how about a forum just for the gals?

Hi, How about a forum for the women? I notice alot of talk here about womans hormonal issues and running ...maybe a womans forum would allow for a place to learn from others how all the hormonal phases in a womans life play out in our efforts to become I assume fine runners.

Also, maybe a re-direct to an eating disorder web site for the many who seem to be running as a part of their eating disorder. Wow, does that sadden me...as a mom and a woman.

I second this. Looking around the site, I see a lack of information addressing women's issues in running. Things that guys just don't deal with... like how to properly choose a sports bra (it's as important as the shoes! there's tons of info about shoes and zero about bras.
