I just wanted to let you guys know that I am now running a site called 91 Day Challenge. I created this website to allow you to track my progress with the P90X workout program, and also show you how to build muscle.

91 Day Challenge is going to be the final blog that I create, so if you would like to continue following me, you can do so on that blog.

Basically, I had to stop blogging about things that I didn’t care to blog about. It was making me go crazy… If you blog for the money only, you’re really never going to get anywhere.

Now that I blog on 91 Day Challenge, I am a lot happier, and my content is more quality, personable, and informative. If you are one of my followers, I apologize for some of my other blogs in the past.

To put it simply, these blogs were not my best works.

I hope that you guys enjoy 91 Day Challenge. Thanks for sticking with me through these difficult times. I truly hope that my new blog can be beneficial to you.

Hey you guys.

As you can probably see, News by the People is no longer running. Now, all of my old posts will still be available for viewing, but I will not be posting any new articles, or will anybody else working with News by the People.

This will likely be the last article posted here, but I wanted to share with you another blog in which I will be posting on. You can checkout my new blog on how to build muscle by going to the home page at do strong.

I will be sharing with you guys more than just muscle building tips.

This blog was originally intended to be a fitness blog, but I will definitely be posting other tips as well. If you’re just into fitness, you will notice a featured articles section on my home page.

Also, I have been doing a lot of Guest Posting lately, and I want you guys to check out my guest post at Increase Your Blog Traffic in 1 Week.

It’s that time of year again; the time for the 34th annual Grandma’s Marathon race. The race, which will take place later today, has around 8,000 registrations. Scott Belsvik, one of the organizers for the event, noted that him and other organizers had to arrange around 6,000 pounds of noodles, 500 loaves of bread, and over 600 gallons of sauce, for the event.

Many amazing individuals will be participating in today’s Grandma’s Marathon, but two of those individuals in particular, stand out. 33-year-old Mary Akor and 49-year-old Fira Sultanova both have a history of running, and in particular, a history of running in the Grandma’s Marathon.

Last year, Mary Akor ran in the Grandma’s Marathon and won first place, to make it the 3rd year in a row, that she has won the race. A month before the race, Akor’s father passed away. Although she considered dropping out, she knew she had to stick to it. This year, Akor is dealing with fibroid tumors in her uterus, but that’s still not enough to stop her from competing.

Star Tribune managed to receive a few words from Akor:

“I wanted to come and run, even though due to my health issues I haven’t been running to my full potential… This is one year since my dad passed away, and I’m running it for him… This race means a lot to me. I’m really happy I’m alive and I’m still running, doing what I love to do.”

Akor’s surgery has been arranged for June 25th; 6 days after the race.

Fira Sultanova is another strong individual to look out for. At 49-years-old, Sultanova is looking to come back and do well in the Grandma’s Marathon, after havint knee surgery. “I’m hoping this race brings back good memories for me. I’m not concerned about how old I am, or anything else, I’m here to run the best I can. I’m happy to see my record is still standing.”

Complete stories on both individuals and today’s Grandma’s race can be seen at the Star Tribune, Duluth News Tribune, and Puggal.

The PAC  10 hopes to form a super conference were trumped today, by what is left of the big 12.  The big 12 offered more funding to the rest of their schools as a  way to keep the conference intact. That is just one of the deals they laid on the table, and it was just enough to convince the five Big 12 teams to stay put. Originally, the Pac 10 was looking to form a super conference with the current 10 teams, Colorado, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State.

The Big 12 reportedly offered the the Texas Long  Horns  ”$22 million annually from the league’s new TV contract and will be allowed to form their own network, which would add another $3 million to $4 million annually to their coffers”. With these incentives the Texas Long Horn’s decided to stay with the conference, and with that, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State decided to stay with the conference as well.

So what does this mean for the PAC 10? The PAC 10 will no longer be able to become a super conference, but they will now look into adding Utah.  If the PAC 10 gets Utah to come the conference, the Pac 10 would likely be split into two divisions. There would be six teams in each division. Each team would play all the teams in their division, as well as three out of division games. After all is said and done the top team out of each division would play a conference championship game for the PAC 10 title.  The winner of that game would then play in the Rose Bowl or a BCS bowl game if they do good enough to have a BCS bowl game bid.
