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.

This means different things to different people, but it is safe to say that there aren’t that many runners out there that sleep happily when they dream about running slowly. Yet running slowly can be used as a tool to help us run faster when it counts.

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. One stumble and fall and the next thing they will feel is the trampling of tens of thousands of dollars worth of expensive running shoes that triumph by running straight over their humiliated heads. Running like a gazelle involves running with that sort of fear.
