Tips for ‘The Highest Sperm Count on the Block’

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Fertility and infertility are indeed facts of life.  While it may not seem like an obvious parallel allow me to tap into my inner philosopher; In many ways fertility and infertility are similar to joys and pains associated with being single and  married.  Some people are happy in their current situations, for others, the grass is much greener on the other side.

For example in my family, if the men look too long at their women, you can often expect to have a baby shower invitation in about 6 months.  For others, countless trips to specialist are a part of the challenging journey to becoming a parent.  The guys at DadLabs (Media content for ‘SuperDads’) recently produced a great piece on Male Fertility, that will have educate male viewers as to how to create, “the highest sperm counts on the block.“  Enjoy these insights into increasing male fertility.

If you have any tips for enhancing male fertility be sure to leave your comments for the TriangleJr readers.

How to Run 2 Miles and Gain Weight!

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Looking for a way to enjoy the nice weather the Triangle is so overdue for?  Consider taking your kids to the Krispy Kreme Challenge 2009 and explaining why 5,038 registered adults willfully run a 2 mile race for charity.  Oh did I forget to mention that at the halfway point, each runner is expected to eat a 1 dozen Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts?  Organized by students of NC State, each participant runs to raise funds for the NC Children’s Hospital.

From the Challenge Website:

01.20.09 ESPN at Krispy Kreme Challenge

We are pleased to say that ESPN will be coming to the Krispy Kreme Challenge this year! It might be YOU they catch eating a dozen fresh doughnuts at the 2009 race!

01.20.09 Parking for the race

So we’ve gotten many emails about parking on race day this year. We are avidly working to make parking as easy as possible. We hope to have volunteers pointing the way to the best parking. If you want a heads up, your best bet is Reynolds Coliseum Deck in the middle of campus. Most parking on campus is open during the weekends too, just look for signs.

More Challenge Information

While I avoid Krispy Kreme like the plague, not because they are “bad” but because I know my limitations, I encourage TriangleJr readers to get out and get involved with the challenge or any other fundraiser.
