A friend recently posted his Monday Motivational Discussion, how do you feel when someone calls you jogger which of course led to my response. "It bothers me less. I used to want to punch people in the throat. I think the word should be eliminated. Do we have any other sports with different terms for recreational vs professional? Was jogger a cool word that has become derogatory or was it intended negative? I am going to Google jogger now..."
My quick search led to the fact it is coach and Nike founder Bill Bowerman's fault. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/jogging Also the accepted jogging running threshold is the 10 min mile. What do you think?

30 Challenges for 30 Days of Growth
"Scientists have suggested that, with a little willpower, it takes roughly 30 days for a person to form a new habit. As with mastering anything new, the act of starting and getting beyond the preliminary stage where everything feels awkward is 80% of the battle. This is precisely why it’s important to make small, positive changes every day over the course of at least a 30 day period." A great list of challenges from Marc and Angel. Are you ready to create some new-good habits? I know I am. Ingredients:
1 hamburger bun (I'm going to experiment with alternatives) 1 T olive oil 2 t chopped garlic 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 t grated lime rind (I occasionally omit this) 3/4 t chili powder 1/2 t oregano 1/2 t salt 1 large egg (I occasionally omit this) Yield: 4 patties 1. Place bun in a food process, process until you have about 1 c crumbs, transfer to mixing bowl. 2. Put beans, oil and garlic in food processor, pulse until you get a thick paste. Scrape bean mixture into a bowl. 3. Stir in remaining ingredients. I often omit the egg and use lime rind when I have it. I think the egg makes it too wet to work with. 4. Heat 1 t olive oil in a pan, I've actually omitted this too, the recipe called for 2 T, my patties were swimming in oil, I didn't like it. They cook better if you just coat the pan lightly. To make the patties, depending on what ingredients you used and how wet your burger is, you can either use your hands or just spoon them into the pan and form them into patties in the pan which is what I do now. They cook fast, maybe 3 minutes a side or less. They brown and look like regular burgers. A suggested serving is a slice of tomato, avocado, grated asiago cheese, basil and salt. Other options are spicy mustard or hot sauce. I often serve mine naked (no bun) with hot sauce. Also experiment with the spices, I might try cayenne pepper next time. Enjoy! I never knew I'd have so much fun creating race training plans. I'm working on a plan for a friend to run their first half and full marathons in 2014. My plan is very cross training friendly, so if you are a triathlete, cyclist, swimmer or other this worked for me. My focus is on avoiding injury, finishing and fun. It can also work to help you improve your pace. This will be an add on to my health coaching practice most definitely.
