I Read It On the Internet- It Must Be TRUE!

What have you learned from thorough research on the Internet?

I'm always skeptical but I'm also a believer that the Internet is such a great teaching tool.

From the Internet: I learned how to run and how to find the right running shoes (no special stores available to me at the time). I learned how to swim watching youtube videos. I have learned stretches and cross training for treating/preventing injuries. I've learned how to cook! I learn more about nutrition all the time. Also picked out new leg compression sleeves, long run snacks, protein powders, and shoe inserts... all from information compiled on the big ol' web.

My favorite is definitely learning to swim after watching a couple of youtube videos :laugh: I invested in a suit, goggles, cap and earplugs and jumped in. Boy, I'm sure I looked like a one woman circus act in the water but I'm so glad I stuck with it!
