Cool — someone created a Houston Running Blog. It would inspire me to go out for a jog tonight…if I didn’t feel all stuffy and stiff. I’m fighting off the beginnings of the post-marathon cold that I hoped wouldn’t come. After getting so sick after the Austin Half last year, I was very careful to get good rest on Monday and Tuesday. But for the past two days I’ve had that achy feeling. Here’s hoping it doesn’t become a full-blown cold.
Matt send out a good article yesterday on the new federal Dietary Guidelines:
“Americans need is to be told outright: Stop drinking so much Coke. People don’t think in terms of ingredients. Most consumers don’t even buy ingredients anymore because they don’t cook. We think in terms of packaged-food brand names and fast-food menu items. Imagine dietary guidelines that said: Stop eating Big Macs, Doritos and Oreos. Those are recommendations most Americans could understand, but not ones we are likely to hear. Until people are told the entire truth, instead of meaningless messages such as “eat less,” the nation’s health will continue to suffer.”
…but I like Coke…
Anyway. I don’t have a whole lot to say at the moment, so I’ll cut it short.
