Yes, the rumors are true.

A lot of the discussion at the Silly Chili cook-off yesterday was on the current topic of H1N1.   I thought I would post this as a blog entry, better to pass information than the bug itself.  The main thing is if symptoms are tending towards the H1N1 side, get to the doc for the Tamiflu shot right away!

My first 100 miler was not easy, but then, is any 100 miler easy? I don’t think so.

I expected to be more nervous and sleepless on Friday night before the race, and especially at the start. Much to my surprise, I was actually totally relaxed. I can’t figure why because I’m usually a bit nervous before a race of any length, and I would have expected especially nervous before a race of 100 miles, which I’ve never done!

100 miles is a long way to run, especially since I've never done it before. It's just about here - starting at 6am CST on Saturday, November 7th!

Canada's very own Ryne Melcher is toeing the line as well and I know he's going to be one of the front runners here in Missouri's inagural 100-mile event - AWESOME!

It's a really exciting time for me, and I look forward to posting a report for CFA after the event concludes...

Best for now,

Jason

Well, I'm off to Vegas(vlv!)...my reward for completing Hundred in the Hood 103 mile trail race.

But before I go, here's my writeup for the race or at least a link to my blog where the report is:

Baldwin's On and Off Trail Misadventures

By the time I get back, you should be on Chapter four.

Enjoy!

I received a lot of positive response from last week's post regarding rules for good nutrition so I'll follow up this week with more useful nutrition information. 

The first piece of info. comes from my collegaue Mike Geary, author of a new ebook called Fat-Burning Kitchen.  Mikes sheds light on a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against abdominal fat.

Well, I did it!

I really didn't know how it would go with my lack of training and energy, but I did it!

A really nice race, with a wonderful landscape with one side our beautiful lake and the other all the vynards with their beautiful fall colours.

As soon as I have pictures, I will post them.

Very happy with that race...even if I cannot walk today, but motivated to do other 20km.

Thanks to my wonderful husband who could have ran it faster than yesterday and stayed with me to motivate me.

This past Friday was the first day of the rest of my year. 

I was at a business function for most of the day.   People I'd not seen for a while would come up to me and ask, "What's new?"  All I could think to say was, "It was an awesome summer, but sadly, it ended yesterday."

Given that Friday fell in the fourth week of October, more than one person was left scratching their head. 

Dear CFA,
