  1. You know, when I was coming up the school stairs (after Team Leadership), I felt this intense burn in my legs. Is this the lactic acid collecting inside of me?? Surprisingly, some of my friends didn't feel it...

  2. Hi Emily - that probably was lactic acid build up in your calf muscles. See, science is everywhere!

  3. So when your running, and you feel a pain in your side, is that latic acid build up? Can you get it in other places?
