CNN YouTube Presidential Debate!

SoFarGone — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 17:20:00 GMT

I've gotta confess I'm really excited to watch this. Tonight it's the Democrats (!!!). Anyhow I think it's going to be cool because it's not taking place in some stuffy, overly controlled debate situation where the candidates can pretty much have ready-made answers to extremely predictable questions. The questions will be coming from average people, many of them close to our ages, and will hopefully really keep the candidates on their toes.

Of course it's also moderated by the awesome Anderson Cooper....my favorite newscaster by far.....so it should be fun. Anyone else watching?

Whats yours?

Running with young kids

Any advice on how to get young kids running? I'm new to running myself so I am at a slow pace too. My son is 7 and I think will really like it once he gets going, it's just how to get him excited about it. Any suggestions???

What's wrong with my Hip?

jcoulter — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 17:13:00 GMT

I have a pain located on the side of my left hip that seemed to develop when I increased my running activity. Went to Doc #1. He took x-rays.....no fractures. Said it was a muscle pull. I rested it for several weeks. Didn't help. Went to Doc #2. He took x-rays also.....no fracture. Said I have hip bursitis most likely. Gave me cortisone meds and instructed me to do some exercises. Didn't help. In the meantime I did some research on the net. Hip bursitis is an inflamation of the bursa sac located on the side of the hip. The sac lies over the ball part of the ball and socket joint. If you move up the side of the hip about 5 inches, you get to the iliac crest. This is the bony part of your hip that is about where the top of your pants ride against. Love handles are right in this area. I don't think I have hip bursitis because the pain is not located at the point of the hip where the bursa sac lies. The pain is actually just below (maybe an inch) the iliac crest (top bony part of hip. Do you think I actually have hip bursitis or is it some other injury? Do you have any suggestions as to what exactly is this injury?? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, I'd like to hear your story.

Junior in High School ~Need some tips

Loves2Runn — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 02:06:11 GMT

I'm 17 and im a junior. EVer since 8th grade running I started running totally mental. I did fine Middle school years and then I just started running mental. I think about how tired I am and then I just constantly think about that instead of running to catch up or to win. I tell myself im tired when im not even tired. I know it should be a easy fix.. just don't think about it, but i've tried! When you guys are in a race and you're getting tired what do you think about? An example is during a mile, right when I hit that 400 im telling myself im dead tired even tho im not even tired, so then I slow down a TON. I know this is crazy but its ruining my running career. I love running a lot so if you guys could help me fix this I will be greatful! Thanks for reading this

Listen to Music While Running?

jeff19 — Wed, 10 May 2006 05:16:00 GMT

I don't, and don't think I'd like to cause I'm distracted easily and would get hit by a car or something. But I like "singing" either out loud or in my head, or humming while I run. I talk to myself too, or make up stories. Anyone else do that? And/or what do you like to listen to when you run? why?

I just saw this video and had to share it. These kids run so FAST! I played soccer in high school and never understood cross country until I became a runner in the last couple years. I have a new found respect. Enjoy:
