Congratulations to Aryeh who just completed a half marathon snow shoe race this past weekend! The trail was 3 miles up and 3 miles down by 2. Great job Aryeh!!!
There has been a tone of information out there on Agave. This has almost been dubbed the miracle sweetner for all you paleo eaters. However, how much do we really understand about this food. It seems that Agave is not the miracle sweetner it has been billed to be. When someone discuses the glycemic index, this relates to how blood sugar is effected when ingesting food and ultimately how insulin reacts to blood sugar. There are more than a few ways to spike insulin, one of them is through taste. Insulin spikes in response to a taste of something sweet. While agave might be low on the gylcemic index it is still sweet and composed of Fructose that has been linked to many other problems.
"Agave...most especially, that it has a relatively low glycemic index. A large body of research shows that foods with low glycemic indexes, such as vegetables, beans and high-fiber foods in general, tend to be healthier for us than foods that quickly raise our blood sugar. But in the case of agave nectar, you have to ask, why does this sugar have a low-glycemic index? And the answer is that agave nectar is made largely of fructose, which, even though it has a low glycemic index, is being implicated in many long-term health problems. With the exception of pure liquid fructose, agave nectar has the highest fructose content of any commercial sweetener. It’s worth knowing that all sugars, from white table sugar to high-fructose corn syrup and even honey, include some mixture of fructose and glucose. For example, table sugar is 50% fructose/50% glucose and HFCS is 55/45. Agave nectar is a whopping 70% to 90% fructose..." Read more here...www.bottomlinesecrets.com/article.html

We are gonna post updates each day on events for the sectionals. Keep checking back for details.
Please remember to bring some cash if you plan on purchasing food at the games. There will be many vendors selling gear, LuLu Lemon, BSC (compression clothing), Shoe Mart (inov-8's, vibram 5's, etc.. shoes), Heather Bars, Freak Food, and Again Faster. I am sure that most of these vendors will have means for credit cards, however just in case I would have some cash on hand.

Congratulations to Justin who completed is 50K this past weekend. Justin ran it in 6 hours and 30 minutes, which is a great time!! The amazing part is that Justin ran the race while driving down to PA late Thursday night, sleeping in his car, positioning his food all by himself (nobody for support at the aid stations) and spent the whole day by himself. We are all very proud of you Justin for this awesome accomplishment!
For some more CFM Endurance team news, Chris Zak PR'd his 5K time this past weekend by 30 seconds! Chris has his eyes set on Lake Placid and his training has picked up a notch. Awesome job Chris!!
