After spending three months out of the last five in the desert, hydration is always on my mind. I know that as the weather here gets colder, I have more and more trouble staying hydrated. Add to that a red-eye flight back from California which means I did not drink as much water on the… Continue reading Hydration
Water is one thing we cannot live without. Add in the fact that you are an athlete, a cyclist, a runner and water is probably even more important to you. Considering the human body can be up to 60% water, my guess is we should not have all the questions that tend to pop up… Continue reading Water
