Against the Grain in the Heat

As temperatures today in Philly exceeded those on the equator and the power grid got stretched to its limits, I joined my fellow Americans in turning up the air-conditioning another notch. Judging from the arctic temperatures some shopping malls created today, my carbon impact was still modest…
Today I’ve also been grain free for a year now. It so happens that after a year without breads, grains, starches, sugar I did not keel over in sugar cravings and most days I go 16-18 hours every day without food just as other LeanGains athletes.
Hiding in the cool cave of my basement gym I knocked out a random workout from the fantastic WodShop site.
