Had a Tough Time Deciding on a Title for Today:
[polldaddy poll=7373751] Of course, I am talking about the magic of having lived at Altitude for 2 years. I had a great run this morning. A crisp 65 degrees and very mystical looking. It was flat. My foot feels pretty good, unbelievable. We will see what comes of the day. It must be in celebration for my 1 year anniversary of breaking it. I ran 3.8 which included a warm up of dynamic ex's. And then into a little Exercise Induced Tachycardia for a few moments but not as high as usual. Without my dynamic ex's I
Exercising In the Heat
With Temperatures s in Dallas, Texas , and around the country, right now between 100 and 105 we have something even more serious to think about; Heat Indexes between 105 and 107 degrees and Heat Related Illness. Although a common myth about losing weight in the summer is the old adage; "Just Sweat it Out", this is not only untrue, it can have negative health implications. It is true, that we do lose weight while exercising in the extreme heat, it's water weight, and with the human body, being made up of between

Thanks for Checking in
It's always good to, or you miss some great information, like today. 1st off I want to remind everyone how important it is getting BCAA's (branched chain amino acids) in your supplementation during long duration exercise. I usually get mine from meat. A lot of attention on L- Carnitine. Carnitine helps the process of AMP into ATP. as well as help maintain glucose uptake and availability. The latest research is tending towards the importance of L-Arginine. L-Arginine is a precursor to NO(nitrite oxide) If this is foreign to you then check back on an
Where are you From?
The loaded and impossible question. Where am I from? I was born at the Ramsey Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. I toured around the Twin Cities for 12 years: which included: Brooklyn Center, Golden Valley, Minnetonka. At which point I moved to St Louis, Missouri. I graduated High School from Webster Groves, Missouri, spending roughly 6 years in St. Louis. From there I journeyed to Columbia, Missouri, where I lived for 4 years. Columbia is where I learned what I wanted to be when I grew up, and that I wanted to move West. So I did, to Albuquerque,
Latest Research Regarding Beet Root Juice
For several years now, we've known that Beet Root Juice significantly increases time to fatigue in performance, anywhere between 12 and 25 percent depending on dose and time of supplementation prior to measured exercise performance. Beet Root Juice is high in Nitric Acid(NO): NO aids increases circulation via vasodilation NO improves neurotransmission NO improves K/Ca handling in the body NO has also been shown to have glucose sparing effect, meaning, levels of circulating glucose don't decrease as much in the presence of NO. NO increases the expression of Ca handling of proteins. The original research coming of
Wishy Washy-ness at it’s Finest
Going into the weekend I was like, 'Am I going to race, am I not going to race?' Am I going to race, am I not going to race? Pre Rode the course on Thursday, Fun Course! Oak Flats. I really wanted to race. I don't have much time left in ABQ, while I live here, until retirement and vacations. Which don't worry, will be a lot. I really want to get my name out there, to be present, as much as I am able. Plus a good race would be good for my taper. But not a 3

Years of Research on Vitamin D3: Cholecalciferol
Is There a Relationship Between Vitamin D and Muscle Performance? Vitamin D3 has been an ingredient in my magic potion for years: I really like the liquid Bluebonnet. It has Calcium, Mg and Vitamin D3. I add it to my bottles as seen here. It is very helpful for transferring ADP to ATP in the kreb's cycle. Most over the counter gels and potions don't contain it all 3. That is also, why I highly recommend Salt Stick Tabs for electrolyte replacement.
9 Common Foods That Contain Toxic Ingredients: Shape Magazine
By Cristina Goyenes Shape Magazine Article on Toxic Food Additives that are common in our foods: Shape Magazine Folks. This is how Mainstream this information is, yet, most of us are still totally unaware of the dangers of "Conventional Foods". Conventional Food is not conventional, it's the contrary. To eat conventionally would be to eat the way that we have been eating for centuries, or even tens of thousands of years. It is my hypothesis that most of these foods, and food additives our bodies no longer recognize as food sources. GMO Corn
