Get in gear

Have a race coming up? I always find fresh new gear gets me even more excited for the race–after all, you want to rock those official race photos, dontcha? Just make sure to test it out during your training beforehand (don’t want any friction catching you by surprise on race day!).

I’m loving the new LiveStrong collection, which made  its’ debut in Canada this month. The pieces allow you to show your support and help empower those affected by cancer, and it all coordinates, natch, with that iconic yellow Livestrong wristband.

P.S. You’ve still got a few more days to submit your own message of hope to the custom Chalkbot at www.nike.com/livestrong, which will write your inspirational note in yellow chalk along the Tour de France route–get to it!

Social saver

Could Facebook help save your life?

Perhaps. Seems that an active social life (that is, actually getting together with friends and family, or at the very least staying in touch by talking on the phone or via email, or Facebook I am presuming–as long as you’re actively using the social networking site to stay in touch with everyone) may help battle cancer. The study published in the journal Cell found that tumours in diseased mice reduced in size when the mice were in contact with many other animals.
