Things that make you go "hmmm"

I have been wondering why I have felt sluggish and tired lately. Why my longs runs seem hard and my legs like lead. Then it hit me. I am Women. And just like this site states, we have different needs. After some surfing, here are some things that made me go "hmmmm"

Awesome post! Yes, its true - these are things that male athletes never have to deal with and they absolutely effect your training, race performance and attitude. I like to think that it makes us "better" athletes in the sense that we are used to dealing with mental challenges that our male counterparts will never have to deal with. I think it makes us better endurance athletes, for one. Ha! I'd like to see the guys doing their long weekly run with hideous cramps and legs that feel like they weight 1,000 pounds! Thanks for the links!

Sorry. Didn't realize the links would not work. I guess copy and paste??
