This is especially true when it comes to fitness goals. While it’s really popular to challenge a friend or co-worker to a weight loss goal, there are many sanctioned events which also provide a competitive outlet. In the list below you’ll find a list of popular events that are going on somewhere almost every weekend. From the popular 5k to the bucket list Marathon, you’re sure to find something on the list that you can schedule on your calendar and train for. If you are just starting out, many of the 5k events are walk/run, so you can just walk 3.1 miles and have a great time. If you enjoy team sports, the Ragnar Relay provides a long distance race (200 miles) that 12 competitors run as a relay. You com...

So does Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR). And Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Senators Brown, Wyden and Sanders have introduced the “Empowering States to Innovate Act.” Ezra Klein blogs that the Senators may have found a way forward on health reform. “If a state can think of a plan that covers as many people, with as comprehensive insurance, at as low a cost, without adding to the deficit, the state can get the money the federal government would’ve given it for health-care reform but be freed from the individual mandate, the exchanges, the insurance requirements, the subsidy scheme and pretty much everything else in the bill,” Ezra Klein writes. “If conservative solutions are more efficient, that will be clear when their ben...

But when a doctor is forced to leave a practice and three other doctors in that practice join him, that non-compete clause may also impact a hospital in the same geographic area as the non-compete. Hospitals, not wanting to lose admissions, are more than happy come to the aide of the exonerated:A noncompetition clause in the four doctors' employment contracts prohibited them from practicing medicine within 25 miles of the clinic if they left it.All four doctors have continued seeing patients at the clinic because their contracts allow them to work for 90 days after termination or resignation.

What did he do then? He started entering Ironman Triathlons. You've probably heard of these gargantuan events -- a mere 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile jaunt on the bike, capped off with a marathon run (26.2 miles). Nuts! I did a mini-sprint triathlon in my 20s and cannot imagine setting off on an Ironman. An elite triathlete, Jay enters Ironman races regularly. Showing the world type 1 diabetes has not stopped him from achieving his goals, Jay has finished 13 Ironmans and is racing in the Louisville Ironman right now. Actually, he's biking -- as of 9:30 am CST he had finished the swim in 1:09:32, ranked 422. Click on the Louisville Ironman website and read updated race coverage, view photos and even t...
