Side stitch update
A few weeks ago I posted a thread here asking for help with side stitches. Not a day later, my copy of Runner's World magazine showed up, with this article:
http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/running-air-breathing-technique
I had a six-mile race the next day, and I tried this (just the basic breathing technique of counting my inhale/exhale breaths). It worked. I ran a comfortable race and my time was dead-on average for the field that day. Success.
Just thought I'd pass this along to whoever else is interested.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
