 Good
running form allows you to maximize the return on the
physical energy you put into running. For many women,
focusing on running relaxed, particularly in the arms
and shoulders, is the key to improving running form.
Apart from focusing on relaxation, there are a number of
other things you can do to improve form – sprinters'
drills, hill bounding, core strength, strides, and video
analysis are all possibilities.

The Right Attitude
 Attitude
is one of the most important ingredients in determining
success or lack thereof for all people. Successful
people have one thing in common - an expectant attitude
of success.
You can be one of the successful people in life by
starting each day with a positive attitude, a gratitude
for the opportunities you have, and an expectancy of the
best for yourself. If you keep a great attitude, you
will get great results. If you have a fair attitude, you
will accomplish fair results, and if you have a poor
attitude, you will accomplish poor results.
The world will give you back what you expect, so expect
the very best. Don't be defensive or doubtful. Nothing
changes unless you do. Before you can do something,
you've got to be something. Know that you have worth and
value. Show that to the world.

Canola oil cooking spray
-
1/2 cup boiling water
-
3 chai teabags
-
1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
-
1 tsp. baking powder
-
1/2 tsp. baking soda
-
1/4 tsp. salt
-
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup sugar
-
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
-
1 tsp. grated orange zest
-
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
|
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 8-inch x
4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set

-
In heatproof measuring cup, steep teabags in
boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove bags,
squeezing well. Cool tea to room temperature.
-
In small bowl, whisk together flours, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl,
combine applesauce, oil and tea. Set both bowls
aside.
-
In mixing bowl, beat egg whites (or eggs) with
electric mixer or whisk, 1 minute. Add white and
brown sugars, beat together, then add wet
ingredients.
-
Add dry ingredients and zest and
mix just until they are combined with other
ingredients; there will be many small lumps. Use
rubber spatula to blend in most small lumps,
taking care not to over mix. Stir in nuts. Scoop
batter into prepared baking pan.
-
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until straw inserted
into center of loaf comes out clean. Cool in pan
on wire rack for 15 minutes. Turn loaf out of
pan and cool completely.
-
This tea loaf is best when wrapped in foil for
8-24 hours, which allows flavors to ripen and
loaf to become more moist.
