 | | Don't ever tell Forrest Gump you're a runner! - It's hard to hate Forrest. He's as sweet as shrimp ice cream plus the guy runs 15 miles just to get to my place, so I really shouldn't be a wimp about a mere three miles... but it was raining. And it was dark. Combining the two meant that I kept stepping into puddles. My socks were soaked. My sweatpants were soaked. My sweatshirt was soaked. |
 | | How many calories for eating a brain? - To my fellow joggers... we live in an anxious time. If you are going to run on a foggy morning, be ready, for there are men with axes who might mistake you for the undead. This is why we always stretch before we run. |
 | | Maori reflections on running - On a warm sunny day, I run through sun filled valley, bathed in the healing glow of Ranginui, ancestral Sky Father. In a southerly storm I run the hills: gale rain lashed, thunder growled, lightning flash-warned; at play with Tawhirimatea, ancestral cousin, God of the Winds. |
 | | Running with sun protection - Cumulative exposure to the sun is a continuing challenge. A minimal running-apparel approach to running gear may feel more comfortable but the increased exposure to the sunlight increases the possibility of developing cancer. When running, the best approach is to use sunscreens and sun protectors. |
 | | Running with allergies and asthma - Exercise, which helps stimulate the cardiovascular system, is an important activity for everyone, including patients who have asthma or other allergic disorders. Although exercise will not cure or necessarily improve their condition, it will help them to feel their best, both physically and psychologically. |
