I was plaqued by ITBS earlier this year. I purchased a foam roller and it helped tremendously. Also, if you are running outside, pay attention to the road you are running on. My ITBS developed on my left side by running on a road that sloped downward to the left. I try now to avoid sloped...
These aren't my favorite but everyone loves them. They are also good to serve on Thanksgiving because of the cranberries.
CRANBERRY TREASURE COOKIES
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened

I recently bought the Iron Gym that I saw on TV - www.irongymtv.com. It fits to the top of your door frame and is easy to install. I love it. You can pull it down and out of the way quickly. It also comes with abs straps and you can use it on the floor or tricep dips and push ups. I love...
I have a regular-size bosu that my sister bought me for my birthday. She says it was $100 and I love it. I haven't really seen one cheaper than that but I think it is worth it.
I have several DVDs for the Bosu. My absolute favorite is "Awesome Strength" by Mindy Mylrea. She uses the...
I pay $75 for just a cut which I think is very expensive. But I color my own hair and go only about 3-4 times a year. I love my stylist. He is fantastic and worth every penny. I was leaving the salon one day after my cut and a woman stopped me and said my haircut was fantastic and that I...

I ordered this as soon as I saw it on TV. I got it in the mail today but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'm not sure if I'll have time to tonight but I'll post as soon as I give it a try.

I worked where my dad worked in the Human Resources department. I was probably 16. I worked only 2 -2 1/2 hours a day. I would leave school, walk three blocks, catch a bus to the end of the line and then walk maybe 3/4 of a mile through parking lots and over a highway overpass to get there...
It could be your IT band. Usually you will feel it on the outside of your knee first but I believe it does run up into the hip as well. I started feeling my IT band while running on a sloped street. I usually feel it outside my knee while running but then maybe the next day it will start to...
Slams balls with my 18-lb. med ball. I also like (or maybe hate) doing bear crawls especially doing them backwards. I think doing upper body work in general makes me feel strong.

If you're not crawling and not walking and your moving without wheels then you're running. :)
I started doing run/walk intervals and I still do and I consider it running. I have leaned out by doing this.
I don't have kids either - at 47 but I have never regretted it. Personally, I think I act and look much younger that most mothers my age. I heard people say that kids keep you young but I personally think not having kids keeps me young. I don't have to watch my language or what I watch on TV...
