This morning I woke to find this Wall Street Journal article in my my Twitter feed. The “heart” of the research? “Running too fast, too far and for too many years may speed one’s progress toward the finish line of life.” Essentially, the British journal Heart publish[...]

Burning Off Those Thanksgiving Favorites
This afternoon I will be gorging myself on sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and some Kale stuff my mother is making. Plus my sister’s made from scratch apple pie. My mouth is watering right now. Thanks to FitSugar I now know exactly what I need to do to burn it off. Of course I hate [...][...]
