LoveNJstyle answered Sunday April 24 2005, 6:31 pm: im not really sure where they come from. i doubt its the hurdles tho cuz i get them and i dont run track (i play soccer). the only thing you can do to get rid of them is stop runnin really. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

hope i helped!
