I just found out the secret to pain free running! You might find it hard to believe that after all the years I've been running it took me this long to find it, but it's true. Once you know it, the secret is really quite simple: I'll write about in detail in my next members' newsletter, so if you're interested in pain free running this would be a great time to register (at no cost). I promise I won't spam you or sell your e-mail address!

Meanwhile, there is other exciting news. They say that good things come in threes, so let me give you the other two.

First, you will see that we now have a runners' forum. The idea here is for you to exchange any thoughts or questions you have with other runners. At present, it's an unmoderated forum in the open area, but I may change this if it starts to give problems.

The forum is intended for your use, not mine, but I may put in my two cents' worth now and then (try to stop me!) You can use it to tell us about your own running experiences, races you've entered for, what you have found out about pain free running, problems or successes you have had, or anything else related to running. You can also use it to find a running partner in your area -- I see it being a huge benefit for you!

The last item is the contest that has now been running for a few weeks, which you will learn about as a member. I plan to close it in another few days: we already have some winners and some great suggestions (including the idea for a runners' forum). Following one of the contest suggestions, I plan on starting a series on nutrition facts for runners in the members' newsletters.

So, if you want to be a winner in the contest, learn about pain free running or find out about nutrition facts for runners, register now, before it's too late (the box is on the right at the top of this page)!
