdered Gatorade and an off brand (from aldi) Gatorade. I wouldn't say I've drank any more than normal (atleast before it happed). But, I might try cutting it down and see what affects it has.

Physiology & Medicine / Why have I recently started experiencing extremely salty sweat?

« on: 29/08/2012 22:50:24 »

I have been a very fit and active person for my whole life (almost 19 years now). In that time I have ran 2,000+ miles of which some where sprints, regular paced runs, and marathons. I have also done many triathlons and played soccer and basketball among other sports.

So, what I am wondering is Why, all of the sudden, I have extremely (I mean it taste like ocean water), salty sweat. I have occassionally had the irriated eyes from sweat getting in them, but never as bad as the last few runs where I'd just lick my lips and there was that much salt. These sweats have also been pretty intense, as in the amount for the work done and the temperature.

The temperature and humdity isn't any outrageous, 80 degrees and not very humid. I haven't been running as much as I would of like to be running while training for the next marathon, so you can say I am "a little out of shape" but I have been running this whole last month and the last two runs I just started noticing it. Luckily though I haven't had any sort of muscle issues. I have, though, noticed I can't run as fast, ex I did a 10k last week at a 6:35 pace, but all I can get myself to do on a 4-5 miler is 7:45+..

School has started back up again and I will admit to my sleeping and diet not being regular anymore. When I say my diet isn't regular anymore I am saying that I used to eat breakfast at 6am, lunch around 12 and supper around 6pm. But now that I am in school and have a classes 10-7:30, I haven't been eating supper until I get home say around 8:15. As far as sleeping, only been getting 6 instead of 8.

Needless to say, to combat this I have been drinking more sports drinks throughout the day than the water I normally drink.

Anything you guys got to help me figure this out would be awesome!
Thanks,
Simulated

Physiology & Medicine / Re: White vs Chocolate Milk for Recovery

« on: 21/03/2012 00:58:19 »

No, I live in Ohio. CMilk seems to be getting more and more popular as a recovery drink according to a runners world poll I saw a few days ago.
(Postrun Refreshments
Good old H2O tops readers' list of favorite drinks to down after a race or hard workout, according to the nearly 5,000 respondents of a recent runnersworld.com survey.
 
Water 31%
 Chocolate milk 26%
 Sports drinks 20%
 Beer 15%
 Other 5%
 Juice 2%
 Wine 1%)

Being an intelligent 18 year old, I am all about the top 3. I use them very much randomly, but water, sport drinks, then milk in that order)

Physiology & Medicine / White vs Chocolate Milk for Recovery

« on: 20/03/2012 22:55:59 »

Hello TNS! It has been a long while!

I've been wondering the answer to this question, although I believe I know the answer, for quite sometime. Everyone seems to be all about drinking chocolate milk for recovery after physical activity. I strongly feel that people push chocolate milk because kids consider it tastier. My question is, is regular milk  just as good or does adding chocolate power EITHER/OR liquid actually add something beneficial.

Thanks in advance!

General Science / Why is the store bought frosting not freezing?

« on: 12/09/2011 23:15:23 »

My high school always had these homemade reeses we could purchase as extras for our lunch. Upon graduation I got the recipe and have made a few batches since. Each time I do as it says, melt icing in microwave spread over peanut butter mixture and freeze. They have been in the freezer for 48 hours and the topping is still sticky!

Is there any scientifical reasoning why?
What can I do so it does freeze?

Thanks in advance,

Hello TNS! It sure has been quite a long while since I have posted here. I have just be busy with everything life has thrown at me. I would love to share some stories, but there are some things that I must go get done. But, before I head out I just wanted to put this into your guys memory bank.

I am participating, well will participate if I gather the $650 dollars required of me, in a bike ride to end cancer called the Pelotonia. The website has lots of information about the ride and what not. The best thing is 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research as the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Here's my Pelotonia page. http://www.mypelotonia.org/riders_profile....MemberID=133684 and this is what it says

"Hello and welcome to my Pelotonia page!

My name is Ryan Kraner, I'm 17 years old and I am beginning my college career at the Ohio State University Lima Campus in September, which is how I got connected to such a great event called the Pelotonia. As the website states, "Pelotonia is a grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research as the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center."

Around 4 months ago I got a letter from the United States Air Force Academy saying that I wasn't going to offered an appointment to the Academy. That news really hurt me. I was extremely upset that I wouldn't be able to do what I really wanted to, but through the last 4 months I've opened my eyes even more then I have ever had them opened in the past. It could have been worse, I could gotten into a car accident, any number of things, or maybe I could of gotten diagnosed with cancer. I have set out to take what I have been handed and make the best of it, which is exactly what I'm doing here. I'm working to help those who got more disappointing news then they weren't accepted to where they would like to go to college.

I would appreciate any donation you can help me gather for those who are in desperate need for a cure for this life altering disease. 1/2 males and 1/3 females will be diagnosed with caner, so think of this as an insurance policy incase one day the doctor tells you you've got cancer, but it's curable thanks to your efforts in the past!

Thank you so very much!!"

Any donation you could make would awesome!
I'll be sure to stop by here a little more often and say hello =)

Thanks!

« on: 04/06/2010 23:03:22 »

I have these annoying .modd and .moff files from a video editor and video organizer thingy that I want to hide. That way everytime I go into the folder to look for videos I don't see 2 useless files for every video.
I know how to hide one at a time. There has to be a way to do it on a massive scale.
Thanks in advance.

Roofing is fun, I like doing it.
I'm doing good, not to much to complain about. Just living life to the most I can and making the best of it.
Actually we just picked up two cars yesterday. This is all of them we have right now, without the motorcycle and the boat.



Glad you're feeling pretty good Karen.
Hah, yup she's doing fine. Haven't had anything glued to my floor for awhile.

Geek Speak / Is there anything I can do about this other than buy a new card?

« on: 29/06/2009 20:36:30 »

I have a SD card for my video camera, it doesn't read it from the camera so I have to pull it out everytime I want to move videos from it and put it in a reader (which is kind of dumb because it reads the 2gb one) but anyways, because i've been doing that for a year now it got to the point where it has lines on the metal part from the taking it in and out all the time. it won't read it in the reader, it says it needs to be formated, but if i do it i'll lose everything and i have some stuff i need off of it. and it won't even recognize it in the camera anymore.
is there anything I can do to make it work?

Physiology & Medicine / How can I stop thinking so I can get to sleep faster?

« on: 21/06/2009 04:05:42 »

When I go to bed I lay there for atleast 45 minutes sometimes up to 2 hours not able to fall asleep, (I don't know how people can just hit the pillow and fall asleep, I can't even do that if I'm super tired) I'm pretty sure it's because I can't stop thinking. It's either a song, or the day, or what's to come, anything. And I can't get to sleep, it kind of stinks. Any suggestions for me to try so I can fall asleep faster.

Physiology & Medicine / Why do I sweat more when I stop running then while running?

« on: 21/06/2009 03:59:24 »

Since it has been getting hotter I've noticed that I don't sweat much while I'm running, but once I stop the sweat just comes out in buckets.
Is this because while I'm running the sweat is evaporating off of me that fast and when I'm stopped it doesn't evaporate?
Thanks
