DAY 14

After yesterday's 4.9 mile run, I woke up this morning incredibly hungry and thirsty.  I immediately ate a few handfuls of frozen blueberries, drank a bunch of water, and cooked myself 2 scrambled eggs with a slice of whole wheat toast.  I ran slightly further today.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

Incidentally, I need to pick up some Cannonau di Sardegna.  It's a wine from Sardinia that supposedly has the highest concentration of flavenoids - the stuff that supposedly is life-extending.  Sardinia is a Blue Zone, and it's what they drink (about 8 ounces a day spread out over the entire day.)  Of course, their genetics definitely plays a role in their lifespan as their isolation led to a lot of inbreeding.  But if the research is to be believed, the impact of genetics in anyone's life amounts to about 20%.
