Itchy Legs

Google is handy! I had to get to the bottom of my itchy legs (only while running) and found a great link! Basically, I have sedentary capillaries! My legs aren't used to that kind of torture, so the increase of the blood flow due to running does crazy things to me! I know you want to know more about this! This link will fully inform you on the issue of itchy legs! I guess my greatest relief, is that I'm not alone in the world when it comes to running and itchy legs!

Lots of Firsts: Running and Blogging

First #1: BLOGGING: Whitney and Ashley are doing it, so I'm gonna try this blogging thing out too! I'll never be as witty as Whit or have creative pictures like Ashley, but I'll give it my best shot! SOOOO for my first blog entry, I think I'll talk about my other "first" tonight!

First #2: RUNNING: I avoid running if at all possible. I'll run to the phone if it's ringing and I'm far away........but that's the extent of it. SOOOOOO Kenny called and wanted to go run. I told him I'd go along, but I'd walk. Once we got started I felt compelled to keep up, so I'd run for little stretches at a time. I already knew I hated running, but now I REALLY know it. However, I wonder if I kept with it, and went a little farther each time, if I'd grow to like it. So this might be a new thing for me. We will see...................One side effect from the running, besides breathing too hard and sweating, was ITCHY legs! My legs were itching like CRAZY when I finished. Bad circulation? I don't know..........I'll have to google that one!
