Thoroughbreds

A great group of 6 thoroughbreds running this morning. Mike said we sounded like horses. I am sure he meant the type that win the Kentucky Derby! A 5.77 mile run. Another new route.

Benefits of Running in the Morning (just one more reason)
Research has shown that people who exercise in the morning keep their metabolism elevated for hours and thus get a jump on burning calories. Studies also show that people who start each day with a workout tend to stick with their programs longer.

Fuel up First
Grab a banana before you hit the gym, and it may actually help you slice off more calories in the long run. Shoot for 100 to 200 calories to nibble on: Yogurt, a piece of fruit, peanut butter and crackers, or half an energy bar are all excellent choices.
