Was one of the more fun challenging events I have ever done. This past weekend was a blast. Every part of it, except having to wait at a few obstacles, was just a ton of fun and challenging. Got through the course in 4 hours, should have been a lot quicker but for the waiting at some obstacles. Up and down a ski resort four or five times. Basically going to an adult playground with some serious workout involved and some fun times with friends. What else do you want?
I will probably do it again next year. Great time and I highly recommend. Just understand, its not the speed that matters, its the camaraderie and experience.

I did my first 10k the a cpl wks ago. my cousins (who got me in to running) recommended me not do that specific 10k as my first -- starts too late (90 degrees when it started) and on an open, hilly road. It was miserable, but I finished in 2nd in my age group. I'll get there.

Just started running again. More for my weight that anything right now. I used to run for fun when I ran the 1600 in HS, but that's been years, and years ago. I have always been skinny until about 5 years ago when I started hitting the whisky pretty hard...I went from about 160 to my heaviest of 224.4 - which was this past New Years.
Well...after a good 2 week master cleanse, and VERY limited drinking, I am down to 195 and hitting the treadmill pretty hard right now. Eventually I will get back outside, but I live in the mountains and it's pretty rough terrain around here.
Baby steps...baby steps.

You should just wear a sign that says "I'm a Special person"

Care to explain that comment? I'm always up for some enlightenment. The world we live in is not very "user-friendly" on the human body. If you had any idea what soda, caffeine, preservatives, proccessed foods etc. do to your body - you'd realize who the Special person is

I spend literally 60-70 hours a week learning what caffeine, soda, preservatives, and processed foods do to your body. A master cleanse is completely stupid, and useless, unless your goal is destroying LBM, incuding muscle mass, ligament and tendon strength, bone density.. then by all means cleans your body of all that.
I prefer to be healthy. A master cleanse is worse for you than any of the shit you listed.

It's basically starving yourself for a period of time, then acting amazed when you burn a bunch of bodyweight, most of which is water, glycogen, and lean body mass. Your body fat % can and often does go up, and you become more obese than you were when you started.

It's a full body cleanse and detox plan. You go on a liquid diet for a minimum of 10 days.
To make the Lemonade you will need the following ingredients:
2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice from one half of a Lemon
2 Tablespoons of Rich Maple Syrup
1/10 of a Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
1 – 2 cups of Pure Water (Alkaline Water is best, in my opinion)
You should also use a salt water flush to flush your system (1 liter of water mixed with sea salt). There's also an "ease out" plan to get your body used to solid foods again.
This takes a lot of dedication, but if you want to rid your body of all the harmful shit (no pun intended) that has been stored over the years...this will do it for you. After completing this though, you should change your eating habits. It's all explained on that site.

False...if you know how to do it right. It's NOT about losing weight - it's about ridding your system of toxins and shit.

Did you even read it? Your words show your lack of intellect. You keep eating your processed foods and drinking your soda, coffee, alcohol, "muscle mass builder" and whatever other drugs you enjoy - and I'll do things the way I see best for my body.

Please describe to me the biological process in which lemonade "detoxes" your body, and what exact toxins are being removed.
Please cite peer reviewed scientific research.
Let's see who has a lack of intellect.

This doesn't make sense to me. If I'm looking for ways to clean out my body, maple syrup would seem to be the last thing I want to put in my body.

I misspoke about the toxins - it's a SYSTEM FLUSH. Again, this isn't for everybody. On a side note: you should research before you start bad-mouthing people. Talking to people the way you did makes you look less intellegent about things than you probably are.
Here is some light reading for you:
What Do You Eat on the Master Cleanse?:The Master Cleanse is a liquid diet. It involves drinking 6 to 12 glasses a day of a lemonade concoction containing lemon juice, maple syrup, water, and a little cayenne pepper. The total daily intake is roughly equivalent to the juice of 3 to 6 lemons per day and 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups of maple syrup per day. See a sample of a Master Cleanse recipe.
Other than the lemonade drink, a herbal laxative and a salt water drink are recommended as part of the daily regimen. Colonics and enemas are not recommended on the Master Cleanse.
Why These Ingredients?:
According to the book, lemons and maple syrup are used because they are readily available and are a rich source vitamins and minerals. Lemons are also considered a cleansing, healing food in alternative medicine. While lemon juice and maple syrup do contain some vitamins and minerals, however, many other foods have the same or more amount of vitamins and minerals. For example, one of the supposed benefits of the lemons is the potassium, but one banana contains about the same amount of potassium as all of the lemon juice consumed each day on the Master Cleanse. Also, maple syrup is high in sugar.
How Long Does the Master Cleanse Last?:
The book recommends people go on the diet for 10 days or more, and says that the maximum duration is 40 days. It suggests people can go on the Master Cleanse three to four times a year. Most nutritionists and health professionals advise against prolonged fasting (more than several days), particularly as a way to lose weight.
What Happens After the Master Cleanse?:
After the cleanse is over, there is a recommended procedure for breaking the fast. The first day after the cleanse, only orange juice is allowed. The second day involves more orange juice and possibly vegetable soup. On day three, vegetables, salads, and fruit are allowed. Normal eating is usually resumed on the fourth day.
How Do People Feel on the Master Cleanse?:Many testimonials are on the Internet by people claiming that the Master Cleanse has diminished their symptoms. Some say they have better energy and mental clarity during and after the cleanse. For others, there is a spiritual or psychological effect, which may have a positive effect on health. Some people, however, feel dizzy, faint, or extremely hungry and say that the Master Cleanse is difficult. Loose stools and diarrhea are common on the diet, due mainly to the herbal laxative and saltwater drink. Frequent bowel movements are encouraged on the diet because they are believed to aid in the elimination of toxins.
What are the Potential Safety Concerns?:
Most nutritionists advise against a prolonged fast or liquid diet. One of the most common concerns is the lack of nutrients, protein, and calories in the diet. Having 6 glasses of the lemonade beverage provides 650 or so calories. According to the book, weight loss of 2 pounds per day is typical. One of the potential side effects of rapid weight loss is the formation of gallstones. The book mentions a person who passed gallstones on the 24th day on the Master Cleanse that "he didn't know he had." The gallstones were likely due to the diet itself.
