Running 24 hours and guilt free desserts

You may have hear of the Easter Seals a charity which helps children with disabilities. You may have even heard of the Easter Seals 24 hour relay which takes place on June 14 and 15. Teams of runners (typically 20 on a team) take turns running during the event which lasts, just like the name implies, 24 hours.

What I'd like to tell you about is my friend, Glenn Pace, who is running the event BY HIMSELF. He will run continuously for 24 hours (apart from the occasional restroom break I hope) and his goal is to cover 100 miles in the process. Very impressive!! Glenn is quite an accomplished runner having completed numerous 100 mile races but to run 100 miles in under 24 hours is no easy feat (not that running 100 miles in any amount of time is an easy feat).

Glenn doesn't have other runners to help him raise funds so please help Glenn by supporting him with donations or providing moral support by joining him for a lap or two on June 14/15. You can donate and learn more about the event by going to Glenn's runner webpage.

Go Glenn Go!

GUILT-FREE DESSERTS

Glenn can eat a bunch of desserts guilt-free after running for 24 hours but don't fear if you have a sweet tooth and don't want to run for an entire day to be able to indulge guilt-free. I have a special treat for you. My friends at Precision Nutrition have put together a fantastic dessert cookbook called Gourmet Desserts, which you can download for free! Simply click on the name or the cover below to go to the download page.









The desserts in this book are healthy for a number of reasons:

1. They have protein so they're not all carbs and fat.
2. They're sugar-free so no huge insulin spikes.
3. They have healthy fats.
4. They are limited in calories.
5. They use fresh, natural, additive-free ingredients wherever possible.
6. They are designated as either "anytime" or "post-workout", so you'll know when is the best time to eat them.

So do something good for others by supporting Glenn in his run and then do something good for yourself by downloading the Gourmet Desserts cookbook. Instant karma!
