Runners with steamed up glasses
I’ve figured out how to keep the rain off my glasses, but, summer and winter both, I can’t figure out how to keep my glasses from steaming over. Anyone have any ideas besides spit or the anti fog stuff for your snorkeling mask, both of which dry out unclear?

Please stop calling it a "cheat meal!"

Where do these whacky macro numbers come from?
I've been using the app a little over a week and kept feeling like I couldn't hit my protein goal at all, much less without going way over the fat goal. I was only looking at the bar graph not the actual numbers they are using. When I looked at the numbers, I realized that they were crazy high for protein, unreasonably…
