Eat to be Fit: A Book Review

Eat to be Fit by Mike Foley was worth reading but it was not as useful to me as I thought it would be. For somebody that is looking to lower their body fat percentage or for somebody that is looking to lose weight, then I think it is a great program and the book [...]

Dealing with Migraines

Migraines are bad. Chemical problems that cause the brain to hallucinate and creates an extreme photosensitivity and aversion to noise. Once the hallucinations begin to end (or sooner), a bad headache comes on. How do you tell that you are having a migraine and not just a regular headache? Does light or noise cause your [...]

Morning Glory Drugs

Yesterday I left a note about the women’s 5k in Brunswick that a number of my teammates ran. After the race, they had the awards ceremony. They had some really big trophies for the overall winners and for the master’s winners and the like, and most of the folks that placed in their age divisions [...]
