  1. hello, i have a medical condition called attention efecit
    decorder........it allows me to display incredible bursts of phisical
    energy. the medication for this brain condition is methamphetamine
    (speed, cocain like drug) which has a calming effect on me instead of
    the usual hyper effect......my question is if i take part in a marathon
    without using my medication will my medication still be in my system
    months after taking it and will i get disqualified if it is?....i have
    been told that these type of drugs forever stay locked in skin cells
    whilst the rest of the body eventually flushes them. the skin cells
    break down when weight is lost and the drugs are re released into the
    blood stream. does this rule me out of running professionally? and is
    there any truth behind this?

    many thanks in advance

    You are talking about possible drug tests and hopes of professional
    running. I can't really answer your questions but I am interested in
    your race times - you have to be pretty darn good to run as a pro.
    Perhaps your coach (I assume you have one) can offer advice.

    cheers,

  6. If the speed has a reverse effect on you, then what's with all the
    run-on sentences?
