Irritated About Bumps on Your Arms?
As long as I've known my best friend, she's been complaining about these tiny red bumps on the backs of her arms. She thought they were some kind of acne, like what you get on your back when you workout, so she went to her dermatologist to find out.
It turns out that it was a common condition called keratosis pilaris - a complicated name meaning bumpy skin.
Sty In My Eye
"Oh my - I'll try not to cry but there's a sty in my eye."

HRM technology is based on reading the body's electric current, which varies from person to person. To ensure a proper heart rate display, heart rate monitor manufacturers stress the importance of wet electrodes, which is why most HRM users lick or spit on their transmitters.
For Minor Bumps and Bruises Use R.I.C.E.
Accidents happen, they just do. If something serious has happened to you, then you should definitely see a doctor. For minor injuries (bumps, sprains, etc), say you rolled your ankle while getting off the treadmill (don't laugh, it's been done), use the RICE program to whip yourself back into shape:

Safety Steps: Running in the Dark
The end of daylight saving time means that many of us will be running in the dark. For safety reasons, try going on a morning run instead. Wake up at the same time you did during DST and use that "extra" hour for an outdoor run.
Don't Wait Until You're Starving to Eat
I am just here to remind you that hunger pains, dizziness, lack of energy, and irritability are the body's way of letting us know it's time to refuel.
