Mississippi's still fattest but Alabama closing in

I'm sorry but max heart rate is pretty much genetically set and declines with age. It's not really a good indicator of fitness at all, not nearly as good as your RHR is. Now you can use your max heart rate for setting training conditions and that's quite affective, though again, you don't want to do to much of it or with out enough base volume as you risk injury. What is your mile time may I ask?

BTW, RHR is a better indicator of fitness because a low RHR indicates exercise induced cardiopulminary hypertrophy, meaning an increase in both heart stroke volume and an increase in the precentage of the lungs vital capacity you use during exercise.

Not according to my doctor, who got a BS in sports science prior to going to med school. She indicates that your estimated max heart rate is about 220- your age, and if your actual maximum is higher than that then the difference is a good indicator of your "real Age".

The "Carry On" movies were silly, slapstick, and hilariously funny. I don't recall the titles but they poked nonsensical fun at several professions/walks of life, e.g. "Carry On Nurse". They weren't super clever like Monty Python, but they were consistent with the humour of their time. If you wanted to just relax and laugh at something that had absolutely nothing to do with your life and didn't reflect real people in the least, this was the ticket.

P.S. the "u" was for you, Damo, and Happy Canada Day, all! :D

She's right but it's not as strong an indicator of fitness as RHR is, for the reasons I stated. Again, max heart rate is better feed back for establishing a high end traning schedule, but that should only come after doing lots of low end base (aerobic) training.

She's had the medical training and developed a training regimen for me so I'll go with her advice. *shrug*

Picked some heirloom greasy grit green beans in the garden this morning. They are cooking with a hunk of smoked hog jowel for dinner. Breaded and fried summer squash, new potatoes, and country ham is also on the menu.

Can I get a plate and I hope you have some corn bread.
Sweet potato pie, with a dallop of whipped cream, for desert; thank you.

I will fax you one.

Now that's funny.

After reading the thread, I have to agree with everyone; because every local has their own cooking that will melt your soul and steal your heart.

But I'll pass on all of it; for a plate of my wife's mexican rice, some refried beans, home made tamales, and some fresh empanadas.

I'm sure your gal's a great cook and I'd gain 5 before pushing myself away from the table but that being said my Dad can't stand Mexican food. Back when Taco Bell had that little dog as a spokesman I was joking around with him about that and he had a simple reply: "It's dog food". I don't know why but I laugh about it whenever I recall that.
 
I like Tex Mex food, but not genuine Mexican. I spent some time in Mexico city and do NOT like genuine Mexican food.
One issue is they use some spice that tastes like kerosene to me.

If you equate Taco Bell food as being the same as Mexican food; then you should cut out your tongue, boil it in brine, and feed it to a stray dog.

LOL

The farther you go into Mexico, the more spice they use.
Some of that food will take the paint off your car, when you're sitting inside it.

I am not talking about the hot spice, some other kind. Tastes like kerosene to me. Also I cannot handle the real hot stuff.
Not my innards but my mouth. so much pain I cannot enjoy the food.

I can proudly say that I have never eaten at Taco Hell. I did, however, use the bathroom at one once.

My Dad's distaste comes from his station in El Paso Texas back in the 1950's.

That's what the tortillas are for.
They help with the "flaming tongue" syndrom.

They use a lot of tamarand in authentic Mexican cooking. It's very bitter.

Nope- that man is fixed on his preferences. A few months ago and were at a party catered by a local Mex Restaurant that we know the owner and have been going to for years. Everything was incredible fresh and the salsa was amazing. My Dad ate it but wasn't too happy about the whole situation. I think he made himself a sandwich when he got home. *shrug*
