Shiro's Carb-full Saimin

We had saimin noodles at Shiro's today. Art is trying to "carb up." Unfortunately, it's not the best thing for pre-diabetic me and my mom. Still, we only have saimin (which we happen to love) once a month. Art has also been eating soba more often at lunch and likes the fruit smoothies I've been making. He eats almost twice what I do but doesn't gain a pound.

He's been alternating long runs with shorter ones and the occasional day of rest to heal his body. I just hope he knows what the heck he's doing.

He Said He's Going to Run the Marathon

Art says he's going to train to run in the Honolulu Marathon. I was not for it. He's complained that I'm not being supportive. It's quite true.

I think he's stressing his body too much and that worries me. Everything in moderation, I say. His doctor says he should be OK to do this... but you can never tell for sure. Well, that's comforting!

Our kids just want him to be safe and have bought him reflective clothing so that he can run before the sun comes up. They've also sent him identification bracelets and shoe markers.

He's also bought some kind of heart monitor to keep a check on his pulse. I'm going to let him post what he's up to. I'm just sitting here wringing my hands.
