Breakfast on the run

October 26, 2011

One of the problems with crazy blood sugar is breakfast. My fasting glucose level determines what second breakfast will be. Second breakfast?

So now what?

April 21, 2010

XT: Body Pump Run: 3 miles Stress is high, the knee is cranky, and I’m not very optimistic that I’ll get my last long run completed this weekend. I often forget how dependent my mental outlook is based on my running. Doubt is such brain drainer. I hate the “what ifs?”. I hate being crooked. [...]
