Foot Tip of the Day

By -
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with you right hand. Your foot will change direction - - and there's nothing you can do about it.

Thanks to Chad for today's tip.

It all depends on how you draw your six. Draw it from the bottom loop and you're fine. ;-) I'm trying to decide what the take-home message is from this tip, since all of our tips have take-home messages. Um, how about "you might think you have control over your body, but not really." Or...."this will help with your hand-foot coordination." What do you think?

hmmm, I had no trouble going top to bottom on my 6 and keeping my foot moving in the same direction. My brain must be even more messed up than I thought.

Are you making sure to use the right foot and the right hand? When I did it, it wasn't a problem but I was using my left hand

I think it's more of a self exploratory, what does it mean to you, kind of tip.

May be the take away is: "If you're ever held hostage and they're going to kill you if you can't draw a 6 with your hand while moving your foot clockwise. You should draw the six from the bottom up and you'll be safe."

Definately using the right hand and right foot. Perhaps it comes along with being so left brained...could this be a study in what side of the brain you use? Because I couldn't do it left foot left hand. hmmmm

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."
