David commented on David's blog post 'Soup Therapy: Detoxify, Lose Weight, and Boost Immunity'

Susana, I think you've made some excellent points and raised some facts, that quite frankly, I never thought about. While I do agree with what most of what you've said, I do think a bowl of chicken soup, or other healthy soup, is much better than so…

Susana commented on David's blog post 'Soup Therapy: Detoxify, Lose Weight, and Boost Immunity'

MEDICARE AND THE MAYO CLINIC

From the NCPA:

At 5:34am on December 11, 2009, Cheryl Ragsdale said…: Oh what a drag! It's so frustrating to be out with a major - or even a minor - injury. Not being able to follow your regular training routine throws everything off. You sound like a really powerful swimmer. Is Mark Spitz in your family tree? haha!

There's a guy named Arik who was training with us for awhile at FloMAC. He's on the swim team where he goes to school. I'll have to look him up on fb to get the name of his school.

Leaving today for Memphis!! Gonna watch Kenny and Clay knock the stuffing out of each other at UFC 107. Clay's crazy hair will be flying everywhere! Mine too, probably...lol! Have a great weekend!
