I too have notice a lot of new muscles involved in hip extension running - an easy run can feel like a strength workout when your muscles are new to the task. It does seem like a source of power waiting to be developed, so I'm psyched and optimistic it will pay dividends once it becomes strong and natural. I am amazed at the millions of subtle tweaks one can to to their mechanics. As for the weight/flab discussion - I must confess that I "look like a tendon" already! - rovatti Hey Flo -

Well, maybe not exactly. :-) <strong>Karyn</strong>, thanks sweetie, very nice sentiment there. My theory is that for all of our differences, we're all really the same. So if I have these feelings about a body part, I know a zillion other people do, too. A "yeah, me too!" goes a long way. Hilary, my pleasure! Well, maybe not exactly. :-)
