Movie Preview: Eleven Minutes

Sure, he won the first season of Project Runway, but that doesn't mean Jay McCarroll has had it easy. As one of the first reality TV winners to be catapulted to fame, McCarroll's faced a lot of criticism about why he hasn't done more. He was a subject of a story about Bravo's struggling reality stars back in 2007, a cautionary tale about the price of sudden stardom.

A couple of years ago, Jay's post-show plight was the subject of a Bravo special, and now those same filmmakers have turned his story into a feature-length documentary, Eleven Minutes. The film is set to hit theaters Feb. 20 and traces Jay's journey to create a collection, show it at New York Fashion Week, and market it to stores.

Jay's always been better at the art side of fashion than at the business aspects (or at sucking up to people, for that matter), and so I'm curious to see how he navigates the high-end fashion world. Even if he's not your favorite Runway winner, would you check out this movie about "the constant balancing of commerce with art, fame with talent and reality TV with actual reality"?

Beginner's 5K Training Schedule

Susi May — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 11:13:49 PST

Running your first 5K race is a magical thing! You train, you run, and you realize you like the adrenalin of the race and crossing the finish line is a unique high. Many consider the 5K distance a gateway race; meaning completing this distance leads to other races. If you can run 3.1 miles why not try for 6.2 and compete in a 10K? Why not tackle a triathlon?

Since many of you listed running a 5K as one of your fitness goals for the 2011, I thought it best if you trained with a plan. Physical therapist and running specialist Julie Ann Dougery of the CMPC Running Clinic created this 5K training schedule just for FitSugar. Her goal is to help you run a 10-minute mile race and train injury free. Before starting this 11-week schedule, which starts on a Wednesday so you could start tomorrow, you should be able to run 20 to 30 minutes continuously without pain. The plan has you running three days a week, supplemented with cross training - but be sure to rest at least one day a week.

Check out the training plan.
