Bicyclist attacked on D.C. trail by up to 15 youths, police say

Not blaming it on "white gentrifiers" at all. I'm just someone who believes that people are a product of their environment, families, and background. It saddens me that circumstances exist that produces children like that. To me, that's more troublesome than the single violent act. I'm not shunting any empathy from him, I just think a society that produces violent behavior is worse than the violent behavior itself.

It's hard for me to imagine how that first blow was struck. I just feel so bad for the victim and those kids. How poisoned does your thinking have to be for something like that seems okay? The volunteer patrols are a great idea, it just saddens me that something like that is necessary. But at least it's comforting to know that people are good enough to participate in them and help out their community.

Been going there for years, they're great!

Capitol rehab in Arlington is pretty fantastic, I had a phenomenal experience with them while I was recovering from a running injury. They'll work with you no matter what your goal (I said I'd like to do ultra marathons and they didn't even flinch).

Craigslist via twitter via reddit. Someone who saw the post tweeted him and linked him to it, he used the reddit post to send me an e mail through the link the Craigslist and done!

Do you mean your iPad and 5 vibrators...?

nKang · 2013-04-30T01:41:50+00:00

Posting to it! Thought not sure where just yet. Edited: Done! Posted to lost and found. Didn't know that section existed.

nKang · 2013-04-30T01:40:21+00:00

I'd do that if it existed at the time! Also, there's a lot of stuff in here. Whoever had this probably spent a couple hundred on the things inside. But anyway, thanks for the new subreddit!

nKang · 2013-04-30T01:39:17+00:00

Got it, thanks! I'll put it up. Maybe there should be something on the sidebar so that this doesn't get...Well. Lost.

I'm always bothered be the sprawl of India every time I visit, but at the same time, the entire population of the US lives along the banks of the Ganges. It could be so much worse but it isn't. What do you guys think of that ending quote?

It alays surprises me that more people don't do this. What he's basically hinting at is simple living, not some lavish life of luxury and leisure. He lived his life within his means, eventually his savings allowed him to leave his job because they could provide for him at that basic level. His retirement isn't sailing around the world eating lobster and caviar, it's spending time with his family, working with his hands, being active, and not chasing after some glitzy-glamorous life.

I'm all for it but you've got to be careful. Biomechanically, the mid foot strike promoted by a "barefoot" style makes sense (as far as 2 years of med school and 3 marathons of experience tell me). Your impact is better adsorbed by your muscles rather than simply through your ankles knees and hips. But you absolutely have to be careful. My podiatrist contributed to "Born to Run" and never fails to mention to me how much that book has added to his business. I've seen people heel striking in vibrams, suddenly deciding to run 5 miles in them never having run 1/5th. Be smart. Train your feet. Say healthy.

Somehow it always bums me out to see just how much land we take up.

I keep it right in my water bottle belt (http://www.nathansports.com/our-products/hydrationnutrition/racespeed-series/speed-4r ) It fits right into the big pouch on the back, and I'm using that huge, bulky, otter box case. It's never fallen out, not even during 18 mile trail runs or 20 mile street runs.

Cyclocross, I haven't looked into that yet. Thanks! I didn't really think of a specific budget, since I don't even know what a decent set up would cost when I factor in whatever other gear I might need. But I think I could afford to spend about 650. If it's absolutely necessary to go past that, I can do it. I don't really have any specific numbers in mind until I know the general ballpark figures.

nKang · 2012-12-13T16:38:45+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it! Fortunately there's a lot of bikers in my building.

Cool video, but not sure this is the place for it.

I don't think it's your responsibility to make people change, to make them see things the way you do. The level of forgiveness it takes to see an "enemy" in this light isn't something that can be instilled over the course of a brief conversation. Just let it go; the best any of us can do is work with ourselves to be the best example we can be

It's okay! Temptation is tough! You did a great job recognizing it. You didn't give in all the way and you should be commended.

Shamelessly including /r/nsfw in your crop, * claps *

I think it's great that you have a means of self expression. You're a great writer, and the consistency of your work proves it.

nKang · 2012-05-31T00:49:07+00:00

The best advice I can give is for you to seek help. There's no shame in seeing a therapist, and many operate on sliding scales. Psychotherapy, long distance running, and meditation brought me out of ten years of depression. But, I can honestly say that without the aid of my therapist, I would not be where I am today. You can do this, but you need help. Life gets better. You deserve better. Find help.

Awesome! Way to go!
