It seems (to this non-degreed fella that's done OK in life) that even having a Bachelors degree these days is no longer "good enough" in many fields of work. Just to get a Fisheries Technician job (i.e. entry level field grunt) in Alaska usually requires a Masters degree.

If you focus on lifting your knees a little more, you'll naturally land about mid-foot. Heel-strike puts a terrible shock on your ankles and knees but mid-foot lets your muscles and tendons be shock absorbers. Finally, heel-strike actually decelerates you with every step, while mid-foot conserves your forward momentum. It may take a little practice but much worth it. I wish I'd known this for my first 20 years of running. Now I can barely get up the stairs due to knee problems.<br /><br />Just lost our two barn cats. Don't know what happened, they disappeared - one a month ago, the other last week. I hope some neighbor is feeding them but fear the worst.<br /><br />Our six guinea hens are great for tick control.Contrarian Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694963568572098322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-89771172007984499362020-10-20T10:31:08.126-04:002020-10-20T10:31:08.126-04:00Way to go, Bella!
