Against the grain

[Sweder]

I feel your pain, OATR. I'm struggling, not with the lack of carbs, but the lack of pace in my running.
As the oft-quoted Dr George Sheehan would say, we are all an experiment of one. These ideas are no panacea, but they offer insight and possible solutions for those of us struggling with excess baggage. 

I know if I cut out bread and beer I'll probably lose weight, or at least not pile it on. I'll probably run with this in the current format for another week or so, then reward myself for good behavior (on crafty Thursdays most likely).
