Things Your Dad/Mom Forgot To Tell You About Marathon Running

Trick or Treat Rules, And Race Nutrition?
Oh yes, Halloween. Not a fan. Not a fan of Trick Or Treat either. BUT you have to play by the rules in this neck of the woods or you’ll find your car on the business end of a tire slash.

What Did You Do With Your Baby’s Placenta?
Actor Matthew McConaughey, who had a son last month, plans to bury the boy’s placenta, according to the blog ParentDish. It’s going to be in the orchards,” he told CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, “And it’s going to bear some wonderful fruit.” The new dad apparently got the idea from a trip to Australia, where he met a tribe who had a placenta tree where all new babies’ placentas are buried.
