WOW.

You'd think that after all this time, I would have learned the lesson that I learned today. I suppose I'd learned this lesson before, but sometimes a repeat is necessary.

Did you know that it's important to eat prior to a workout?

I got light headed on the treadmill while doing sprints today. I'm going to eat lunch now.
