The Fleet Feet in Louisville is a great store, both owners are Runners (with a capital R):) and so are all the employees. I've always gotten a good fit there. Bean

Mmmmm, Pinot Noir..... (Homer Simpson voice)

We've had the same problem. Haven't cancelled yet. We don't have cable, and basically the only entertainment money we spend is Netflix and our broadband service. I'm really angry with Netflix. I've reported movies lost before it took so long to get back to them. Maybe I'll try the return...

I can't believe I forgot papayas. I think they're called Caribbean Gold or Red or something, the big ones. Really ripe (hard to find them like that) with a lime squeezed over it. Heaven!

Right now red bananas and mangos. I'll live on watermelon this summer. Hey, if you have an asian market near you, I'll sometimes go buy a case of Thai baby coconuts. I'll drink one of them every day for a week. They're so delicious you'd think it's sinful but it's not! I love...

So far my best vacations have been in Italy and Napa...yes, I'm a wine lover. If I just stick with the wine and don't indulge in the food indescretions that so easily come with it, I'm fine. I have found that for me, personally, my body, wine does not cause fat gain. It's the food that can...

Hey! My April issue of Alternative Medicine magazine had an article on "kicking" RLS. One of the potential triggers mentioned is low iron. Something that may be worth checking into. There's also a laundry list of potential supplements to try including calcium (1,500 mgs a day) and magnesium...

Yesterday was 7.5 miles, and I was wiped the rest of the day. Felt like I couldn't recover. Legs were shaky and everything. Pretty weird. I think today I'm going to keep it light, maybe three miles on the treadmill and some yoga. I didn't get my AM cardio in today because I overslept. :(...

God bless all of the racers and racers in training today! It was high winds locally, and I could only do 4.5 miles outdoors before I ran in to use the treadmill. 7.5 total and I was a lazy bum the rest of the day.

Hi Judy! I wear the original PowerStep, although after seeing the ad, I may have to give the new and improved a try. :) PF was stubborn, but I guess I am too! Sounds like you are too! Downward dog is like my secret in the arsenal of stretching.

I hate to be boring but when I feel least like eating a plain banana is a great recovery meal for me. That and a coffee and I'm happy. Hopefully there'll be some more drink-like suggestions for you.

Flying Pig is a very famous one... but upon seeing that Napa has one, well, I guess that would be my choice. :)

Hi, I had PF several years ago. I went to see a podiatrist who was a runner, and we developed a plan of attack that really worked for me. a) I wore PowerStep brand shoe inserts always. From the minute my feet hit the floor in the AM, I was wearing shoes with that brand of inserts. No...

Hi Gayle- I'm sorry that you're struggling with this. I imagine most people who live today where ample food and temptation abound, have struggled with it. Maybe you could look at your food journal to see if there are emotional triggers. Or if you undereat consistently, and then go...

No response other than I totally, completely feel your pain. :) The wonderful side of my struggle with Tanita is that it forced me to really pay attention. As a result, I feel probably the best I've felt in my adult life. And it's not like I usually felt horrible, but I now feel awesome...

You can sooooooo do this. You are stronger than any substance. Keep your hands busy. Learn knitting, do a crossword, do some gardening. don't drink!! That was a huge trigger for me, hanging out with friends at a bar. I simply did not do it. You can beat this and you will.

No, I've not experienced a side stitch of that duration. One way to test the theory as to whether it's muscular is to take an anti-inflammatory and see if that provides relief. If so, you may have just pulled a muscle while stretching and treat accordingly. Having said that, I am not a...

Good luck to all the racers and runners out there. Good weekend for it, seems spring has officially sprung. I ran 7.5 yesterday, three flat and 4.5 hilly. Ate way too light yesterday about 1200 kcal and woke up at 3 AM STARVING! It's been a non-stop eat fest today. Rest today, hitting...

Thanks so much! I'll give it a try.

I usually try to get my protein from whole food sources, but have days when I'm in a rush, or want something light before bed, etc. I really don't to get soy protein because I use soy milk, sometimes have sandwiches with the soy chicken, etc., so thought hemp might be a good one to try. Anyone...
