I am so impressed with anyone who can finish a marathon, that puts them in a very small, very elite group and it doesn't matter what the time is... just finishing it is such a testament to a person's stamina and determination. But getting in a car (even if just for 3 miles but with that time I am betting much more) just completely destroys it for me. Plus, has anyone heard of a race where they would even allow that? You would be disqualified in a second and they wouldn't even give you a time.

Reader...YEH for you. I have been running a long time but racing anything official over 5 KM gives me the chills. LOL

The goal of the 1st marathon is just to complete it. Even Bill Rogers didn't finish his 1st one. So I ran a 10 min/mile pace, stopped to drink water the 15 times it was available, & finished in 4:30 way back in 1980. Men are naturally faster. Former heavy people do have the advantage of stronger muscles & bones because of the daily wt training of carrying their former bodies around.
Riding would have giving him a chance to sit down & get a 2nd wind. Definitely unfair. Sometimes the officials pick up the stragglers so they can reopen the road to car traffic.

Any one thinking of using running, jogging etc to get fit/healthy - do check out 2 things - the website for couch to 5K is great at getting you in the mindset, you CAN! then reading Marathon for MOrtals made me realize I was not alone!! (well I suppose both did - )

DH was running marathons in the 80's and he actually ran with Hal Higdon, another marathon celebrity and has a book out - I much prefer Marathon for Mortals - Jon Bigham is the author, he does talks and runs around the country (world I think) his motto/and theme is Penquins - the waddle!! So I get the I wog (walk/jog) from reading his book! (his quote - The miracle isnt that I finished, its that i had the courage to start)

So to that - shame on BL for perpetuating a myth - I have no doubt that Dane could finish a 26.2 run - (maybe not in a competative time - but we all know he could finish)

Shame, shame, shame on all of them!

and I have been just ahead of a darn pace car - I'll have to dig up that picture - I was the last runner - the police car was next to the car with the time on top of it - before me only runners, behind me - cars and runners were told and made to run on the sidewalk!

Let me tell you, that was one proud moment for me to be ahead of the car!! NO WAY would I get in a darn car!! Pride!!

BTW - I am recomitting and will run another Half - Jan '10 and THIS time I will be a "Finisher" - Most races have a 16 min per mile pace (a nice fast walk pace mind you - and it wsa hard for me to keep up with those walkers after the first hour!) or for 13.1 miles that is 3 hours and 30 min - if you cant keep that pace - they "sweep" you into a car - or bus...

I ran at DIsney in '08 and I was fine (I stopped to take pictures in the Magic Kingdom) I thought anyway - since it took me 15 min to cross the start line, and I was the first in the last corral I figure I had at least a 15 min "padding" - but nope, they took the 3 hours and 30 min from the 6:30am start time!

but I stayed ahead of the sweepers -

but next time - I will be an "official" finisher and have my name published - Pride! I want the personal pride of being an "official" finisher -

I know I am glad I did fine in my first Half - but I didnt finish, so I have to do it again!!

which is why I dont understand in this day and age why NBC or BL producers and Dane in particular think they can do it - maybe that's why his wife spoke out!! She put in a lot!!

You might be a penguin if...

* you have to politely (for the third time) tell the men in the police car moving behind you that No you do not wish a ride.
* you wear your jog bra on top of your singlet. This is especially true if you are male.
* during a race, you keep turning around to see if there is still anybody behind you.
* the rest of the pack is out of sight before you've run 100 yards.
* you meet both the hare AND the tortoise running back towards you doing their cool-down after a race.
* the only reason you don't drop out of a race is that you're embarrassed that the police in the car behind you (closing the course) will see you.

if you google Couch to 5K - there are podcasts and lots of things to motivate you!!

running marathons is not for every athlete, however.
my dh was very athletic when he started running.
the problem is that he has wide hips and the wear and tear on his hip joints resulted in two hip replacements. and he was in his forties.
i can't even imagine the damage that running a marathon could do to the joints of an obese person.

How sad. I get the impression the lie was from NBC not Dane and his great achievement (running 17 miles rocks!!) will be under a cloud.

but if you read Jon Bingham, you will see that the point is you can get fit without doing damage - its not about a time, but its about starting - having the courage to start, and finishing it, its not about form, or running, its the "waddle"

I totally agree as my dh ran grat times in the 80's and 90's - the marathon was for athletes -

not any longer, Marathoning for Mortals talks about it - and trust me - when I was a skinny young thing in college I somehow took a class on health - for a PE credit, it was RUNNING - I HATE running - loathe it, dispise it - everything about it... its boring, its yucky, bouncy, etc..

but, it gets me in better shape, I can breath and move better - I dont need a treadmill or a gym, I can go to a mall, or a park...

THANKS Bonza!!

I'm sure I'll get grief for this but the yellow team drive me BONKERS! I hate how they cry when they lose IMO it's like they are looking for sympathy. What Mike did was super amazing but I just can't deal with them.

blue team loses a challenge and they are crying - I get that - but why do they (and by they I wouldnt be surprised if they were led to this by producers to get drama!) have to begrudge the black team for celebrating?

are you going to tell me if they finally won a challenge the black team would tell them not to celebrate?

Its tv, they are going for drama.

I hate drama!

I can't stand the way those two girls that were yellow team cry all the time. They seem to begrudge everybody who isn't them any wins. Mike was really, really sweet to do that, but it irritates me to see either one of those two get anything from all that crying because they lost.

WTH? TBC??? ok and I'm sorry but this is drama queen to the extreme -

IT IS NOT UP TO MIKE - "the youngest contestant" ever - YOU (BL producers) knew the order - you could've made ANYONE last...

this just sent me over the edge!

I will not do a recap justice... (was watching the Bachelor!! and surfing the 'net!)

Challenge to box up food for the hungry - stats on how many are hungry - huge warehouse -winning team was Black, blue cried - mom with 5 kids really needed the reward, one year of free food..

so back at the ranch - Jillian goes off - well lets put it this way, she tries to let Laura know why she hasnt been emotionally yelling at her, asks the whole black team the week link - lara - so she leaves, Jillian wont let Tara go off and help her, she must do this for her - they talk - but imho she still doesnt get it - -

Mike goes to (aubry? mom with 5 kids) and says he wants to give her his reward, after all he's acollege kid

heartwaming moments...

Rocco Dispirto appears AGAIN (btw best move for his career, go to nbc.com and get his healthy recipes, the chicken looks fantastic!!) they talk about how much fat is in fast food - they are challenged to remake hamburgers, burritos, and pizza - IN 30 MINUTES! Black team wins - Rocco cooks for them, blue team cleans up - then everyone in the black team picks a solid fortune cookie inside if it says 1 they get an extra vote at elimination - (what will THIS Mean now??)

at weigh in they find out the twist is they EACH have to lose 7# (well it was a total, forget how they said it) and ALL would be safe - if they fell under that number - then one person from EACH team will be eliminated...

and it was a great weigh in - they all lost - the lady who lost the most last week only lost 3# this week (Kristin,Kathy?) someone (girl) made it to onederland!! woohoo.. most came close 5# 8#...

now it's up to mike he HAS to lose 9# or someone from each team is going home - so eye rolls at this drama - we know the producers pre weigh then and put them in order for weigh in for drama...

sorry if tht isnt clear - know the food chalenge with Rocco came before the boxing up at the warehouse....

They don't each have to lose seven pounds -- the whole bunch has to lose what would total up to seven pounds per person, e.g., someone could lose six and someone else 8. There's eleven remaining (?), then the whole group has to lose 77 lbs. If not, one person from each team is eliminated.

Week 9:

Talking about nine weeks ago... 11 players remain. Lost over half a ton of weight and shattered records. Nine weeks left, competition more intense.

We see Blue team returning without Dane. Mike hugs Ron, tells us Dane was a huge threat. Tara cries and says the person she leaned on is gone. She tells Mandi and Aubrey that it was really stupid (what their team did) Mandi says she had no idea Dane was going home. She hasn't had time to bond with Cathy and Kristin and Ron and they aren't going to send each other home; they're going to send me home.

Cathy tells us she Kristin and Ron are "original Bob's team" and we are going to stick together. Filipe encourages Mandi, who is really down.

They go to cooking school at Chef's, Inc. and meet up with Rocco Di Spirito, who will tell them about the perils of fast food.

Challenge Each team will make healthy versions of foods Rocco showed them.. will be judged on taste and calorie content.. has to taste good. They have lots of ingredients and 30 minutes. Winning team gets dinner cooked by Rocco and a random member of that team gets an extra vote in this week's elimination (huh.. what if their team wins the weigh in? Who is voting?)

Mandi needs that extra vote, she says.

The dishes .. healthy burger, burrito and pizza.

Kristin tells us blue team didn't win a single challenge last week; must win. People having trouble with ovens..

Black team:

Bison burger, chopped onions, portobello mushrooms, feta cheese, spices. Helen and Laura.

Burrito : Sione wheat tortilla, extra lean turkey (also see salsa and cilantro).

Pizza: Mike organic marinara sauce with sweet basil, oregano and garlic powder, baby spinach, sliced tomato and onion, mozzarella cheese. Not enough time for dough.

Blue team:

Burger Mandi stuffed with mushroom (also see tomato, lettuce, ?? and stuff in a cup mustard/ketchup.

Burrito Aubrey lean ground turkey, rice, yogurt, onion powder, etc.

Pizza: Ron.. not cooked. Whole wheat crust, sweet basil sauce caramelized ?? olives and mushrooms Romano cheese and grated parmesan cheese.

Ron and Mike are competitive re the pizzas.

Pizza smack down.. winning pizza lower cal, tasted better.. blue team (Ron)

Burrito: black slightly lower cal, both tasted bad black wins that one.

Burger: black team's tasted much better. Calories black lower in cal. Ketchup and mustard downfall for blue.

Black team wins. They each pick a fortune cookie, one will have a vote. Laura gets the extra vote. She's happy.

Black team wins dinner cooked by Rocco. Blue team does dishes. Laura has an extra vote.

Teaser is that weigh in puts both teams in jeopardy.. you will not be weighing in against each other..

Rocco serves dishes to black team. (recipes on NBC.com)

Blue team not thrilled to see black team eating great dinner.. and they had to do those dishes.

Bob meets with his team

They go off campus to a 24 hour fitness sport. Kristin is so excited. Rough week, no extra vote. Everlast Shadowboxing workout new and sweat-inducing. Aubry was a boxer. We see a guy jump roping. Sugar Ray Leonard! He says he is a huge fan of BL. His philosophy is POWER Prepare, Overcome, Win Every Round. All report that it was a tough workout, fun and different.

Dr. Huzienga comes to visit in the gym. Tells Mike and Tara they are both record-breakers. Mike lost 130 lb of hydrated fat but gained 20-30 lb of muscle. Never been done in three months, that much fat. Mike says "sweet". Tara has 29% weight loss .. never been done in three months. She tells us Holy Shit.

He goes to talk to Aubrey. Says on the treadmill she was at a fit 68-69 year old level and now at a fit 31 year old level she is off the charts.

Talks to Ron.. says never had a person on the show that was post-bypass. Very different type of fat distribution because of the procedure. Ron tells us bypass doesn't always work. Ron lost muscle, he's diabetic, but now he is picking up muscle, needs less insulin. Ron rambles on about his son, goals, on campus.

Jillian meets with her team Finally we see Jillian.. says time to work out. She talks to Sione about him feeling like a traitor to Bob. She wants to make it the best they can. He says he is adapting to change. She tells him to stay open.

In the gym he's now working hard. Metabolic training, Jill says.

He has a fall and Jill calls for ice. His ankle inverted, much pain. Rest of team looks concerned. (ed. I don't get why they do some of these exercises that seem to just invite injury) Jill wants to get an MRI.

Both teams at the Food Bank. Sione tells us he has a level 1 sprain; best sprain to have.

Ali talks about 1 in 8 Americans struggling with hunger last year. Have opportunity to do something about it. Mike points out the irony of all the food they have eaten in the past.

Facility fed half a million people last year.


Immunity Challenge

Take donated food, assemble it into a kit, take kits across warehouse, load into a truck. 100 kits to make, 150 to load.

First team finished wins.

Aubrey tells us she had to use food banks early in her motherhood.

Each member of the winning team will receive free groceries for a year Mandi tells us that would be huge for "Aubrey and I". Winning team also in Cheerio ad and letters from home.

Black team has to sit someone out. They decide to sit Laura out.

Second hour recap, but we also hear that one person will go home from each team tonight. and all have a chance to win immunity (at the weigh in).

Back to conclusion of challenge. It is very close.

Again, black team wins Filipe is so happy to win a year of groceries and letters from home. Helen is stoked.

Blue team is dejected.

Ali says they fed 1,200 people for a day.

Mandi cries, says she wanted to win this for Aubrey. Aubrey cries. Mike feels bad winning a year's supply of groceries he doesn't need. Aubrey says it is a combination of wanting to win the prize, and losing AGAIN and watching black team celebrate. We see Filipe, Tara and Helen kind of overdoing the celebrating in front of the crying sisters. Kristin consoles them and tells us Black team won't let them forget all their losses.

Black team gets their letters from home. Helen gets letters from son Alex and her husband, and a picture too.

Tara reads her letter from her mom.

Sione gets a letter from his wife. and a picture. His son is walking now.

Filipe gets a letter from his wife, he's happy. Sweet letter.

Mike, Helen, etc, Laura, all smiling and reading.

Mike says he was thinking about the challenge. Aubrey was upset. He goes to her and offers the groceries to Aubrey. (what a sweetie). She hugs him. She tells him how with her first two kids, she was single and used food banks. Aubrey tells blue team about Mike giving her the groceries. They all cry. Mandi especially. Says she is so happy. Ron is so proud of Michael. (huge smile on him).

Jillian tells her team to stop gloating about their wins They tell about the challenge. And that Laura sat out the challenge. Jill tells us Laura sits out of the challenge, I have Sione with a bad ankle, Helen is almost 50. And yet Laura, who has zero injuries, is sitting out. Raises a question about her; she loves to play the weak, helpless victim.

Last Chance Workout

Jill is bellowing and working them out. Bob works his team.

Mandi says Bob has been ON her all week long. Cries and says what if I work out this hard and I go home. Bob says what if you work this hard and win weigh in. Mandi is still worried about Cathy, Kristin and Ron, she'd be first to go home. Bob says not your time to go.

Jill is concentrating on Laura, who is playing the victim. She's still crying at week nine, says Jillian. Why are you always last, Jillian asks. Jill says she hasn't yelled at Laura, because Laura doesn't believe. Jill worries that Laura will get sent home and nothing will change. Jillian gets them all to say Laura is the weakest link on the team. Jill tells us she is NOT the weakest link, but is perceived this way. She tells Laura. Laura cries. Jill cannot get Laura to respond, says she gives up. Laura goes outside. Jill tells us Laura stormed out (she didn't, she slunk out) Tara says that was mean (Jill said it would be mean). Tara says Jillian took it too far, but says she is right that Laura CAN do it. Laura tells us that was worse than someone calling her fat.. she is out walking.

Later she comes to Jillian to talk. Jill wants to explain to Laura, find out when she has contributed. Laura feels thrown under the bus. Jill says Laura is phoning it in. Not fully committed and present, in a victim's space. Laura keeps denying, saying she tries to talk to Jill.

Why do you want to lose weight? She finally says she wants people to love her. Jillian tells her she is capable, strong and a good person.

Weigh in

Very dramatic music tonight. Kristin feels pressure. Laura is really really nervous, things stress will shut her down.

Ali tells them tonight's weigh-in is unlike anything we have ever done on the Biggest Loser before. You won't be weighing in against each other but WITH each other. We go to commercial with all of them with WTH looks on faces.

You all are about to have the chance to win immunity for everyone. If you lost a pound a day for the last week, all of you are guaranteed one more week on campus. Mandi tells us this is perfect, even if I have the lowest percentage, I'm safe.

Ali says 11 of you here tonight. All of you have to have lost a combined total of more than 77 pounds.} (these same people lost 95 pounds last week) Mike is happy because they can focus on the real reason for being here.. losing weight and seeing others succeed.

If they don't lose that weight, one person from each team will go home. Tara says that is hard, Helen averages maybe one pound a day on a good week (Helen did lose 7 last week and is down to 198).

In the spirit of giving back, for every pound lost, BL will donate 100 pounds of food.

Sione says it is a win-win, people get food anyway, but don't want people to go home, and not two.

Helen is up first and prays that she loses her 7 pounds. She loses 5 pounds, down to 193.

Mandi is next. (She also lost 7 last time). She loses 8 pounds and is at 195, under 200!

Sione is up. ACK! He loses only 3 pounds. Total is 16 pounds. He's disappointed (guessing this is result of his resisting Jillian last week) He points out that he injured his ankle and worked with Jillian, so he's back to Bob-angst.

Aubrey up next.She lost 8 pounds and says that is sufficient.24 pounds so far.

Laura up next. Says week has been really hard. Wants to prove herself. And she loses 7!

Ron up now. He says we had a four pound deficit. Hopes to make some of it. But he loses 6 pounds.

(ed. Have to wonder what Dane would have lost)

37 pounds, five left to weigh in.

Tara is up. Wants to pull a big number for everyone. And she does. 11 pounds and is right at 200 pounds. Big smiles. She's lost 94 pounds now. Total is 48 pounds, four to weigh in.

Kristin is up. She says she needs to do something really good. She loses 9 pounds. Cathy is cheering. Krsitin has lost 90 pounds in 9 weeks. 57 pounds total.. 20 pounds away, three people left to weigh in.

Filipe next. He was nervous. He loses 8 pounds. He's whooping.. 2 people left, 65 lost.

Cathy up now. Says pressure is unbelievable. She loses 3 pounds, total now 68 and it is all down to Mike. She wishes it was more (she DID lose 14 last week). Total is 68 now. Mike has to lose more than 9 pounds. (he lost 10 last week). He says going last is bad.. three double digit weeks in a row, doesn't feel he's lost it this week. Says I'm killing two people's dreams if he doesn't lose at least 10 pounds. Says he's a neurotic mess.

To be continued

Elimination

TBD, if any, there will be two, one from each team.

I couldn't help but wonder how much of an influence Ron had with Mike giving the grocery prize away to Aubrey. Ron gave a knowing smile when Aubrey came in to announce what Mike did. This could insure him and Mike a bit more time on the ranch. I also wonder if anyone on the blue team regretted voting out Dane when they lost that challenge.

I'm kinda ticked at Sione and him not being able to get over the fact that he is not on Bob's team anymore. And I can't believe that he blamed Jillian on his 3 lb. weight loss. He attitude is really disappointing me.

Ugh, I hate a 'to be continued' episode. It looks like Filipe (or what is Sione? It went so fast) goes off on Jillian next week, so I'm wondering if they lost and one of the cousins was sent home. I can't believe there are still so many people in the game. This season seems to be going on a long time.

the sisters annoy the heck out of me too.

I wasn't sure if I heard right and Sione blamed Jillian or not - blasphemy!!! It's another excuse-just like what got them there in the first place.

I had to rewind when Sione said that. First he blamed his ankle and Jillian, then almost in the same breath said it was his fault. I know he would probably want to blame Jillian, for it is so much easier to do. Of all the ones, I am really surprised that he cannot get over the team change.

What kind of spell does Aubrey and Mandy have on these people? I just see two <77> people who think everything should be handed over to them because they have a ton of kids. They cry every time they lose a prize, and think they deserve it more than anyone. And these people are fawning over them. I too, am getting sick of them. In fact, I am kinda over a lot of them. The only ones I still really root for is Tara, Kristin, and Filipe.

Still don't like yellow. Still don't like Tara and now don't like Laura either. I'm pretty much over all of them at this point. Guess I'll get on the Helen wagon.

I HATE this twist more than words can say. The contestants are weighed before the weigh in we see on camera so BL decided whether they wanted a double or single elimination. Are they kidding me? And then they make it a cliff hanger!

Whose running this show these days? Alison Grodner?
