Nothing out of the ordinary. I'm discovering that my appendages don't sweat very well. I honestly think this is contributing to a heating issue. During workouts (like yesterday) I kept thinking it might be beneficial to ask Huy to standby with a bucket of a ice to dunk me with.
Sugars:
While grabbing a cup of coffee from the Sik coffee club I curiously picked up a packet of Splenda, the "zero calorie sweetener." I read the ingredients: "Dextrose and maltodextrin" if you were following anything I've been saying...I've been searching for maltodextrin because it is a sugar easily absorbed. Dextrose is industrial glucose which is what the glycemic index is based on. Basically, Splenda is made of sugar and sugar. The reason why how they can claim zero calories is...they base their servings on 1 gram and 1 gram of sugar < 5 calories. FDA says they can claim zero.
Anyways this just goes to show the importance of just reading the ingredients in what you eat. My general rule is...if I don't understand it, don't eat it...and don't read any claims on packaging.
I have to admit that running on the trail in Hamden was...kind of cool. The fireflies where out so it made for an aesthetically pleasing run.
