This year, I was a freshman in high school and I did cross country. I'm an okay runner, but not particularly good. I'd guess my mile time was maybe 7:20-7:30. My race pace was low 8's, in the 5k races. I went into the sport with absolutely no summer training or sports or running experience, and I actually improved over the season.
Realistically, if I train hard over the summer, how much do you think I could get my mile time and race pace down? Any tips?
yes, you can improve so much. you need to do many types of workouts, but do not over work yourself. run two or three days a week, and then when it comes a month before season starts, increase that to four to five days a week. vary your workouts too! don't do too much of the same thing. if you train well over the summer, you should be able to bring your 5K time down from 25 minutes or so down to 24 perhaps, but by the end of next year's season your times should improve a lot.
training tips:
1. interval workout: alternate fast and slow repeats of distances (ex. 3×1mile with 7 minute jog in between)
2. fartlicks: alternate fast and slow in a run (ex. run for 35 minutes with 2 minute jog followed by 1 minute fast repeated for entire run)
3. ldr (long distance runs): your basic 5-10 mile run
4. sdr (short distance runs): a quicker paced 3-5 mile run usually followed by a sprint workout
5. sprint workouts: do many repeats at short distances at fast speeds (ex. 14×200m @ 38 sec/each)
6. core workouts: ab exercises (ex. crunches, sit ups, v-ups. russian twists)

I am going to be baptized Catholic but my common law husband is not baptized and is not interested in going to church and becoming baptized at all. I am going to start going to church with my two babies. Will the catholic church still baptize my babies even if my partner refuses to become a catholic?
I'm not Catholic, but a study of Scripture would reveal there is no need for baptizing children. Water baptism is merely an outward profession of your faith, something a person cannot have until he/she reaches the age of accountability and recognizes Jesus as their Lord and Savior. ———————

its part of my essay question, people in the hw section never answer so I need some ideas on this.
did the inquistion come after the protestant reformation – if so that would be an idea – what else
thank you 
Catholicism called the "council of trent" which declared war and death on anyone against catholicism.
Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works that leads to eternal torment in hell (Galatians 1:6-9).

I know some churches call themselves "Eastern Catholic" or "Greek Catholic" or "Chaldean Catholic", etc. Are they associated with the Roman Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church?
They are associated with the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is universal and includes many different cultures.
There are 23 churches under 7 rites in the Catholic Church, which are all in full communion with the pope and share the same beliefs as all the other Catholics in the world.
Here is a list of all the rites and sui iuris churches in the Catholic Church….

Although the Orthodox also believe that they are one holy catholic and apostolic church, they identify themselves as Orthodox, not (Eastern) Catholic.

My boyfriend is Christian and Republican. I have always questioned on both ends and consider myself middle of the road on both issues. I agree with some republican agendas and some democratic agendas. Some days I belive in Christianity and others not. Can our relationship work? Is there anyone out there that has a spouse of opposing views? Does the relationship work?
I'm very sorry to have to say this, but anyone who stands in the middle of the road just gets run over

How did the Protestant belief in individualism impact democracy and capitalism?
The Protestant Church arose, like others, from the Reformation dpearheaded by martin luther in germany of the 1500s. At that time, the Gutenburg printing press came to be, and copies of the Holy Bible (which theretofore had been sequestered by the Roman Catholic Church and kept OUT of the hands of the general populace) were disseminated and widely translated. There, St. Paul stated in Romans that we did not need a priest to serve as our intermediary with God, that Christ was intermeidary in heaven. This passage led to the rejection of the Pope during the Reformation.
Political and economic developments paralleled, or soon followed, this doctrine. The colonies were isolated by a three-month ocean voyage from Europe, and became – OF NECESSITY – self sufficient and self reliant. It was, therefore, a small step to impose the new spiritual doctrine on the secular world. Why would the colonies need a central government in Europe, when local government would serve them better? Why should tax money flow to such a government – or any government – when such government did so little to support and preserve day-today life in the colonies. In such environment, John Locke (whose name the convservative John LOcke Foundation carries today), proposed that men had certain inalienable God-given rights . . . a revolutionary concept reflected in our founding documents.

I know the Aztecs just killed them as sacrifices, but there were probably a lot less victims.
Take into account the later suicides due to child abuse within the Catholic church, and the Catholic church is worldwide.
What do you feel is the damage in comparison.
Hands down– no contest– the Roman Catholic Church
1. Inquisition
2. Child Abuse Crisis

Where in the Bible does it specifically say when the soul enters the body? I would like specifics please, as in what day or week after conception.
If the Bible does not specifically say "Abortion is Murder", by saying that it is, aren't you presuming to speak for God?
It actually states the opposite.
Numbers 5 gives a chilling example of God performing abortions on behalf of husbands who have been cheated on. Christians like to pretend that the women accused of cheating weren't in fact pregnant, but in order to come up with that apology, the reader has to ignor the verse about the innocent women being able to give birth in the future.
God dictated abortion for adultery, its in the bible in black and white, yet they continue to pretend that it is against his will.
Edit: Severely Confused Leviticus 20:15-16 does address beastiality.
