Sodium Replentishment in Hot Weather?
I am really struggling right now with heat issues on my long runs. I am training for the Big Butts 50K at the end of July in Jackson, Mississippi. There is no shade on the course. Water stops every five miles on a 10 mile loop. In training, I have my water stops every 4 miles. They contain Gatorade, Gu, and some cheese (or…

Finally
Received two BrewKits for Christmas. I live in Mississippi and it is just during this past year that my state has legalized home brewing. I started my first batch today. Waiting for the second kit to arrive from Colorado and will get that one up and going, too. Very excited about this. Hope I don't mess it up!

Combining two flocks
I know you are not supposed to introduce adult hens with other adults hens. But I did it anyway. It has turned out remarkably well! I had lost two of my six hens over about three months. One was sick and the other one, well we do not know what happened to her, I just had to cull her. It was sad. So, an opportunity came up…

Ouch! My foot hurts!
I am going to start this off with saying that I have had xrays on my foot and there is no fracture and yes~I have been fitted for my shoes... Problem: The top of my left foot is killing me!

vanity signs
Since we no longer live in Colorado, I decided to give up my Colorado call sign and have one assigned to me from the Mississippi call signs. I received the generic Mississippi call sign today. That meant that I could now apply for a vanity call sign! YAY! So, 18 days from now, I hope to be the proud owner (at least I hope…

How do you keep from losing your toe nails?
On my left foot I have one toe nail that keeps coming loose. It strikes the bottom of my shoe as I run and comes loose that way. I do keep it cut short. I have lost it all the way once and now it is black. Do any of you have this issue and what do you do to resolve it?
