Dear Karen,
What Paul doesn't realize is that, like any amateur, I need to keep in
practice balancing carbs so that I remember what to do when I work on my
own!
It was nice that this time I was able to do my warm up exercises on an OROC
friend's running SUs. That's so much more interesting than playing
make-believe with my own, unattached "spares"!
Best,
Teddy
