The research on marathon training is very interesting and informative. Three main aspects are running form, training schedule and diet.

Who said home schooling was boring? Not these kids!!
The following is a paper I wrote for my Advanced Composition class.
Out of reflex Jonah Nova gripped the worn gray armrests as the air plane dipped. This brief turbulence made the bitter orange juice in his glass quiver. As the liquid rippled, Jonah pushed away the cold fish breakfast and tried to avoid thinking about his own rolling stomach. Smells of fish enveloped Jonah’s nostrils as he sat back and closed his eyes. This nauseating fish nulled his efforts to calm his stomach. He wondered how a plane that looked like a whale with wings stayed in the air. If he would have glanced out the window Jonah could have seen a whole world 23,000 feet below, and a sun rising over it’s clouds, lighting them up in a blazing pink and red fire. Jonah did not wish risking his stomach for a peek at the view. His ears popped and he thought about his destination. Continue reading ‘Jonah Don’t Go’
The following is a paper I wrote for my Advanced Composition class.
In the schools of wealthy first world countries teachers usually implement expensive computer labs for the furtherance of technological education. Low budget schools in third world countries rarely have this opportunity because of cost issues. Linux Operating Systems along with LTS (Linux Terminal Server) technology offers a low cost solution. Linus Torvalds along with other programmers around the world developed this multi-user, multi-tasking OS (operating system) as a free alternative to major commercial OS’s. LTS allows many people to simultaneously use the same computer processor. Because a Linux Lab provides low-cost, low-maintenance, and long lasting solutions, schools should implement this framework for the most efficient use of resources.

Hey all,
As you might have known, next year we will not be attending ECA. Instead we will be homeschooling up north. Asturias is beautiful. The beach is an hour away. If all works out, we’ll be renting a small apartment by a river
(http://www.laestacion.com.es/english/main_en.html).
I (Nathan) will be taking Advanced Composition, Algebra 2, Java, Music Theory, AP U.S. History, and Self Directed P.E. (Mountain Biking, Hiking, Running, Juggling…). I’m excited. I’ll miss all you ECA-ers! From Madrid to Collanzo, Asturias it is three hours.
Green trees flood all around and the ride should be terrific. Juniors and Seniors, I hope to have ya come visiting!!
This upcoming summer I will be traveling. I hope to be taking photos… Then we will move to that pretty northern place where I hope to mountain bike, learn to surf, record an album with my one man band, and on top of all that try and get some studying done. I’ll probably end up listening to all my British literature on my iPod shuffle. Ok folks. Goodbye, I must leave to study for finals.
Your friend,
Nathan
