Dirty
Girl Gaiters
Anyone
can wear black gaiters! But a dirty girl’s gotta do what a dirty girl’s
gotta do! Accessorize! Dirty Girl Gaiters keep the debris out of your
shoes with ultralight style and sass. And you’ll have something fun to
look at while you hang your sorry head and shuffle your tired feet.
This soft, comfortable four-way stretch Spandex-y unisexy gaiter weighs
less than two ounces. It hooks under the front shoelace and secures to
the back of the shoe with a self-adhesive Velcro strip. They are
dirt-cheap for $23 per pair. [read

Food
for Fuel - Miso Noodle Soup
These days, miso is not as unfamiliar to most Americans as it was even
a decade ago. With the increased popularity of sushi bars and authentic
Japanese and Chinese eateries around the country, miso soup is more
than recognizable to most patrons. While the fermented soybean paste is
somewhat high in sodium, and some of its health claims have been
recently exaggerated and contradicted, studies have shown that miso can
aid digestion, strengthen the immune system and even lower cholesterol.
It is also a complete protein [read more]

Meeting The Third Man
I
have a secret. On my first 30 mile run, in the sweltering heat of White
House, TN, I had an encounter with the “Third Man”. It not only changed
my view of training and racing, but it changed my life bringing me
peace, joy and a love of training that cannot be quelled by my aging
body. It drives me to push my [read

Orthotics
For Runners
When
I started practicing PT ten years ago, every runner wanted orthotics to
either treat or prevent injury. I would measure and cast at least one
patient a week. Orthotics were considered the cure-all for running
injuries. Jump forward to today and fewer runners are asking for
orthotics despite increased evidence supporting their use and the
significant increase in the total number of runners.
Can they help you? On a personal level, I am a distance runner and have
worn custom orthotics for nine of 20 years of running. While an
individualized evaluation will best determine if a custom or
pre-fabricated orthotic can help you, I hope the following guides [read more]
