Forty-one minutes and a bowl of menudo

It is never a good idea to eat Mexican food before an important event. Never. In fact, it seems to me, that Mexican food is essentially food poisoning waiting-no- primed, to happen.

This would never happen, if, instead, you ate sugar. Now, sugar will never let you down: it would never give you 'the runs' before you run, burn your stomach until it feels as if you are on a sinking boat: Mexican food? Yes. Sugar? Not a chance.

I ran with menudo and it took me forty-one minutes to complete 3.2 miles. I am no speed demon, but without a menudo-belly; I am decent.

You see, prior to January 01, 2010, sugar would propel me to be the best, always cheering me on, filling up my blood with its special goodness. Not menudo, not Mexican food. Sugar.

I wish I could have shared this event with sugar. Those horrible forty-one minutes. Oh, but to have run with sugar!

Over and out.
