POPSJeff Galloway: Benefits of running twice a day More: Two-a-Day Principles. If you try two-a-days, keep these seven guidelines in mind: 1. Separate your workouts by at least 2 hours; 4 hours is even better. 2. Be sure your first run of the day is very easy. Save any speed sessions for later in the day. 3. Don't divide your long run into two shorter runs. Continue to do your long run all at once-that's what makes it a long run. 4. Warm up for your second run of the day, as you did for your first. 5. If you're training for a race, at the end of your morning run do three to six accelerations of 50 to 100 meters each (walk or jog 100 meters in between to recover). Run them at your race pace. 6. Eat breakfast (or a high-carbohydrate snack) within 30 minutes of finishing your morning run. 7. Increase your mileage by no more than 1 mile per run. If you increase your weekly mileage more than 3 weeks in a row, don't raise your total by more than 10 percent a week.

POPSRAND: 101,000 American casualties PER YEAR in Iraq/Afghanistan Time for outrage: Look what neocons and passive congresses have done to us! How can we write off responsibility for the deaths and wounds of half a millions Americans and live with no accountability whatsoever? How can we be so immoral as to shrug our shoulders and just elect someone else? Where is justice? (and we haven't even begun to touch the enormity of the losses to innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

POPSHalf of Vets Suffering Brain and Mind Injuries Go Untreated, but Pentagon Pretends Nothing's Going O It's been left up to Lt. Col. Steven Pflanz, the senior psychiatry policy analyst for the Air Force surgeon general, to report on the mental healthcare practices that have been developed for those on active duty. Kerry Knox, director of the VA's Center for Excellence on Suicide Prevention, was scheduled to share with him these introductory remarks, but is not in attendance. Apologies are made, but no one mentions how obviously difficult it would be for her to get into the self-congratulatory HOOAH! spirit of this conference when her boss just got busted big time for hiding VA suicide statistics, not just to the media but to Congress as well.

POPS Stand With Our Veterans IAVA.org Veterans Guaranteed Bonus Act, H.R. 3793 email petition In July, a presidential commission revealed that the Department of Defense is unfairly penalizing wounded veterans by not providing them with their full enlistment bonuses. Some have even been asked to return money they've already received. Tell your Representatives to support legislation that would ensure our servicemembers don't get penalized for being discharged as the result of an injury. We've provided you with some suggested language, but feel free to edit it. Your message will automatically be sent to your local Congressional Representatives.

POPSAdults not as safe as they think This survey from the Home Safety Council does not surprise me. I've taught safety in my community for more than 16 years. I typically find a sense of apathy and non-interest from people when I discuss safety in and around the home. My podcast show, HomeSafe 411, received such low response that I could not perceive value in spending time producing it. Unfortunate, but it does seem most of us are apathetic in our approach toward safety. it is easier to be entertained than to consume information from time to time that might help us stay more safe.
