If you walk or run regularly as your form of cardio, it's important to exercise on all types of surfaces. Doing so offers varying degrees of shock absorption for your joints and feet, so mixing your exercise terrain strengthens the muscles around your hips, knees, and ankles in different ways. Instead of sticking to the treadmill all the time, try to alternate your workouts between pavement, grass, dirt trails, sand, track, and your beloved treadmill.

The video for Gnarls Barkley's "Run" actually makes me want to, well, run. And dance. And stomp around. 
Even though the Chicago Marathon was marred by scorching temperatures, I am still thinking about layering for cooler weather. You want extra layers that will keep you warm without adding unnecessary bulk to your frame.

I wasn't born a runner, but now that I've been doing it for a while, I crave it. Even when I get on my sneaks to go for a walk, I get this surge of energy and inspiration to run instead. Running gives me an incredibly strong feeling inside and out.

When the weather is bad, or you don't feel safe running or walking outside, treadmills are great. The only thing that's bad is that you are doing the same repetition of motions over and over again. You use all the same muscles, which is very unlike moving on actual terrain outdoors (and very boring too).
We all know how important it is to stretch out our muscles, especially after a run, but I also stretch before to warm up my hips and hamstrings. I often walk briskly or jog slowly for about 5 minutes to get the blood flowing before stretching. You just have to be careful to move slowly with complete awareness since your muscles are usually tense and tight in the beginning.
Spring has bloomed all over and when I went to pick up my allergy medicine from the pharmacy yesterday, they were actually all out! You know that's because tons of people are suffering and reaching for drugs to deal with their symptoms.
Allergies affect people differently, so if you get a stuffy nose, congestion in your sinuses and fluid in your lungs, you could take decongestants, but they'll end up drying you up everywhere (even your lady business).
