I’ve been running for several years and racing 10K through marathon distances. I follow a training plan that I’m comfortable with, but I want to develop a go-to recovery plan. Can you help? Thanks, ~MeganRecovery is just as important to performance as training and can be a runner’s best tool for easy improvement. It’s easy to train. Okay, it’s not easy, per se, but mentally it’s easier to go out and actively train toward your goal than it is to rest and recover—especially for those of us in Club Type A (you know who you are).

Nothing builds running strength better than hills. Running inclines forces your muscles to work harder with each step; as you grow stronger, your stride becomes more efficient and your overall speed improves. Despite the benefits, many newcomers (and old-timers) avoid hills–after all, defying gravity can be physically and mentally uncomfortable. But simple form adjustments and a go-slow approach can reduce the challenges and boost your fitness.

Well, there's just nothing better on a hot day than ice cream, and hot days are finally here in Minnesota. Just a couple weeks ago we were all very chilly it seems and now we're sweating and eating ice cream. I have lots of cream cheese so I decided the ice cream for tonight would be Cheesecake flavor. And it certainly is very much like cheesecake. I am a bit dissapointed in that it does not remain scoopable after sitting in the freezer. It's best right out of the ice cream maker, which is the way I like it best anyway... sort of soft serve. But if you have leftovers, just stick it in the microwave to soften it for a few minutes, or let it sit out on the counter while you are eating your dinner. The flavor was not a dissapointment at all. It was great! This would have been great topped with strawberries or blueberries, but I didn't have any! Or you could swirl some berry jam into it at the end if you like. CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM 8 ounces philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese -- (you can use full fat if you prefer but this is less than 1 g. carb per serving and less calories) 1 tablespoon lemon juice -- (more if you want it more lemony) 7.6 ounces Nestle Media Crema table cream -- (in the mexican section usually) 1 1/2 cups almond milk, unsweetened -- vanilla flavor 1 teaspoon Stevia and Monk fruit -- (EZ Sweetz brand) OR sweetener equivalent to 1 cup sugar Make sure all ingredients are chilled and your ice cream freezer has been in the freezer for 24 hours. In medium bowl, add cream cheese and lemon juice and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add Nestle table cream, vanilla almond milk, and monk fruit and beat until smooth and creamy scraping the sides. Pour into ice cream maker and process according to manufacturers instructions.

If you earn a living as a self-employed farmer, you may need to include a Schedule F attachment with your tax return to report your profit or loss for the year.

A person suffering from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) should have various precautions, like taking care of his posture and ergonomics. There are certain postures and activities that aggravate TOS symptoms and others that reduce the symptoms. The head-forward posture aggravates TOS symptoms, which combines rounded spine and forward head with protracted shoulders, commonly referred to as “slouching”. Activities that aggravate TOS symptoms are reaching above shoulder level and carrying heavy weights. Good posture alleviates symptoms and is as follows: Bring shoulders back to a relaxed but retracted position; head should glide back automatically when shoulders are in correct position, weight should be distributed equally on both feet and low back should retain its normal lordosis. The patient can attempt a rigid military stance and then relax the position to improve comfort and compliance. Proper posture should be maintained when sitting, standing, or walking. The exercises most commonly given to patients to relax the shoulder girdle and upper trapezius musculature, stretch the scalene and pectoral muscles and strength the cervical extensors, scapular adductors, and shoulder retractors. Before starting any of these exercises be sure to get advise from your physical therapist, for he is the only one that knows what types of exercises you can or cannot start doing! Neck (the patient is to sit with the arms resting on pillows, back straight and low back supported) · Neck side bending – this exercise stretches the trapezius muscles. Bring the ear of your affected side towards the shoulder of the same side without shrugging the shoulders and hold for 5 seconds. · Neck rotation – this stretches the cervical muscles and improves neck rotation. Turn head to side and look over to your unaffected shoulder while keeping the body facing forward; hold for 5 seconds and repeat 5 times. · Neck extension – this exercise stretches the scalene muscles and the flexors. Bend the neck backwards to the back and hold for 5 seconds then return the head to it neutral position. Repeat 5 times. · Neck flexion – this exercise stretches the cervical extensors and upper trapezius muscles. Bend the neck forward to chest and hold for 5 seconds then return the head to the neutral position. Repeat 5 times. · Chin tucks – this exercise stretches the cervical extensors and strengthens the paraspinal muscles. Try to make a double chin, feeling a stretch behind the neck and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times, relaxing between efforts. · Neck half-circles – this exercise combines all the neck exercises and improve the Range of Motion (ROM). Roll the head slowly from one ear to the same side shoulder, then the chin to the chest and then the other ear to the other shoulder slowly 5 times in each direction. Shoulder (these exercises are done standing up) · Pendulum exercises – First do this exercise with 1-lb weight for 1-2 minutes. This exercise loosens the shoulder girdle by putting gentle traction on the upper quadrant. Do this exercise near to a table. Place the hand of your unaffected side on the table and bend your body in a 45º degree angle and relax your affected arm perpendicular to your body, aiming to the floor. Do a pendulum movement with your affected arm. · Shoulder shrugs – elevate shoulders up to ears and then slowly lower, repeating five times. This exercise strengthens and relaxes the upper trapezius muscles and encourages scapular retraction and cervical extension. · Sh Shoulder circles – roll shoulders forward five times then backward five times. This exercise alternately strengthens and stretched the entire shoulder girdle. · Elbow pinches – place hands on the waist and move the elbows behind your back attempting to touch the elbows together. Hold for 5 seconds, then relax and repeat 5 times. This stretches the pectoral musculature and strengthens the scapular adductors. · Corner stretch – stand in a corner or a doorway and put one hand on each wall or doorframe and then slowly let the upper part of the body lean forward into the corner or doorway. Though standing, the body’s position resembles a push-up and stretches the pectoral muscles while strengthening the scapular muscles. · High swings – as a cool-down exercise, stand with arms to side, swinging both arms forward and backward as a pendulum as high as possible in each direction. Repeat five times. · Side swings – swing arms forward crossing each other at shoulder level and then swing the arms back and try to make your shoulder blades to touch. Repeat five times. This loosens the shoulder girdle. Crosby, C.A., Marwan, A.W. (2004). Conservative treatment for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Hand Clinics (20): 43-49
