Bike situation and sodium freak out

So much for hanging onto my road bike for another season...had someone make me a full price offer on it...so I sold it. Good news is that I'm in no rush to pick up a new one. I'm just going to continue rolling through craigslist in hopes of finding a great tri bike someone is ready to part with. Most of these triathlon folks regularly upgraded their bikes...so I'm hopefully I'll find something by next Spring.

Until then, I'll just have to put my spinners to good use.

I read an article about how sodium levels should actually be almost double what the RDA projects them at. I'm not sure I buy it, but it does have me thinking...is my sodium too low? This article went on to say that most people need to hit between 2800 mg-4000 mg daily or else you suffer side effects both from being below 2800 mg or above 4000 mg.

I'm going to start tracking my sodium intake in order to see if that might be a problem. I've been having problems with muscle spasms and extreme dry eyes, so I'm curious as to whether or not there is a correlation.

  1. Lovely insight coming from running meditation. You might be living the near perfect life..by my reckoning anyway. Thanks for being such a good demo model. The video was hilarious, btw.
