Repairing the Effects of Stress and Trauma on Early Attachment

"A well-narrated, sumptuous book which provides chicken soup for the clinicians' soul...." read more »
—The National Psychologist
—The National Psychologist
This eloquent book presents an empirically supported treatment that engages parents as the most powerful agents of their young children's healthy development. Child–parent psychotherapy promotes the child's emotional health and builds the parent's capacity to nurture and protect, particularly when stress and trauma have disrupted the quality of the parent–child relationship. The book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework together with practical strategies for combining play, developmental guidance, trauma-focused interventions, and concrete assistance with problems of living. Filled with evocative, "how-to-do-it" examples, it is grounded in extensive clinical experience and important research on early development, attachment, neurobiology, and trauma.

I purchased these because i wanted to add some color to my wardrobe shoes. I purchased the red ones to put in my boots and I haven't been disappointed to say the least. I have only had them in a couple days and have received multiple compliments. They seem pretty good quality, though I can check in later if they seem to wear down quick. It should be noted these would probably be too short for a higher boots, but they are perfect for Chukkas.4
I bought these in 'Much Brighter' because they appeared, well, much brighter than other blue laces I'd seen. My girlfriend is a big fan of colored laces and has quite a few pair, but the electric/royal blue is a stand-out from anything else in her collection, and seemed like a perfect stocking stuffer. Unfortunately the bright color is all editing. The laces are between royal and navy blue- a pretty standard blue dress lace. Quality is not particularly impressive, and I've purchased better for a couple bucks cheaper in the men's section of our local luxury department store.
One final gripe- I bought both these and a pair of boot laces (both were off-color) and despite being sealed in plastic bags, the black label/wrapping was kind of beaten up on both- not great gifting material. I'm attempting to return these now.
These are so cute and I was really looking forward to adding some zing to my shoes, but was surprised to find these laces too short for my standard-sized shoes. My own fault, since the length is clearly stated in the description. Determine the length you need before you order!2
I received these in my December box. I was actually quite excited, because I have needed a new pair of laces for my chukkas lately. I got the green ones, and thought they were pretty cool. After about fifteen minutes with them in my boots, however, they begin to un-tie themselves. I will notice my shoes coming loose, and then realize they are completely undone. I have been double knotting them lately, which works, but I'm none to please with these laces...1
What exactly am I going to do with a set of orange shoelaces? Halloween has passed, so what other occasion should I look forward to swapping my regular laces out for these 'eye-catching' threaders??
Seriously, my wife paid good money for my gift subscription and this is what I find in my box? Went straight in the trash, what a waste! :(

As the violent anti-American protests in the Muslim world subside, those in the region and in the United States are wondering whether the upheaval will have a permanent effect.
Although by no means inevitable, these events could have a silver lining. If they spur leaders in North Africa to reassess their economic and security policies — or if they prod America to lean toward rather than away from North Africa — the region could end up being better off than it was before it erupted on Sept. 11, 2012.
There is always the possibility that the protests and violence, which were triggered in part by outrage over the video "The Innocence of Muslims," will soon be forgotten. The violence surrounding the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a Danish newspaper in 2006 were shocking, too, but few would argue they were a turning point. Those protests, however, occurred under the old status quo of the Arab world, a very different context from the volatile, uncertain and in some ways more hopeful situation that has unfolded in the past 18 months.
One way in which the recent upheaval might have a lasting effect is on how freedom of speech is (or isn't) respected in the new Middle East. Last week we witnessed a serious exchange of views on the subject among world leaders at the United Nations. President Barack Obama sought to explain to the world why Americans hold so dear the right to state even the harshest of opinions; the presidents of Egypt and Yemen presented very different views on the limits of expression.
In the past, such contrasts might have simply underscored the significant cultural differences between the Arab world and the U.S. This time, the conversation roughly coincides with efforts to write new constitutions in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. It is possible that the internal debates surrounding civil liberties in those countries will have greater sophistication after a real-world test of society's limits. Unfortunately, it is also likely that advocates of more "Western" notions of free speech will be hampered by association with the offensive video.

Down to the last takedown?
By JIM HOPKINS
All indications point to an energy-charged Jay County Wrestling Sectional Saturday with the three Adams County school set to make a run at that final AC Regional Team Wrestling slot ... or final for now.
NFL Super Bowl hopefuls
By DYLAN MALONE
By JIM HOPKINS
If both area conference wrestling tourneys follow the seedings Saturday, then the two champions will be Adams Central in the ACAC and ... East Noble in the NHC.
The Jets came out of their seeding meeting with four No. 1 seeds, three seconds, three thirds and a fourth. South Adams, which appears to be the only team who can give the Jets a run, has two top seeds, three seconds, a third, and five fours.
By DYLAN MALONE
Being an AC graduate myself, I can remember well the anticipation of winning the first round game of the ACAC tournament knowing we would be headed for the Coliseum's grand stage.
Unfortunately for Adams Central this season, that dream was crushed by the Heritage Patriots on Tuesday night when they came into the Hangar, played the best game they could play, and found the Jets on a rare bad shooting night.

"It's all fun and games 'til someone gets hurt."
Yeah, your mom issued that warning as a kid; mine, too. But who'd have thought that, years later, it would apply to a presidential election?
I mean, c'mon, you have to admit it: This dog-and-pony show that passes for a Republican presidential primary has been pretty funny so far, and only promises to get better as we march toward summer.

"It just makes no sense," an obviously bothered Fire Chief Les Marckel said, "We have more training than ever and we take a more aggressive approach (to fire safety), and yet this happens."
Marckel was speaking after this week's death of Dean Ingmire in a home fire.

Growing up in the '60s, I was always a fan of the PLANET OF THE APES movies. Not so much the later TV or cartoon series, but the films. Not only did it feature some of the best science fiction stories around but also some of the most amazing special effects makeup ever seen.
The semi-human apes were made plausible by the make up and that gave the movies something to hold on to. So when I heard they were remaking the series I was skeptical to say the least. I shouldn't have been.
By DYLAN MALONE
The lockout notwithstanding, there have already been an abundance of storylines in the NBA to follow even if you are a casual basketball fan. The shortened season has brought with it an abundance of injuries mainly due to players in full-season swing without having an actual training camp session this year. Throw in pre-season trades, controversy, and surprise teams and we have the NBA 2012 season thus far.
By DYLAN MALONE
It's that time of year again where you're supposed to make a New Year's resolution that you're going to stick to for about a week and then forget about. This year mine is not eating after 10 p.m. because I'm getting a little extra stuffing going on in the torso area and it's starting to make my wife nervous.
By J SWYGART
On this merriest of days, let me be, if not the first, then certainly the most enthusiastic of well-wishers to offer to you all a hearty "Merry Solstice."
It's my favorite day of December; heck ... probably the best day on the calendar since the chill of October muscled September out of its path.

I was a little apprehensive about trying this cake. I usually don't favor Tres Leches cake, as it is usually to wet for my taste. This recipe sounded promising and I found that it was perfectly moist, with the right amount of sweetness. The flavor of the cake is on the delicate side so if you are looking for an intense pina colada flavor, or something that is very sweet this cake isn't it. Otherwise enjoy!
Everyone that tried it, loved it. Next time, we are going to add some rum to it. Loved the whipped topping, made it a lighter-tasting cake.
Love this cake! I am not a fan of traditional tres leche cake. It is just too wet. This cake is moist and light and delicious! I made it last week for my family. They loved it. I want to make it again but I'm having trouble finding cream of coconut! I wish I remember where I bought it before.

for mass and strength gain is there a huge difference whether u choose to do 3x5, 3x3, 3x4, 2x6, 5x3 for squats?
I have been doing 3 sets of 5 reps ever since i started, but lately on my last few reps, my lower back is so tired that i cant keep it straight anymore (doing kind of a good morning on the way up) no matter how hard i try. I am worried I might injure myself if i keep doing this. I'm wondering if i can change this up somehow by either doing less sets, or reps, or both.
I'll be lifting more weight too, so instead of 305lbs 5x3, i'll be doing maybe 315lbs 3x3, etc...
drop the weight and work on form rather than be in a rush to get more weight up. if your rounding on 305 then you shouldnt do 315. form is most important. even more weight is definitely not the answer.
knock off around 20lbs or even more if you have to and get that squat near perfect. forget the rep ranges, the heavier you go the more important form is. the chances are that youve tried to get the poundage up too fast -i.e. faster than your legs get stronger.
back off until you can do your target reps with ABSOLUTELY STRICT TEXT-BOOK FORM. if need be even lower the weight further and go for volume to get it down perfect, doing sets of 8 or 10.
squats and deadlifts, utilising the lower back can cause extremely serious injuries if done wrong with heavy weight.
i spent quite a few years living and breathing powerlifting and can say one thing for certain - theres nothing impressive about a heavy squat done wrong. id much rather see a lifter squat 250lbs with dead on accurate technique, than 600lbs the wrong way.
your back will thank you.

thanks, yah i think i increased kind of fast, i was going up 5 lbs everytime i got into the gym because i was doing rippetoe's ss.
I think my form is pretty good i've been working on it for about 8 months now altogether, got hurt a few times and learned from my mistakes, i can do the first 2 sets with proper form, but by the time i'm on the last set, my lower back is so tired that no matter what i do i'm not able to keep it perfectly straight.
if youre happy with your technique then its most likely the weight. drop it for a few weeks, or even cycle it - drop down say 30 odd pounds, then build back up. squats are heavy work so you can tire easily if youre working too intensely for too long. and this can be different for everyone as we all have slightly different fibre ratios in our muscles.
good luck
For mass and strength I would keep the reps between 3-8. You should also include variation so if you have been using the same rep scheme for an extended period of time then I suggest that you do change things up a bit.
Do not underestimate occasional high rep squats to spark growth and gains as well. I typically do power movements in the 2-5 rep range and then in many cases will do a drop set of up to 20 total reps, or an endurance set where I perform a 15-20 rep max (either max reps or max reps in a certain time limit).

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Elevation Church, led by pastor Steven Furtick, has doubled its average weekly offering in the last two years to more than a half-million dollars a week, and plans to open up to five new locations costing up to $86 million in the Charlotte area, three of which it has not made public.
Those numbers are revealed in a confidential internal report obtained by the NBC Charlotte I-Team. The chief financial officer of the church confirms the numbers are accurate, but says they represent potential deals which may not materialize.
Elevation is the largest megachurch in North Carolina, and one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States. The church has kept its finances secret even from donors, asking staff and some volunteers to sign a confidentiality agreement which threatens to sue them if they disclose internal numbers.
The NBC Charlotte I-Team is withholding some numbers contained in the confidential report to minimize any harm to Elevation's pending real estate deals.
Elevation's founding principles called "The Code" state "we are all about the numbers", and emphasize a reliance on numbers as metrics for growth and success. In one promotional film for Elevation, congregation members identify themselves by the "number" of the order in which they joined the church.
Elevation proudly shares some numbers while keeping others a closely guarded secret. For instance, it totals the number of salvations as 3,785 this year through the first of September, and the number of baptisms as 3,519. It systematically counts the number of people at each service in its eight locations, now regularly totaling more than 14,000 a week.
But when it comes to money, Elevation and its pastor, Steven Furtick, refuse to disclose audited financial statements, salaries, tax-free housing allowances and contracts with for-profit publishers. The confidential report shows that for the first 35 weeks of 2013, Elevation's average combined operating and expansion offerings, excluding its Toronto location, stood at $550,775.50.
Furtick told the congregation on Sunday, October 27, that Elevation discloses finances "through external audits, as well as audited income and balance statements we make available to everyone who is a part of Elevation Church".
"That's not even close to full disclosure," said Rusty Leonard, founder of MinistryWatch, a watchdog for church donors, "First of all, it's not the full audited financial statement. It's just some pretty pictures and a portion of the audited financial statements."
A full audited financial statement contains formal notes from outside auditors. It discloses what are known as "related party transactions" which can reveal potential conflicts of interest.
Some churches such as Forest Hill Church, another megachurch in Charlotte, make the full audited financial statements public.
Elevation does not disclose its audited financial statement, even to donors and members. Instead it releases a glossy, full-color annual report. The report counts the number of breath mints one "campus pastor" eats, the number of minutes of music from the rock band AC/DC played at the church, and whether the pastor wears a V-neck shirt. It does not reveal the pastor's salary or benefits.
Furtick assured his church, "I promised that this would always be a ministry of integrity."
"Unfortunately, that's just not backed-up by the facts," said Leonard, "If he was to be truly full of integrity, he would reveal all this information."
Leonard is willing to publicly question Furtick's integrity while at the same time admire and wish him well.
"It's sad," Leonard said, "It's a great church. Pastor Furtick is a great preacher. He has brought blessings to many. And unfortunately he allowed this situation to get out of control right from the get-go of the organization of the church."
Few asked Furtick many hard questions about church finances until the NBC Charlotte I-Team reported how Furtick bought a $1.7 million home on more than 19 acres near Weddington.
"If Pastor Furtick had bought a house that was four or five-hundred thousand dollars we wouldn't be having this conversation right now," Leonard said. "And that's a big house; that's a very big house. Unfortunately he went way over the top…. and he fell into this hubris situation and he's trapped."
While non-profit religious ministries are required to make their IRS form 990 tax returns public, churches and other houses of worship can keep their finances secret.
Leonard says Elevation's secrecy hurts other churches as well.
"Non-Christians could say, 'Why are we giving these guys these tax breaks?'" he said. "In the end, it could be detrimental to the whole church community."
The 34-page confidential document produced for the Elevation Church "Expansion Team" contains a spreadsheet of the costs of five potential new locations, only two of which have been publicly revealed, a new 1600-seat worship center in Ballantyne, and a new 1200-seat worship center at the former Palace Cinema off of West Catawba at Exit 28 off of I-77 near Lake Norman.
The planning document breaks down land prices, construction costs, upfit costs and soft costs for three more churches in Rock Hill (SC), the University area and Matthews.
The numbers include more than $9 million for audio, video and lighting alone.
Elevation Chief Financial Officer James "Chunks" Corbett emailed NBC Charlotte a statement saying, "While the numbers are accurate they represent far more than our church is undertaking…. Other projects identified in the report you have come into possession of represent potential opportunities we are looking at in the future…. Furthermore, to total these projects assuming they are all going to happen would be categorically false as many are options for the same project and some may never materialize."
As a religious non-profit, when Elevation buys a property, that property no longer generates property tax revenue.
So it's a fair question not just for Elevation donors but for all of us as taxpayers: What are we getting in exchange for these tax breaks? And what is Pastor Steven getting? The law does not require him to tell you – and he's not going to.

The Great Debate (India)
from For the Record:
Counting quality — not characters — in social media
Dean Wright is Global Editor, Ethics, Innovation and News Standards. Any opinions are his own.
Are we too connected?
In recent days and weeks I've been wondering if our mobile phones, Blackberries, text messaging and constant access to email and social media have brought us too close together for our own good.
Or maybe the quality of our connected life is only as good as the information we share.
At this point, social media and microblogging phenomena like Facebook and Twitter focus on short answers to such generic questions as, "What are you doing?"

The entire state is now under an air quality health advisory. The Department of Natural Resources extended the warning Tuesday.
This is the second air quality warning issued by the DNR this winter. The first was in late December.
The advisory was put out because of the high concentration of soot in the air and the lack of strong winds.
The air quality index is at the orange level. It's considered unhealthy for people in sensitive groups, like children, the elderly, and those with asthma or heart and lung disease.
If you fall in one of these categories, health officials say you should avoid strenuous activities.

I cover Brazil, Russia, India & China.
More global real estate investors say Russia a more attractive real estate investment than Europe.
According to a 45 page report by Ernst & Young, released last week, 87% of roughly companies surveyed said Russia was an attractive or very attractive investment for properties, while 83% said the same about Europe. Within the margin of era, that makes Russia as good, if not better than Europe when it comes to the global property market.
The most active investors in this space are private wealth management firms gobbling up lower cost Russian properties, with 57% saying they were the most active investors in the country followed by Real Estate Investment Trusts.
Moscow is expected to be the most sought after spot for commercial real estate investors, with REITs going after retail space outside of the city. Meanwhile, demand for residential properties will be hottest in Russian cities with populations of a million-plus. In Moscow, luxury and higher end homes is the focus in the billionaire capital of the world.
According to the companies surveyed, which include large banks and insurance firms, their Russian real estate portfolio is expected to increase this year with 84% of respondents saying they'll close more deals this year compared with 57% saying so in 2012. As a result of this burgeoning demand for Russian property, housing and commercial real estate values are expected to rise, though the report did not estimate by how much.
See: Russian Asset Investment Trend Indicator – Ernst & Young
No problem for REITs making profits in Russian real estate, but what does it do for the low-income sector in Russia?
According to Feb 14, 2012 Vedomosti article, many Russians have a problem with substandard municipal infrastructure.
- Central heating lacking in 8% of homes.
- 11% of homes don't have a water supply
- No toilets in 12% of residences.
- No hot water in almost 20% of homes.
- Over 30% of urban housing doesn't have natural gas.
Could this be that they just want to ´´explode´´ the real estate market in Russia? The former Birmania country is exploding too.
Oh ya, The hottest new thing is buy land in the freezing Arctic just like the last great real estate idea to buy land in the FREAKEN DESSERT! aka Dubai. How humans are so stupid not to look at land that as natural resources, perfect weather climates and geographical development foundations for modern society infrastructure that we have not yet once explored is beyond me.

A research scientist at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine has received a Michelson Grant to pursue an innovative approach to nonsurgical animal sterilization.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 02, 2014
Prema Narayan, Ph.D., associate professor of physiology at the School of Medicine in Carbondale, received a three-year grant from the Found Animals Foundations Michelson Prize & Grants in Reproductive Biology totaling $581,287. Her project, Targeting the luteinizing hormone receptor to induce infertility aims to develop a single-dose, nonsurgical sterilant for cats and dogs. She is studying a receptor found predominantly in ovaries and testes, known as the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR). This receptor is vital for fertility.
Our hypothesis is that selective ablation of cells in the gonads that express LHR will result in sterility for both males and females, Narayan said.
Her lab will create an immuno-toxin containing a hormone called chorionic gonadotropin. This material will be tested as a novel sterilant, or chemical agent, that will function by ablating gonadal cells with LHR.
The project could result in a nonsurgical approach for animal sterilization. Availability of a single-dose sterilant that can be administered in a shelter will be cheaper than surgery, may increase the chances of the animal being adopted, and prevent unnecessary euthanasia of companion animals, Narayan said.
Michelson Grants are awarded to researchers in pursuit of an innovative approach to nonsurgical animal sterilization. The $25 million Michelson Prize will be awarded to the first entity to provide the foundation with a single-dose, permanent, nonsurgical sterilant that is safe and effective in male and female cats and dogs.
Narayan joined SIU School of Medicine in 2005. She previously was a research scientist at the University of Georgia where she first started researching reproduction. Narayan was a postdoctoral research associate at Case Western Reserve University (1988) and received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota (1984). She received her bachelors and masters degrees from Bangalore University, India. Her research interests include gonadal development and fertility and the development of hormone drugs.
The mission of SIU School of Medicine is to assist the people of central and southern Illinois in meeting their health needs through education, patient care, research and community service. SIUs research efforts cover a wide range of basic and clinical sciences. More than 170 research projects funded by outside organizations, primarily federal agencies, are underway in 100-plus laboratories. For information, call 217-545-8000, or visit http://www.siumed.edu.
Founded by philanthropist Dr. Gary Michelson, Found Animals is an independently funded nonprofit that works to achieve one goal to find the big ideas that help reduce the number of pets euthanized each year in shelters. In 2008, Found Animals launched the $75M Michelson Prize & Grants in Reproductive Biology to incentivize research through prize philanthropy and grant funding to rapidly develop a single-dose, nonsurgical sterilant for male and female cats and dogs. For more information on the Michelson Prize & Grants, visit http://www.michelsonprizeandgrants.org, or connect with us on Facebook.

"A romantic dream," this 1906 hotel is just steps from Trevi Fountain and the Villa Borghese. The Grandluxe rooms offer extended space and "old-world charm," while the Via Veneto Suites are decorated in Biedermeier style with marble-bedecked living rooms and chandeliers. "Each floor's lobby is like a museum, with gorgeous paintings, statues, and furniture." Feast on "a very good Mediterranean buffet" for lunch or dishes from the à la carte menu at Doney Restaurant, including risotto with wild asparagus, mint, and Morolo cheese. "Staff are amazing at remembering who you are."

Remarkable, elegant hotel, conveniently located for touring. Sophisticated and top notch in appearance, but lacking in customer service.

Guys & Girls:
I'm really not that social, but the people I have met that I desired to stay in contact with are great. I know the kind of people I want to be around, so other people aren't usually a problem. If I do have to interact with other people, they're usually courteous.
Guys & Girls:
NO complaints. You're always going to have that one group that may be stuck up, but there are plenty of people who are more friendly and willing to make new friendships and connections. Students have their own trends.
Guys & Girls:
Most of the students that go to Jewell are sensible and smart and typically are well-groomed and friendly.
Guys & Girls:
Oh So Stylish – You expect to see a lot of lounge pants and over-sized sweaters from college students. Not at William Jewell. Everyone always looks their best, no matter how early their first class is. A lot of people enjoy the Perch (campus cafe) and the Cage (campus burger joint) in the Union, so a lot of people hang out there. You know everyone you see because the campus is so small. You can easily build relationships at William Jewell; everyone is so accepting.
Guys & Girls:
There are some pretty distinct groups at Jewell. You have your athletes, the hipsters, the sorority girls, the frat boys, the GDI's and the musical kids. People don't stick to their own clique though, most of the Jewell students will venture out to another group of friends.

"Swapping Cars" doesn't sound like an exotic way to spend a summer vacation. But that's what I have been doing while I have been away.
After my mother died last December, my dad decided he didn't need the 2008 Impala he bought last summer. A 2007 Buick is already parked in the garage. So he decided to give me the car and take ownership of my 2003 Cavalier.
That requires exchanging car titles and licenses. The exchange of car titles was fairly easy, albeit somewhat expensive. But exchanging the licenses is another story.
Northeast Ohio has had, for a long time now, a program called "E-Check". The "E" is short for emissions; something the government long ago decided was necessary for the Cleveland area, considered heavily polluted. So my old car had to pass E-Check in order to have the license transferred over from my dad's "old" car.
That required a wait. We had the titles exchanged on the Thursday before the 4th of July. But Friday was considered a state/federal holiday, and the 4th, of course, WAS a holiday. So the E-Check test had to wait until Monday.
Since my old car is nearly six years old, I wasn't sure it would pass. But it did. So I have driven back to the Mid-Ohio Valley in a one-year old, but virtually "new" car.
Maybe next summer, I'll do something really exotic. Like swap homes.

Advice needed please ...
I'm scheduled to run my first half marathon at the end of November. At the moment I'm on course to run around 1:38 (based on my current training times) - with a good training plan (and staying injury/illness free!!) could I run close to 1:30 by the time of my race or is that wishful thinking?!
I currently run 5 times pw and cover 30-35 miles pw on average (mixed up between speedwork, hills, shorter runs (5-6 miles) and longer runs (10-13 miles))
If anyone can offer advice/training suggestions/similar experiences it would be greatly appreciated!
Charlotte - Could you give an example of a typical weeks training? Maybe last week?
Can you comfortably run sub 7 min miles?
Typical training for me is 3 x 5/6 mile runs pw (1 steady, 1 incorporating speedwork (200-800m flat out with jog recovery and 1 with 3miles @ threshold with 1-1/12 mile warm up & cool down)) plus 1 long run (10/12 miles) and a 3 miler.
Currently my mile times are approx as follows:
3 miles - 6 3/4 min miles
5 miles - 7 min miles
10k - just over 7 min miles
10 miles + 7 1/2 min miles
It sounds very doable Charlotte, I train slower than that but can run under 1.30.
I guess the next question is how long have you been running?
The times above are my at the upper end of my threshold mins per mile - most of my training is at a slower pace.
I ran as a teenager (back in the 90's - ) then stopped competing and just went for the occasional run and mainly kept fit in the gym through my 20's. I started running at the gym regularly (3/4 times pw) last October and have started properly again since Feb/March this year.
Increase your longer runs up to half your weekly milage but do this only once a month.
Do some 5k parkrun races at least one a month.
Every two weeks do some speed track work and/or tempo runs/ tempo intervals.
Hill work can be incorporated into the parkruns if you can find a suitable course.
I did this kind of training and on less than 35 miles a week did last years GNR in 1:31. Didnt even feel the hills people speak of and flew the first 10k in 42 minutes.
Miles 8-11 were tough pace wise but because I had done long runs of 13+miles I knew I could run it so I excepted the flutulations in pace and come mile 11 just went for it and put the hammer down. Thats what parkruns give you and often what gets a pb for me.
So, more miles, threshold work, dedicated track work.
Also if you can safely lose any weight, and I emphasise safely, think of ways you can. It does make you faster if all else is equal. Right now I am just under 70kg my HM was done at 75kg and I know I am faster and stronger now.
Fortune favours the brave
Good luck, let us know how you get on.
Listen to KK.
Though she does go on about non-running stuff too often she can run rather well;)
(I am now off to hide)
Thanks for the advice guys - much appreciated
Re the weight loss I'm currently 9 stone (5'8") and my body fat is around 16-17% (I'm 31) is this OK or do I have scope to drop a pound or two?
I'm doing a 10k towards the end of August so I will let you know how I got on and may want to pick your brains (again) about where I go from there towards my 1/2 marathon!
best luck, let us know how get on
I would say you have the potential to go sub-90. If your local parkrun is flat then use it for tempo runs, trying to get used to running at your target half marathon pace (6.50m/m). It would also be useful to do some parkruns at about 10k pace (6.30m/m at a guess) and then a flat-out 5k (as fast as you can!). Although conversions from 5k to HM do depend a lot on your endurance, it would give you a guide as to your fitness and help you select a target, as will the 10k at the end of August.
I make your BMI 19 so it is unlikely you have a huge amount of excess weight and I doubt it would be sensible to try and lose any - you'll probably end up getting ill or injured as a result.
Best of luck!
That gives you a Marathon time of around 2:38-2:40
Is that correct really ?
Those of you who run 1:30 and below what kind of mileage do you do per week when training for a HM?
Also pardon my ignorance but what is a 'Championship Time' please?

If you belong to a UKA running club and get a certified sub 1.30, you get into the London marathon on a special start that usually starts before the main start behind the elite women. Plus you get extra toilets and a really cool low mara number. It's the reason I joined a running club, to claim my place. Worth it

oooh - sounds pretty cool!!
I don't belong to a club at the moment although I have been thinking about finding one in my area (Norwich) - have you noticed a significant improvement to your running since joing a club or not?

No, I train on my own and just race for the club, but I'm an established runner. If your club does proper track sessions etc, it could be of benefit. Join an established one that stretches its faster runners.
See below -
I have a mere GFA marathon time, it is much harder to get a Championship time.
