Do You Have a Floor Runner?
A floor runner is never the first item on a home decor shopping list, but it can be a smart addition. If you have the right space for it, that extra sliver of texture can instantly warm up a room, and the dose of pattern can add a bit of visual interest or tie colors together. Do you have one?Source

Fit Gift Guide: Woman on the Run
I know a lot of you run, which means you also have friends and loved ones that run too. Buying gifts for the runner in your life is such an easy thing to do because buying and receiving gear is so much fun. Here are a few holiday gift ideas for the woman on the run in your life.
Steal of the Day: JCPenney Hemstitch Table Linens
Even if you don't entertain often, every home should have a classic and simple set of table linens, for the occasion that guests drop by and to nudge you to actually sit down and enjoy your brunch every Sunday morning. If you've inherited some antique linens, that's wonderful, but you may want to keep them in good shape for parties. There's no need to drop big bucks on your tabletop, especially when the JCPenney Hemstitch Table Linens ($12-$27, 50% off) are so affordable.
Inspiration for Women Runners
I just found this sweet little website chock full of designs for women who run. You can opt to put these sayings on t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, bumper stickers, and magnets. There are so many ways to celebrate your running lifestyle!
Yoga and Running: Opposites Attract
Yoga is great for stretching and toning your muscles, and increasing flexibility, but as far as a great cardio workout for your heart, it doesn't quite cut it.
That's why running is the perfect complement to yoga. It's practically the opposite of yoga on the exercise scale.
How Can I Prevent Shin Splints?
Chances are, if you are a runner, you've experienced the pain of shin splints. It basically refers to the condition called Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS).
When you overwork the muscles in the shin, the muscles exert a great amount of force on the shin bones (tibia and fibula) to keep your foot, ankle, and lower leg stable.
Get in Gear: Timex Ironman Triatholon Bodylink
If you don't have an iPod Nano, than you obviously don't have the Nike+ iPod that monitors your speed, distance, and calories burned while walking or running. If you did, you would have spent about $190-$230 depending on what size Nano you bought.
If you still want to know all those stats, and others like your heart rate and target heart rate, you should check out this device by Timex.
Running to Cure Asthma?
I LOVE running, but that wasn't always the case. As a kid, I always hated it. I played inside with my dolls to avoid those stupid tag games (I was always "it").
Cell Phone Holders for Runners
There are holders for your iPod when you're running, but it's also a good idea to have your cell phone with you too. But where's a girl to put it? Nope, sorry, in the cleavage is NOT a good answer.
Safety First
Whether you are a runner, walker, biker, climber, hiker, or just a person who doesn't sit on their butt all day, you've got to get a Road ID.
It's just good to be prepared in case of an accident. If you don't believe me, check out this testimonial.
