Sun-Maid Raisins

Banana Therapy

A change in plans.  I’m following a schedule to increase my running miles so I might be able to do a marathon at some point this year.  Currently, I am going into week 13 which would be my longest run yet, 18 miles.  BUT… I’ve entered a couple of races.  On Saturday April 3rd, I’m running the 23rd annual Fort to Fort, a 10K.  On the 11th I’m running my first 1/2 marathon 2 hours away in Ithaca, The Skunk Cabbage Classic.  Then I’m hopping into the car and going to S.C for a visit with the family.  Part of [...]

Hydration is something that shouldn’t be over looked when training.  Without sufficient water, you can get muscle cramps, dizziness, and stomach aches (gastrointestinal problems).  As we get older, for some reason [...]
