Thanks for all the input. I see running is the number 1 answer. I believe I will go with yoga for flexibility and injury prevention. Keep doing the suicides minus backwards (I can see where a broken tailbone could happen). Couple of miles per day of running?? May be do some 1 on 1 with my daughter.

Thanks all.

Uh-oh! Dex has gone over to the dark side! :eek:

:D

Thought you'd enjoy it.

Yes, they do. It's the new Jon Diebler autographed model. It also makes your lunch, washes your car and trims your nose hairs. :)

Baseline to baseline? Where's your partner? :eek:

Imagine if he had spelled it "metres".

Please - I just ate. :p

You are thinking of the late, great PF Flyers.

I agree that running is the best thing you can do to "get in shape" for officiating. As others have suggested, add variety to the kinds of running you are doing. (Run fast at times; run for distance/endurance at other times; etc.)

I write here to add that, whether or not you are participating in yoga, the most important thing you can do for flexibility and injury prevention is to stretch properly. For the most part, this stretching is done after your run, when your muscles are warmed up. Good luck.

When I was a kid in my old neighborhood back in the 19th century, we all wore PF Flyers. Some kid moved into the area and brought his Keds. We beat him up a few times, then he begged his mom to get him the "right" shoes. I think he grew up to be a coach.

BTW - the "PF" stood for "Posture Foundation". Just another piece of useless trivia I know. My wife says my head is "a repository of crap".

also BTW - I even know how big Scrooge McDuck's money bin is and also what those elliptical chrome holes on the sides of old Chryslers were called. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...s/driving2.gif

their is a definite need for medication for you.

OK - since no one asked - here's the answers:

Scrooge McDuck's money bin is three cubic acres and the holes on the old Chryslers were called "Cruiserline Ventaports". If there's any other useless piece of information you would like to know, just ask. You know, something like what was the name of Rootie Kazootie's dog? :)

Please dont do suicides backwards & please dont actually run backwards in ANY game. Take it from someone who had to learn in the hard way. I broke my wrist doing this. On the more serious note....it doesent look perfessional.

Most guys and gals just do a lot of running. I always have a Banana 30 min prior
to the contest.

Gala Poochie Pup. No, I'm not old like you but I do know how to Google. :)

The dog was originally named Nipper but was changed to Gala Poochie Pup when RCA stopped advertising on the show.

Thanks a lot for wasting 2 minutes of my day!
