Running Tips:
- Wear spandex shorts under your regular running shorts so you don’t chafe
- Cotton socks will only lead to blisters; invest in socks designed for running.
- Join your local running club—check with your local running store fitness center and/or recreation department to find one
- Find a committed running partner. It is much harder to skip a run when you have someone else depending on you
- Remember that- It gets easier.
- Accept and appreciate the fact that not every single run can be a good one
- Do not compare yourself to others. Run within yourself and for yourself first.
- Even a bad run is better then no run at all
- If you normally run with music try skipping it and listening to your feet to hear your pace and your gait
- Don’t be discouraged if you don’t experience weight loss immediately
- Start a running blog, to see your progress and set goals
- Hydrate. Make it a habit to drink water throughout the day
- On long runs eat something every hour—whether you feel like it or not
- During longer runs if you don’t like to carry water take some cash in your pocket pouch or a shoe wallet. Run a route where there’s a corner store that you can use as a pit stop to pick up your water and maybe use the bathroom
- To aid recovery the most crucial time to eat and drink is in the hour immediately after you run
- Use Vaseline or BodyGlide wherever things rub. They will help prevent blisters and chafing
- Do not increase your mileage more than 10 percent per week
- If you are prone to shin splints and lower leg pain try running soft trails for your Training runs and save the asphalt for race day
- Do not run two hard days back-to-back
- Ice aches and pains immediately
- Pay attention to your form. Try to run lightly to minimize impact that could lead to injury
- When running don’t forget the bug spray, sunscreen and a hat- BIG TIME!
- Neosporin (or another antibiotic cream) is good for chafed areas
- Make sure you cut your toenails short enough so they don’t jam into your Shoes
- Be careful about running on paths that force you to run consistently on a slant. It’s hard on the hips knees
- Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes
- Do not ice for more than 20 minutes at a time
- For beginners, set mini goals to keep you motivated. (Can be minutes [run 5, walk 10], run between street lights then walk between street lights, run till the next bus stop, until you pass a car on the street)
- Do not use the hot tub after a race. It will increase inflammation and hinder healing
- Be aware of cyclists approaching you from behind and try to keep to the right. Try to pay special attention when running with music
- Run facing traffic.
- Never assume a car sees you
- Doubleknot your shoe laces so they will not come undone when you run\
- If you listen to music, put earbuds in the go inside your ear, if you are usuing the ones that sit in your ear, it will fall out
- Buy yourself some actual running shoes from an actual running store because running in junk “sneakers” will destroy your feet and your legs
- At first keep your runs short and slow to avoid injury and soreness so you do not quit.
- If you are breathing too hard slow down or walk a bit until you feel comfortable again
- Pick your route close to home (out your front door)—the more convenient it is the better chance you will have sticking with it.
- Set realistic short term and long term goals
- Remember Soreness one to two days after a run is normal (delayed onset muscle soreness).
- There’s no shame in walking
- Four laps around the local the high school track equals one mile
- Vary your training routes. This will prevent boredom and prevent your body from getting acclimated
- Push through rough spots by focusing on the sounds of your breath and feet touching the ground
- Do abdominal breathing to get rid of side cramps
- Run on trails if at all possible. It will be easier on your body and you’ll love it
- Dress as if it is 10 degrees warmer than the temperature on the thermometer
- Run early in the morning or later in evening to avoid mid-day heat
- To keep cool in hot weather soak a bandana in cold water wring it out a bit and tie it loosely around your neck
- In the winter dress in layers (coolmax or other technical clothing) and wear a headband over your running hat to cover your ears

This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.
I promised a long time ago that I’d reblog this whenever I saw it on my dash. No regrets, it breaks my heart every single time.

Good day playaz! As I do so often, I would like to thank Jesus Christ for bestowing me with the magnanimous gift for dis here grandiloquent pimpin’. Today I woke up with the sniffles and a bit of pain in my lower-back, but the thought of breaking down a ho’s mind and violently sabotaging a trick’s pockets inspired me to levitate out of bed, and shroud myself in a gorgeous, silk bathrobe. This bathrobe could make a pregnant pussy so wet dat it could drown a baby being born. Let’s get into one of the thousands of fan-mails I have received today.

“Dear Pink Shoe LaRue,
I’ve got a serious problem and I hope you can give me some insight on the situation. There’s this guy, whom I’ve been friends with for many years, that I’ve been having “relations” with for about 2 years now. He’s dating a girl now, and I just can’t get my mind off him. He cheats on her with me, because he says that I am irresistible and he constantly desires me. I feel bad for allowing it..But I’m in love with him. I don’t want to be with anyone else but him. I’m searching for ways to take him away from her, because she treats him horribly. I know this is an awful thing to do, but I just can’t give up. What should I do?
Sincerely,
The hot little skeleton in his closet.”Pink Shoe LaRue’s Response:
There comes a moment in every woman’s life. Sometimes it only happens once, sometimes it happens on a daily basis. Whatever the case may be… there come’s a time when a ho needs to ask herself: “Am I his main-chick, or just another one of his side-bitches?”
I don’t care if you are married, datin’, whatever. He may be the most giving, soft-ass, gentle husband you ever seent. Brangin’ you puppies and dandelions and shit. That doesn’t mean you’re his main-chick. A wedding ring is just another clunk of broken dreams at the pawn shop.
So all my ladies out there. And fellas too, you can reverse the roles and ask yourself this: Are you the main-chick, or just another side-bitch?
I had anywhere from ten to twelve different ho’s workin’ the strip in Vegas for me at one time, all humpin’ Daddy’s rent money up. Every single one of them funky ass ho’s knew about the other one. However, that did not change the fact that Mary Jane, my main-bitch, was the target of much hostility and conflict. Mary Jane was the most beautiful bitch you ever seent. She had a platinum pussy, that could make a trick sign his paid off 5 bedroom house over. I even let her ride in the front seat of my Cadillac!!!!!!!!!! I also spent a lot of money keepin’ her in tip-top shape. Got her fur coats, diamond bracelets, regular doctor and dentist visits, silk sheets, a Honda Accord all dat shit. The ramifications of this were brutal. Tia, my top side-bitch, could not take seein’ it anymore. She wanted the fur coats, the Moet & Chandon, the filet mignons, almond encrusted trout, all you can eat crab legs, new heels etc. All tha shit that Mary Jane got.
Now Tia was BAD. Her body was shaped like a Coke bottle with ice cream in it. Mmm mmm mm. If Mary Jane was on her monthly bleedin’ cycle or tired, or used up from too many trick dicks purchasing her pussy, Tia was always the first bitch I would slather with my manhood. And she was fierce. She sucked my balls like a baby-goat suckling his mama goats swollen teat.
Anyway, Tia realized that she had no place in a man’s household if she is the side-bitch and not the main-bitch. So she formulated a plan, and manipulated a pimp: she left. Boned out. Took off. Not to be found.
This had a pimp worrying frantically. “Oh baby Tia, my dear gorgeous bitch, where did you go?” I would ask the moon every night looking from my penthouse balcony. Mary Jane, my beautiful main-bitch, would say things like “Good, fuck her. She had a bad attitude.” or “Oh well baby, you still got me.”
At night, Mary Jane would try to fornicate with my amazing penis, and I would reject her passes. I just missed my top side-bitch Tia. Mary Jane got stagnant and too comfortable. I had no use for her any longer.
Finally, one day I received a phone call from a private number. “Hello? This is perfectly put together Pink Shoe LaRue, the most savage and simply amazing pimp in the tri-state area. Who is this?” I answered.
“Tia.” A sullen, raspy voice said on the other line.
“Oh Tia, darling! My gorgeous Tia. How I miss thee!” I yelped.
“You don’t miss shit, you just love Mary Jane.” Tia said confrontationalizing me.
“No Tia, BABY. Mary Jane has nothing on you. I need you baby, please come home.” I pleaded.
After working my incredibly structured pimp game on Tia’s ho mind, I finally persuaded her to come home. But she only came under the condition that she got promoted to main-bitch, and Mary Jane got demoted to BOTTOM bitch. I had to agree though, I didn’t realize Tia’s platinum pussy value until she left.
Before you blinked your eyes, Tia was at my doorstep with her luggage. That night, she got to ride in the front seat of my Cadillac, and even got lobster tail for dinner!
So Emma, what I am saying to you, and anyone who feels like they are nothing more than a side-bitch, is: permanently leave for a temporary amount of time. He is too comfortable in his mind, and knows he can have you whenever he wants. You need to make him miss you. Make him realize he doesn’t love his main-bitch as much as he loves you. Starve him of your platinum pussy. Then call him in a few weeks after he has been frantically searching for you, and demand you get promoted to main-bitch. If he don’t have a hot piece of filet mignon on your plate that night for dinner, my name ain’t Pink Shoe LaRue. And trust me: my name IS Pink Shoe LaRue.
Godspeed, Emma. RESPECT THE GAME and valuate dis here pimpin’.
