Sport News: Andre Woodson and the Wildcats became the latest team to shake up the national title race this season, but the first team in nearly four year to take down the top-ranked team in the regular season, beating the Tigers 43-37 in triple overtime Saturday.

Woodson found Steve Johnson open in the end zone for a 7-yard score in the third extra period. The 2-point conversion, required after two overtimes, failed but it didn’t matter.

With a chance to win it, LSU couldn’t get a first down on four straight running plays. Charles Scott was stopped a yard short on fourth-and-2 and No. 17 Kentucky had it’s first victory over a No. 1 team since 1964, when it beat Mississippi.

Although running is a physical activity that can help you strengthen your legs and cardiovascular health, running is much, much more than that. Running can actually help you build your self-esteem, willpower, concentration and focus.

For beginners
If you’re just beginning, you may consider it a huge accomplishment to be able to focus enough to make it to the end of your street without stopping. But what you will find as you are physically able to run for greater lengths of time is that you no longer have to focus on the physical aspects of running, but rather, running itself. You will wonder why you are running so far, how you will feel at the end and best of all, how far can you possibly go?

Getting started with an exercise program can be confusing, especially if you’ve never exercised on a regular basis before. Whatever your goal is, just remember to start out at a comfortable pace and increase your amount of beginners exercise as tolerated to increase strength and endurance. You’ll be fit in no time if you stick to your guns and stay motivated. However, if it’s been a long time since you’ve exercised regularly, if you’ve been sedentary for over a year, if you’re pregnant, have diabetes, if you have any type of chronic health condition, like heart problems or high blood pressure, if you’re over the age of sixty-five and don’t currently exercise, if you’ve ever experienced chest pains, dizziness, or fainting spells, or if you’re recovering from an illness or injury, or if you’ve been diagnosed with any other medical condition or even if you haven’t, you should get a full check up from your healthcare provider and get a medical release before staring any type of beginners exercise program.
