Friday Thoughts 38
Welcome to Friday Thoughts, where I share short bullet points and some of my favorite posts I saw on Instagram throughout the week. Enjoy!
Mount Washington Auto Road Race is tomorrow! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this excited for a race. The weather forecast, is well, a Mount Washington weather forecast and I learned this morning that on the higher summits forecast that there is “potential for tornadic activity,” today. I’ve had a good 7 week build up (how was the weightlifting meet only 7 weeks ago?) and focused on fueling, hydrating and sleeping this week with lots of mobility sprinkled in. Even thought it’s been less than two months of running focus I’m feeling good and ready. My build up was good and we’ll see how it will take on the 7.5 mile hill tomorrow!
LMNT - I’ve been crushing LMNT for a while now, and you’ve surely seen me mix it into a water bottle around the gym. I often will give these away for people to try, and explain about how electrolytes absorb water so you actually hydrate instead of just peeing it out. People often remark about how much sodium is in it, but my question to you today is what other foods have 1000mg of sodium in it that you probably eat without question? Too much of anything is bad, and too little of something can be bad too, it’s all about balance. If you’re eating a lot of French fries, pizza, tortilla chips and the like routinely, perhaps a salty supplement isn’t required. But if you’re cooking most of your own food, training hard, sweating and losing fluid, keep in mind that sodium is an important part of a well-functioning body.
It was three years ago today that we tore out the turf and created a more space efficient set up.
And here, just for fun is what it looked like on June 13, 2015
I’ve seen that study about brim curvature and intoxication of stoke. Completely checks out.
Until next week!
