DW said she read that kale was making a lot of people sick, from too many minerals. Have you heard that in your area? We are in north Alabama.

I read something like that, but that it was possible not that anybody had gotten sick. One of those if you eat a truckload of this you might get sick stories.

 

Lauren - those muffins sound interesting.  I like corn muffins and I like fruit muffins, but I'm not sure about the combination.  Worth a try anyway. Good job on another long pool run.

 

Blueberry corn was one of my favorites way back in the day - I think berries in particular go nicely with the corn texture/flavor, I don't know how I'd feel about other fruits.

Family and I spent the afternoon at the in-laws' house yesterday - butternut squash lasagna for late lunch, homemade kombucha with ginger (was like really fancy ginger ale, so good!), some time in the pool, some time in the hot tub, and it's always nice to catch up since we don't see them nearly as often as we'd like. Perfect summer Saturday

Today was an hour in the pool with 3x12 minutes tempo effort and some weights after.

I hadn't heard that about kale!  I imagine it would require a lot of kale to make you sick.  Got a link?

Off to do 3 miles.  Official abbreviated half marathon training program starts today!

I got in 3.3 miles with Angie & TJ this morning.  This is my first double digit miles week since mid-May.  I feel like I won a race or something...

12.7 miles this morning. Most were fine but it started heating up and I started dying out there after mile 10. I need to consider bringing fuel and electrolytes with me on summer long runs - not just water. I lost about 4 lbs during my run despite drinking very frequently and I really felt like I was going to vomit during the last mile and a half of the run.  I've been salting up and rehydrating since then and I think I'm back to normal.  I

probably should avoid going out to dinner and splitting a bottle of wine with dh the night before a long run.
