I remember once trying it, long ago, when I still lived in Portland, OR... and the instructor told us to breathe in through one nostril and out the other. I think I may have even left that class early. Balance. Yes, I'm still looking for it. I will have that too one day. <br /><br />on a side note, I grew up more than half my US life in Chicago and the suburbs and I LOVED the early fall.

I'm so glad your foot has been cooperating. After a small setback last week I think I am back on track now. It's tough to distinguish between normal twinges from returning to running and pain that is a sign that the problem is coming back.
