Running/Jogging Questions
I'm relatively new to running. Only up to a little over two miles. I try to run about 1-2x a week, more hopefully. I'd like to build up distance and speed over time. 1/2 marathon one day in the future? who knows. But here's my questions: 1) Is it better to run before or after you eat. I will sometimes run after work and…

Xbox 360 4Gig - is it worth it?
So, I've read a handful of posts from those of you who have the Xbox 360 with the kinect, and I'm thinking about picking one up. The only thing is that the only bundle available at most stores around here right now is the 4Gig Xbox with the Kinect. Now, I'm a gamer at heart as it is, and 4 gigs sounds uber small - I mean,…

What is a good price for a gym membership?
Hey - I just called our local National Fitness Center - and the rates are $42.95. Is that good? It sounds high to me, but I am a cheap-skate at heart. (Plus a one time $15 card fee, plus a one time $25 paperwork fee - and a annual $30 maintance fee) If I sign up for a gym membership - that's the one I would want to go to…
