Re: Sports Drinks - useless or worse? (TV alert: Marketplace

I was thinking that the need for electrolyte replacement, and absorption of sugar and electrolytes is individualized. For example, in my biking group, we have a gal who can go ~ 100 K without anything other than water, and on the other hand, we have a man in the same group, who needs to eat/drink ev...

Re: Teacher missing after run

The runner and Smitherman's partner seem to have similarities. Leave, come home. Leave again never to come home. Very sad. :(

Re: Metatarsal Stress Fracture

I had one. Taping it up helped a lot. Something I would recommend for your vacation, as you'll likely be walking around a lot. Watch out for soft sandy beaches, and uneven ground.

Re: Carpal Tunnel or...?

I think it's stemming from something in my shoulder blade area. I have been rolling it out, splinting my wrist, and taking Aleve. I have had a much better sleep last night, and hopefully, my massage therapist can fit me in tomorrow. :)

Ugh. Up again! Ache in my trapezius then wrist, then sleepy, prickly thumb, pointer finger, middle and ring fingers. Took 2 Advil and rolled my shoulder blades. No relief.

Carpal Tunnel or...?

Something is keeping me awake at night, and it's getting worse. I wake up b/c my right hand, particularly the middle and ring finger are "asleep". There's a bit of toothache-like pain in the hand, wrist and forearm, as well as the shoulder area. Not sure if it's a pinched nerve or somethin...

Good. I'll just keep doing the assisted pullups, and work on all the other stuff to build strength in my lats, traps, deltoids and forearms!
