Mercedes Half Marathon 2017

 This is one of my best races.  If you are looking for a great half marathon in Alabama, The Mercedes Marathon is the place to be! 
Highlights
Small Expo
Great Goodies Bag
Water/Powerade stations every 1.5 miles
Chafe Station
Beer
Support was phenomenal
Great Gorgeous MEDAL!
Hilly course but not too bad
Convenient Parking for a small  fee
There is an after party but I did not attend

As with any physical attention, check a doctors approval.

If you have done this race, how was it for you?

Poopy Coffee??Urine Tomatoes??

     What's the fascination now with feces and urine?  There used to be a time when scientists and researchers believed that consuming either of the two would lead to death.  Some genius has now figured out a way to get great tasting coffee from feces.  If that came as a surprise, the price, $80 per cup in the US is stifling! I love coffee but NO! I will not go there.  Kopi Luwak is made in Indonesia and Sub Saharan Africa.  A cat, the Civet, eats coffee cherries. These coffee beans can not be digested so while in the stomach, enzymes change the structure of the proteins in the beans.  This lessens the acidity and allows for a milder cup of coffee. Uuuumm... Who is sitting there plucking these beans out of that poop?! How much are they getting paid? Next, scientists are growing tomatoes in a lab derived from urine.  Why? So it can be grown  successfully on the Moon or Mars .  Liquid waste from washing, sweat and the t...

      Gentlemen, who needs the blue pill when you a have a treadmill?  Even if you don't have one, there is  one near you at a local gym.  The hardest part is getting up to go get it.  But, if the girlfriend or wife is nagging you about fixing something up, you need a diversion, right? There you go.  Tell her you are going to get right for her.  Then, run! Run loooong.  I used to think all the time that my libido was going BANANAS when I first started back running.  I wanted to stop.  Men, I had no interest in started looking good as all HELL! So, quite naturally, I googled.   My theory was correct and in fact exercise is proven to increase circulation (bloodflow) to all areas of the body. Woohoo!  So now, you want to jump on the running bandwagon like everyone is on the Dallas Cowboys since they had a great season.  We welcome you.  No only is it good for the libido, your significant other will start lo...
