Pinky toe: Although it may not be structurally the most "fragile" bone in the body, the most often broken bone in the body is the 5th (or pinky) toe. In some sports, like sailing, the pinky toe is broken in 50% of athletes who are involved in the sport for more than 2 years.

Yes!: You will accommodate and will not have to work as hard so you will not get as good of a workout. I am a big advocate of hiit (high intensity interval training) and recommend you add hill work or some sprints to your workout to challenge yourself - 30 sec sprint with 90 sec jog works well x 8. This workout also enhances natural secretion of growth hormone and increases your resting metabolism.

All depends: 1) do you take narcotics regularly? Your system will metabolize more rapidly.
2) are you asking how long they will provide effect? Typically 4-6 hours.
3) are you asking how long will it be before you test negative on a urine drug screen? Probably 2-3 days.

A 38-year-old member asked:
How long will pseudoephedrine last in your body?
1 doctor answer • 2 doctors weighed in
Dr. Thomas Benda, jranswered
ENT and Head and Neck Surgery 34 years experience
Depends on dosage: The bottles are usually labelled as to how long they last. 60 mg is marketed to last 4 to 6 hours, 120 mg 12 hours, and 240 mg all day. The generics may not work as a sustained release tablet as well as brand name drugs here. Pseudophedrine can cause palpitations, jitteriness, insomnia, and high blood pressure. By about age 40 i tell most people not to take it with any regularity.
