Trying out for the Stooges?

One leg stronger than the other?
This is a silly question. If you always run round a running track in the same direction, is one leg going to end up stronger than the other? Should you alternate directions?

Where do you run outside?
I live in a rural part of the country with very winding roads that I'm scared to drive on let a lone run along. There are plenty of fields but most of them are tilled (sp?) or growing this time of year, so where do you run?

Something to help the routine on "rest days"?
I am a creature of habit, my body wakes me up the same time everyday, I get hungry the same time everyday, etc. I have started working out on the treadmill and while I can do it everyday I am starting to feel the burn, and as such think I would benefit from resting the odd day or two a week rather than carrying on. But I…

Calories on the Cruise, any detailed info?
First of all, I plan to eat pretty much what I like while we are on the cruise. That being said it shouldn't stop me being smart about it, I've emailed the cruise line to ask about nutritional info on their stock evening meals that I know don't change much, but has anyone ever had a response back about this?

Inflammatory posts
Has anyone noticed how it is the smart people that actually know what they are doing that seem to respond to the inflammatory posts that generally knock the people that follow the "Diet-du-jour"? The people that follow the herd rarely get that irony of ignoring the common sense stuff. Oh Teh Horror :smile: We need some…

Grrrrrr - Finding raw ingredients
Just need to gripe. We had mashed potatoes last night, not in a tub, not frozen, not as a powder from..... (Insert Dramatic Music) A Potato! It took me forever to actually find just potato and add a Tbsp of spread to it. Everything insisted that my potatoes had 500mg of sodium in them because they were store bought. Is…

How does my body actually keep the calories?
This is a little indelicate, but I am so curious I have to ask and Google is letting me down. I used to be a once a day bathroom visitor. Since I've been eating healthier and drinking more water I seem to be in there with a number 2 a couple of hours after every meal. If my body is turning over food that quickly, how can…

Snacks for when you are ravenous
For some reason after working out today I can't stop eating, I would probably eat the furniture if I thought it tasted good.
