**coltonwade** · 01-04-2008, 04:50 PM

Can anyone recommend some good ones ?

BTW Scroll up on the first page i think the link for the pod casts are there

i have another question..

i have a treadmill, do you guys run with a treadmill or outside, and if you do run with a treadmill, do you use an incline?

i'm thinking of incline 10...but want to know if anyone else did that.

**coltonwade** · 01-04-2008, 04:54 PM

I do both , If i use the treadmill for now i dont use an incline.

I live in McKinney - North of Dallas. I had my surgery done in Houston and travel back there for my fills.

What part are you from TexGrly?

I only run outside right now. I go to the jr.high up the street and use their track. It has that foamy stuff on it so I think that helps my joints a bit. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my feet and hands so I try to be sensitive to the beating they are taking. Even still I have to wear really comfy shoes the next day to give my feet a rest.
