40 LICKS

Not happy about the hat. Tommy Mac turns one.

How far can you run with an interval program of:

40 INTERVALS OF:
:20 work
:10 rest

Items to assist you with your workout

- A measured 400 meter distance
- An interval timer/watch that will permit a pre programmed intervals totaling 40 sets.

As soon as the work interval ends you must slow to a walk. No jogging. The stopping and starting is part of the challenge.

This will take some planning to measure your running distance. The obvious choice is a measured 400m distance. I strongly suggest a solid warm-up including some build up sprints.

MORE BY THE POUND?

First went the free meals, pillows, blankets and peanuts. Then came the extra fees for booking over the phone, flying your pet and checking a second bag.

Now, for the first time, a major U.S. airline says it will begin charging many passengers to check even one bag, a move that's angered customers amid predictions that it will spread to other carriers and cause havoc during the peak summer-travel season.

Hit hard with record-high fuel costs and an aging, gas-guzzling fleet, American Airlines, the nation's largest carrier, said Wednesday it will begin charging some domestic economy-class passengers $15 each way for the first checked bag....MORE

For a few years I've wondered how much overload the overweight customer places on an aircraft and the flight crew. They require great assistance in boarding. They also weigh up to twice as much as the average passenger and his baggage.

Would an unfit assessment fly?
