Ambidextrous Injuries

April 27th, 2010

Where does it hurt?

You have both right and left legs, feet, hips and knees, shouldn’t you be able to injury whichever side you please?

You’re in luck. Now you can tell RunParnter not only what you hurt, but also which one. You can choose:

  • Left – i.e. your left nipple chaffs
  • Right – i.e. your right toe blisters
  • Both – i.e. that Ultra is killing both your knees
  • N/A – i.e. you can’t get both sides sick

Think of the possibilities. Now you can look back two years and remember whether it was your trick left or right toe.

Not everyone wants to set their profile image. Unfortunately, the default avatar was not that snazzy. So, we augmented the snaz and now hope you find the lithe icons more affable.

Further, when you comment on these posts (see below), you can now pick from one of three runner avatars. Enjoy.

NOTE: to set you profile image, visit your profile and click theĀ  icon over the profile image.

Consider RunPartner our contribution to the running world from a group of running addicted engineers and their sponsors.

So here you are, RunPartner.com. All you can run. No limits. Lifetime memberships on sale for $0.00.
