Summer Running

Well I learned the hard way that running and keeping in shape in general is not enough. I thought I had a fairly well balanced diet and together with a good exercise routine I thought I had a pretty healthy lifestyle. So it was not a very pleasant surprise when I found myself in the hospital for 11 days with diverticulitis. Turns out that I, like most Americans, did not have enough fiber in my diet and so I was susceptible to this particular medical condition. Anyway, not to generalize, but I think the lesson here is that exercise isn't enough and you have to pay even more attention to your diet than you probably are right now.

See you on the roads and trails.
