The division's Licensing Section and Market Conduct Section cooperated in providing the requested service. The response of the licensee was so positive that the director would like to offer the same service to other surplus lines brokers. The division's staff starts with a review of a licensee's organizational structure including the job descriptions of all personnel. The division may request to review some surplus lines files to gain further understanding of the particular licensee's method of operation. In cooperation with a licensee's management, division staff will develop a presentation specific to a licensee's needs. The presentation, preferably to as many of the licensee's staff as possible, will explain Alaska's regulatory structure including an overview of Alaska's producer licensing requirements. The presentation will also cover particulars of the Alaska Surplus Lines Law, focusing upon file documentation and the required actions for compliance with Alaska's statutes and regulations. During the course of these presentations, questions are encouraged so that all participants become comfortable with Alaska's approach to insurance regulation. Division staff will be available to work with the firm or individuals in the firm regarding general and specific licensing requirements. Finally, discussions with management will focus upon assisting the licensee to structure its processing and organization so that they are in compliance with Alaska's law with a minimum of disruption to existing procedures. Depending upon the size of the firm, the entire process should take two to four days. The division is able to offer this service to surplus lines brokers at cost. The surplus lines broker will provide or pay for travel and related expenses. Any firm interested in additional information, may contact Linda Brunette, licensing supervisor, or Stan Garlington, insurance market analyst. Effective this day May 14, 1991.

Ideology (International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis)
The word ideology refers to the study of ideas, a form of general or abstract discourse, immobilized thought (Piera Aulagnier, Sophie de Mijolla-Mellor), or any doctrine claiming to justify a collective activity of a political, religious, artistic, or other kind. When Antoine Destutt de Tracy in his Mémoire sur la faculté de penser (vol. 1, 1796-1798) andements d'idéologie (1801) coined the word as an attempt to create a science of ideas, he remained nominally a Platonist in that he did not conceive of the term as derogatory, which it has since become. However, the Platonic "ideology" Alexandre Kojève described in his Essai d'une histoire raisonnée de la philosophie païenne (vol. II, Platon et Aristote) was not only a science of ideas but claimed to be the science of objective reality, the Cosmos noètos conceived by Plato as the real, or essential world, interposed between the One and the sensible world (Cosmos aisthètos). Destutt de Tracy claimed to be an ideologue, as did Pierre Daunou, Constantin-François Volney, Pierre Cabanis, and Dominique Garat, but the term was used deprecatingly by Napoleon and François René de Chateaubriand.
In the work of Karl Marx, ideology assumed a critical sense that displayed the opposition between the "noble" sense given to it by Destutt de Tracy and its opposite, purely negative meaning; this opposition is itself "ideological." In the German Ideology, ideology is always the reflection of an alienation, an alienation obscured by the material conditions that determine the representations that constitute that alienation. Ideology, as an expression of alienation, is essentially incapable of grasping the dialectical relationships that unite or resist those representations. By extension any non-critical system of representation is considered an ideology, for example, Catholic ideology or even Marxist ideology understood as the dogmatization of the results of Marx's critical thought (Leninism, Stalinism, etc.). Ideology would then be seen as the discourse of a class, a party, or an association that seeks to achieve or achieves cultural, political, economic, intellectual, spiritual, or other domination over society and individuals.
The essence of ideology could therefore be to weld a "collectivity" into a defensive system of representations based on an unconscious causality, material or structural, involving realities such as the Family, the Nation, the Army, the Church, the State, and so on. These can then be understood as ideological entities, just as "fixed" as individual doctrines or representations. "System," superstructure, doctrine, dogma, and so on, then become other possible synonyms for ideology.
Sigmund Freud gathered up all these meanings to express a "vision of the world" (Weltanschauung) whose various forms of representation philosophy elaborates in thought, which would make his research into truth the pinnacle of ideology. For philosophy is the work of sublimation while ideology, as Piera Aulagnier has shown, is an avatar of the desire for "self-alienation" (Les Destins du plaisir, 1979). Ideologylways and everywhereorresponds to a "sublimated abandonment to an abstract idea" (Freud, Sigmund, 1921c). But as Sophie de Mijolla-Mellor has noted, "it isn't a question of sublimation but of intellectualization or desexualized abstraction; we do not give in to an idea but to its author, whether a group or an individual" (1992). Radical ideology might be a form of destructive madness to the extent that ideology tends to exclude conflict and sharply reduce ambivalence, thus resembling the discourse of schizophrenia.

Hostgator Dedicated Servers and Coupon Code Availability
When you have a business on the Internet, it could be worth it for you to check out HostGator for your dedicated server hosting instead of using shared servers. When you do this, no one else will be able to affect if your website is online all the time or not, except for the amount that you are running through the server itself. It will cost quite a bit more than just using the shared servers, so if your website is just for recreational purposes and not for running a business, you might not find it worthwhile to switch to a dedicated server.
A dedicated server is available for anyone running off Linux or Windows and there are four different plans you can choose from, including Basic, Standard, Elite and Pro. Depending on what you need for your business and how much money you want to spend each month will help you to make your decision on which package is best for you.
A large majority of businesses have to have more than one computer running on the server, likely meaning that there are several different IP addresses as well. You can include up to thirteen IP addresses going through dedicated servers, but with shared servers they can only hold one IP address. Therefore, dedicated servers are perfect if you have several offices or you work from a home business with others working in their own homes.
The biggest difference between the plans is how much memory is on the servers. You may have from 2GB to 8GB, depending on what you will need. A business which is smaller will just need the smaller amount, however if your business grows, it could be worth it to check into investing a bit more money so you will be more efficient with any orders. You'll also need to check out the processor when it comes to your efficiency. If you will be doing a lot at the same time, than a quad core processor is the perfect choice. Some business will be able to run off of dual core processors instead. If you aren't quite sure what all of this means, it is worth it to take the time to read on about it on the Internet, or speak with an IT technician who can make the decisions for you. A lot of businesses will need the IT tech, especially when it is an Internet business, so it's worth finding one either way.
Any dedicated server will come with the same support which a shared server does. You will be able to use the site builder, or use your WordPress or Joomla, plus you can use the same cPanel which you are used to. The only thing that will differ is that it will run much faster and you can do a lot more.
Helping With the Cost
Since a dedicated server will cost you a lot more than a shared server, you will be glad to know that there is usually a HostGator coupon code 2014 available. Depending upon what you need, you can find different deals, such as a certain amount of money of your total cost or so many months for free. You need to decide what kind of plan you are looking to go with first, then find a coupon that will best suit your needs. Keep in mind that the coupons all have expiration dates, so be aware of this when you are trying to choose the right one so you don't miss out on a great opportunity to save.

"Greenurbia is the suburbs of the future. The suburbs of the 1950s were bedroom communities for people who commuted into the city. Today, there's much more employment in the suburbs, and the big change is the number of people working full-time or part-time at home. Having people commute from one computer screen to another doesn't make sense."
Kotkin has a striking ability to envision how global forces will shape daily family life, and his conclusions can be thought-provoking as well as counterintuitive. It's amazing there isn't more public discussion about the enormous changes ahead, and reassuring to have this talented thinker on the case. — Jennifer Ludden, NPR national desk correspondent

about the exhibition
International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 11.1
Devon Dikeou
Austin, TX
March 24–May 22, 2011
ABOUT THE ARTISTDevon Dikeou is an Austin-based artist, curator, and collector, as well as the editor and publisher of the collaborative curatorial publication zingmagazine, which she founded in 1995. "I have concentrated my artistic efforts in defining the spaces that act as interfaces between the artist, the context of viewing the art gallery/museum/street/magazine-and the collector," says Dikeou. "The visual means I employ distinctly reiterate or re-enrich Conceptual models in their physical reality, often reinterpreting these models through an autobiographical twist."
Dikeou received her MFA in 1988 from the School of Visual Arts in New York, New York. She has had many solo exhibitions, including those at Domy Books, Austin, Texas (2010); 179 Canal, New York (2010); artMovingProjects, New York (2008); CANO estudio, Madrid, Spain (2004); and Mamco (Musée d'art moderne et contemporain), Genève, Switzerland (2003). Her recent group exhibitions include Obfuscation, James Fuentes LLC, New York (2010); Re-Accession: For Sale by Owner, The FLAG Art Foundation, New York (2009); and On from Here, Guild & Greyshkul, New York (2009). Dikeou has also participated in numerous art fairs, among them The Independent, New York (2010); NADA Art Fair, Miami, Florida (2010); and Hohenthal und Bergen: Statements, Basel Art Fair 29, Switzerland (1998).
Devon Dikeou's Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys continues her ongoing exploration of the complicated relationships among artists, curators, collectors, spectators, and the art that circulates among them. This time the subject is jazz, widely recognized as America's only native art form. In this exhibition, the artist acts as curator, critic, and detective, and asks that the viewer also take on and learn from these roles.
Spanning the length of a constructed wood-paneled wall in the gallery are 56 color photographs arranged in haphazard, multi-layered rows. Each 8x10-inch image depicts a metal nameplate against a wood background, each shiny plate engraved with the first and last name of an American jazz musician. The photographs, which range from clear and crisp to fuzzy and out-of-focus, are mounted on blocks of stained wood and set behind Plexiglas.
The casual viewer would not easily recognize most of the names on display, many of which are obscure to non-experts in jazz. The only clue to their individual and collective importance is that each was originally memorialized on a metal nameplate, has been photographed, and is re-presented in Dikeou's installation. Only after spotting iconic names such as Miles Davis or Nat King Cole does the viewer begin to understand that the series is comprised of the names of jazz musicians. Armed with this realization, one could assume that the significance of the few most recognizable names might also apply to those unfamiliar ones displayed next to some of the genre's greatest musicians. In the same way that a visitor may infer that the artworks collected in a museum are noteworthy and important, the viewer of this exhibition concludes that each musician is deserving of having his or her name commemorated with a photographed nameplate.
As the curator of this makeshift jazz Hall of Fame, Dikeou assumes a position of authority that the viewer must accept or reject. However her expertise is as questionable as her source for the nameplates. Where do they come from and why were they made? Out of hundreds of famous jazz artists, why were these particular musicians selected for display? These questions call to attention the choices made by curators, critics, and other experts who influence public opinion, but whose methods for defining what is worthy of attention are often mysterious to the everyday consumer of culture.
Dikeou has further complicated her curatorial authority by inserting a forged nameplate for Sonny Simmons in the exhibition. A friend of the artist and an influential jazz musician, he was not included in the collection of nameplates she found and photographed. Yet an expansive 17x12-foot photo wall mural of his nameplate is installed near the entrance to the gallery. By including and inflating Simmons's name among the jazz greats, Dikeou presents a revised history of the genre. In doing so, she challenges the authority of taste and the apparent rigidity of entrenched and historicized popular culture.
Dikeou has complemented the installation by collaborating with Simmons to produce a limited edition CD, Sonny Simmons Quintet Performs the Music of Charlie Parker. Containing covers of the jazz icon's songs and an oral history piece in which Simmons comments on the 56 jazz greats included in the exhibition, the album enriches the work's pervasive themes of homage and remembrance. Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys (which takes its name from another music legend) refigures the history of an art form as flexible and negotiable. Here jazz is subject to the same whims of taste and personal pleasure that make the music itself bad, good, or great.
-Elliot Reichert, Curatorial Intern

I'm using this Roger Waters P-Bass for a half year now and I love it! It has dynamic and great sound. I absolutely recommend it for everyone who's searching the classic bright, warm and deep Fender P-Bass tone. In the past I used some low-mid-ranged J-Basses and P-Basses, but I never catched this cool and elegant tone.
Since I play this instrument I hear the same sound from my amp that I heard in my childhood's favorite rock albums.
I also love it's wider maple neck, the black hardware and the brass nut. This instrument is sexy and cool.

I've been playing the Roger Waters model P-Bass for about 2 years now and absolutely love and recommend it. The tone is really rich and full, sounds great on a half-stack or a practice amp. I also play a MM Stingray and while it has a comparable thump on the low-end, it's neither as warm nor bright as my RW P-Bass. To me this is noteworthy since the Fender uses passive pickups while the Stingray uses an active pickup.
The wider neck is a lot of fun to play with, especially with bigger hands that can be clumsy later on in a gig. It's a heavier guitar, but it feels sturdy and easily compensates with the distinctive growl it emits. This bass guitar is a terrific value for the price.
The only issue I've had is that the saddles can loosen from heavy finger plucking, especially on the E and A strings. I attribute this mostly to my own playing style, but is something to look out for as it can cause you to go out of tune midway through a song. Also, playing on the wider neck takes some getting used to - in terms of finding notes, muting, as well as conditioning your hand - but is well worth it for that smoother tone.
I mostly play harder rock music, however I've also used this bass to noodle around on some bluegrass and rockabilly. With the right fretwork and muting you can make this model sound a lot like a stand-up bass.

Could Justin Upton be a fit in Tampa Bay?
Get use to it D-backs fans, it's going to be a long winter in Arizona.
Saturday, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal was at it again, speculating that the two-time All Star could wind up in Tampa Bay -- a place his brother B.J. has called home since 2004.
While B.J. Upton looks headed for free agency, Rosenthal thinks the Rays could offer a substantial package for his younger brother, Justin.
The Rays could satisfy the Diamondbacks' desire to add a top-of-the-rotation starter by offering right-hander James Shields or right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. They also could fill the D-backs' need for a shortstop by offering a top prospect, Hak-Ju Lee.
Although general manager Kevin Towers has said throughout the week that the team is only listening to potential offers, as other organizations look to sweeten the pot, the question remains how long will it take the Diamondbacks' front office to make a decision on the future of their star right fielder?
Upton is coming off an underwhelming season, at least by his standards. The 25-year-old batted .280, with 17 home runs, 67 RBI and a slugging percentage of .430 -- 80th-best among qualified hitters.

All About Phishing
Now that you know how to avoid being phished, there is still the question of what to do about phishing e-mails should you be a recipient of them. First of all, you can visit the Web site of the company from whom the e-mail appears to be from and take the time to notify them of the suspicious e-mail. Many companies do want to know if their company name is being used to try and scam people, and you'll find scam and spoof reporting links within some of these Web sites. Additionally, you can report phishing to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and depending on where you live, some local authorities may also accept Internet phishing scam reports. Lastly, you can also send details of a phishing scam to to the Anti-Phishing Working Group who is building a repository/database of common scams to help inform people of the risks.
The New Phish - Spear Phishing
As with all malicious code, once a small percentage of the population starts to catch on, the perpetrators find ways to make the attack a little different, and this case, make the phish harder to net. The newest type of phishing scam is one that focuses on a single user or a department within an organization. The Phish appears to be legitimately addressed from someone within that company, in a position of trust, and request information such as login IDs and passwords. Spear phishing scams will often appear to be from a company's own human resources or technical support divisions and may ask employees to update their username and passwords. Once hackers get this data they can gain entry into secured networks. Another type of spear phishing attack will ask users to click on a link, which deploys spyware that can steal data.

a group of turkeys some grazing, others not
about 10 to a dozen - looked mostly like females - all resting under bushes
Only saw one turkey moving up strawberry creek on the uc campus
A single butterfly that flew rapidly and very nervously from place to place in our backyard before it moved on. My tentative identification is Vanessa atalanta -- pictures are from a bit of a distance since I couldn't get closer than 12 feet or so without it taking off.
Feeding along the shore. Yesterday they had some white egret camp followers working the inner shore, but tide was out further.
Small. Less than a foot across. Saw it while it was getting out of the way of some white pelicans.
I counted 5 hens grazing

Two wild turkeys, male juveniles, in Civic Center Park, Berkeley.
A very snipe-ish bird exploded from some brush as I passed it and flew away quickly. No time for picture, alas, but it looked and sounded just like a snipe. Very cool!

Not in the pond today.

Jean jacket: Gap (sooo old) | Skirt: Gap (not so old) | Scarf and Hat (matching!): S. Oliver | Tights: Manguun | Shoes: Hush Puppies
[An ode to German strumpfhosen is forthcoming. I never owned any tights, and now I own 8 pair. The Germans have created miracles in tights-form.]
Every other week or so, The Rocket Scientist and I try to take a day trip somewhere. This time it was to Breisach, a beautiful but apparently forgettable city. Forgettable because I asked T.R.S. at least seven times while we were there, "where are we again?"
But we saw a Munster (cathedral), a witches' tower, some snobbish French swans that wouldn't come and visit the German side of the Rhine, and I took far too many pictures of beautiful doors and one picture of T.R.S.'s cute backside (clothed) next to a statue's cute backside (unclothed). He's not letting me post that one online, but the man can't control what I make my laptop's background!
France (and its snobby swans) are over there.
Both the cute bums are there, trust me.
Heading home on the train.

Ruth's new boxed set: 20th Century Women! |
- "Authors should never pay
attention to reviews or book rankings. They should write for the pleasure
of writing."
- "Once I release a book, I
truly release it. I cannot control if it's read, how it's reviewed, if
it's reviewed, etc. and that's fine by me."
- "Why would you read your own
reviews? It's none of your business if anybody likes your book."
- "Authors who track their
sales are narcissistic."
- "It is unethical in all cases for friends
or family members to review your book."
- "I would never write to make
money. You disgust me."
- "How dare you talk about
billable hours, Ms. Lawyer! You should be practicing law for the pleasure
of it!"
- "Once I finish a painting, I
throw it out in the street. When it comes to selling my work, I am ignorant and powerless, and that's fine with me."
- "Why would a teacher read
his class evaluations? It's none of your business if your students are satisfied."
- "Performers who pay attention to ticket
sales are narcissistic."
- "It is unethical for Real
Estate/Insurance agents/stockbrokers/Avon ladies to sell to family and friends."
- "I would never practice medicine for money. Doctors who expect to be paid disgust me."
- Don't call us; we'll call you.
- Learn patience: Expect us sit on your manuscript for several years with a 99% chance we'll reject it.
- But it has to be an exclusive, so you can't submit to anybody else
during those years.
- I'll only consider this if you remove all your
gay/abused/racially-diverse characters and spend a year rewriting it as a
no guarantee of representation.
- If you don't hear from us in the next 6 months, it's probably a
no. But we won't bother to tell you, even though we require paper
submissions with an SASE. (What
do they do with all those SASE's, do you suppose?)
- You didn't/did use italics/Oxford commas/Courier font, so it's an
automatic no.
- My 13-year-old unpaid intern says the plot/characters are too complex. (Speaking of abuse—what's this with the unpaid-intern child-labor stuff?)

To share this article: Enter the email address you want to send this article to in the field and click "Send"
By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
A Cumberland County jury Friday found a marijuana dealer not guilty of murdering a soldier at a Spring Lake night club four years ago.
The defendant, 26-year-old Demar Bryan of Fayetteville, was accused of shooting to death Fort Hood-based Pfc. Charles Clements of Baltimore and wounding Fort Bragg Spc. Arthur Mwebe in March 2009.
The shooting was on the dance floor of the Ikolas West Indian Jamaican Restaurant and Lounge.
Bryan's lawyers contended that a co-defendant, Tobijah Nelson, was the real killer.
In December, Nelson, who is from Cleveland, pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder and was awaiting sentencing before Bryan's trial began Feb. 11.
Clements, 27, was married and had three children, his father, Timothy Hutchen, said Thursday. Clements was on a 30-day leave from the war in Afghanistan to visit friends and family in Texas, Maryland and Fort Bragg when he was killed, his father said.
Mwebe survived a gunshot to his leg but had to leave the Army.
Bryan was jailed for four years awaiting trial. A conviction would have sent him to prison for life without parole.
Bryan's defense lawyers told jurors that their client was a marijuana dealer, but not a murderer.
The jurors faced conflicting evidence about what happened.
There was testimony that Bryan and Nelson tried to cut in line outside the club and got into an argument with Clements and a woman.
The dispute was followed up with the shooting about an hour later inside the building, lawyers said, while Clements was dancing and laughing with his friends.
Witnesses inside the club gave contradictory statements about whether the shooter was Nelson or Bryan, according to lawyers in closing arguments to the jury.
Bryan's lawyers had evidence that Nelson had admitted to being the shooter, although in trial testimony he blamed Bryan.
The jury started deliberations midafternoon Thursday and reached a verdict Friday morning.

Despite the warning, you're here reading this page anyway. What is it about warnings, bewares and cautions that peak human interest? Such warnings are made to deter us "innocent" human folk from watching such things that usually contain graphic and mature content. For example, a warning such as the following will not deter you from watching but, rather, will make you actually want to watch it:
Warning! Beware! Caution!
(any of the above will do the trick)
The following video contains graphic images that depict human sacrifice, goats being slaughtered, children being eaten and rare footage of Hell! That's right Hell! Be forewarned that these images will leave a lasting impact in your mind and will be imprinted into your memory for as long as you live, possibly never allowing you to sleep!
There are about five warnings, possibly a couple of things you have never seen before and a pretty good guarantee that it will alter the way you live! How can you resist?! There is a high probability that if such a video existed, your curiosity will get the better of you and your little finger would feel inclined to right-click the mouse button on the link. Sadly, there are links that can have some of the effects mentioned in the makeshift warning label. Of course, I won't be supplying such links, but, they do exist!
One such video that, although it did not have such dire effects on my way of living, did impact me and it shed new light on the realities of human nature. The said video was that of a beheading of an American in the Middle East that somehow was available to view online. Through word of mouth, my interest peaked and I actually searched for the video. Not because I wanted to see such a horrific act, but because I had to see for myself that such a thing existed in this world in which I live in. Unfortunately, they do exist and the horror of watching the video and listening to everything as it unfolded was extremely graphic, shocking, appalling, dreadful, _______, _______, _______,…. just fill in the blanks with the most negative words you can think of and I'm sure it will describe perfectly what I "witnessed".
I'm sure there are many of you who have seen the said video. Living in the United States, we are, for the most part, a censored country and are not able to witness the atrocities that occur throughout the world. Sure, some things are purposefully directed to the general public, but our government has pretty good methods of sheltering us from the realities of life, understandably. These are things that no one should or want to be seeing. But, nonetheless, we will watch as if it were entertainment.
Recently, I had the distinct displeasure of viewing another horrific video. As disturbing as the video was, the fact that it was brought to my attention by a 14 year-old boy.
"Show me," I said to him.
Again, not because I wanted to see it for my "viewing pleasure" but, rather, because I honestly didn't believe him, or, thought it was an elaborate, "Bollywood" FX-filled extravaganza that fooled the eyes of this young lad. That, it was not. Unless, the special effects were stupendous, I had a hard time distinguishing whether this was actually authentic or not. Sadly, I think it was authentic.
Let me give a brief description as to what was on the video, recorded by three young teenagers by way of Russia. Apparently, a man who recently survived a battle with cancer was out riding his bicycle one afternoon when he happened upon the three young teenage boys. Details are scarce, but, being three-to-one, they overpowered the man. What ensued can only be described as a devastating ordeal to the man and his family. Having recently "practiced" on an animal (I believe it was a cat), the three young men decided to put their practice on video and record their torture/murder of this man. There was bludgeoning to the head, stabbing, and even poking eyes out! Truly an atrocity and a disgrace to humanity! The boys were captured and joked about their handy work on television, laughing like invalids.
Acts against humanity should not be viewed as entertainment but shunned with disgust. I said that I will not put any links that will point to any of these videos and I intend to keep my word. I will, however, leave it to you, the reader, to decide whether or not you actually want to see such a video. The video seems to be titled "Three Men/Guys and a Hammer". I don't think I need to direct you to where you can make this search. I do believe that, despite the many warnings, many of you will not heed those warnings and search for the ghastly video. Don't say I didn't warn you!

The ladylike trend was spotted all over the runways this season, so it's no surprise that stars like Dakota Fanning and Scarlett Johansson are embracing the waist-cinching ruffles.
Dianna Agron, Karlie Kloss, and Dakota Fanning rocked little black dresses that were anything but ordinary with the addition of flirty peplums, while the ladylike column dresses worn by Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson were modernized by the chic waist-cinching ruffles.
Want to try this trend? Keep accessories on the simple side to let this showstopping silhouette take center stage. Nix necklaces, especially if your frock is strapless like Scarlett Johansson's, but feel free to play up your peplum by adding a belt, like those spotted on Evan Rachel Wood and Coco Rocha.

5 Ways to Stay Mentally Strong While Running
We've all been there — tired, beaten down, heavy legs and many more miles to go. There is still hope :) Assuming you're following a plan and moving up in mileage the right way, developing mental strength will help you push through when things are tough. These are five strategies I use to stay mentally strong and keep moving forward:
1. Develop a running mantra. It's a personal motivation, but say the thing to yourself to motivate you to keep going. Feel free to ask other runners what they say to themselves :) I've heard everything from "You Can Do This" to "I will survive" to "I will be thin" to "Keep Moving Forward" to "Harden The F*#?" Up."
2. Stay focused on smaller goals. If you're running 10 miles (or more) just focus on getting through the mile you're on. When you finish, focus on that next mile. Usually, you'll find some miles will go easy, so you just need to get through the tough ones! Each one will get you closer and soon enough you'll be done
3. The out and back course. I make it hard to get back to my house/car. I had a friend that never finished his long run because he ran 2 mile loops that passed his house. If you're pushing the distance, you should get tired…it's better for me if I know I need to go another few miles to get home
4. Distract yourself. Many find listening to music an easy way to be "distracted" when running. Others count trees/people/mailboxes. I let my mind clear and just keep moving forward. Endurance running can be easier when not focused on every step, every muscle, and every movement. Side note here: even if you are distracted, be sure to maintain good form.
5. A change of scenery. Run the same route all the time? Try a different trail or go down different streets. I'll sometimes run a half marathon route ahead of time or drive to a different starting point on my usual trail.
Those are my big ones – Any others we should add to the list? Please comment below if you have a specific strategy on staying mentally strong.
