Do You Want To Run Like a Gazelle?
If you'd like to run like a gazelle, all you need is a whopping great big lion to chase you down the road. If you want motivation like that, then just start out at the front line of a big city race of tens of thousand runners. The gun goes off and every gazelle in the front line runs for their life as the herd chases them down.

What Comes Between You And Running?
I hate rain. I know it is selfish and we all need rain to survive, but there is nothing that makes me want to stay inside, more than rain. Actually, I don't mind being in the rain, and I don't mind if it starts raining when I am out running, but I hate heading out the door into the rain.

Calluses - To Trim or Not To Trim
A callus on the heel or the big toe can causes a lot of pain for a runner. It can develop an even more painful blister underneath and can limit a runner's performance or simply decrease the enjoyment of run. Many runners want to take a razor blade to the callus tissue and trim it down until the skin is raw. Some rub the callus with a pumice stone until their hand goes numb and others apply expensive creams and lotions. But, no matter what you do, somehow, the callus always comes back.

Runner's Best Friend? The Bushman's Blow
If you are anything like me, if you run, then your nose will run too. That sort of sounds like how when you smile the whole world smiles with you, but when you fall, the whole world walks right over your back(at least at the start of a race). But I can't get off the track so early in an article.
