In this episode I talk about all the changes I have had in my running over the past two months of crossfit training and ramping my running back up after so many months off. Life is good, very good in fact. I found new fitness, less pain and inner strength I didn't know I had.

So here is my running and training update along with some great news from the American Heart Association. The recent statement by the AHA on Dietary Sugars Intake and Cardiovascular Health didn't go as far as I would like, but went pretty far considering the current political and financial environment. Here is a link to a previous study published in the AHA journal in 2002.

Here's the scary part. My measurements for August 30, 2009

Weight: 163 lbs

Above Chest: 34"

Ribcage: 32.5"

Waist: 31"

Hips: 40"

thigh: 24.5"

Feels weird publishing those numbers. Almost as weird as remembering a 48" waist measurement not so long ago.

Testing

I would love to blog using my phone and am considering a few additions to my blog and podcast. So this is my test of the email blogging function and we'll see what happens. Blogging by phone should increase my frequency. Now, I must warn you my typing and spelling may suffer using my blackberry (named Lucy) instead of my computer.
