On The Training Table

Cereal, as others have aptly described, is, “a road to nutritional corruption.” www.theguardian.com   and I fully agree.

Which would you rather drive?  While this may seem like a stupid question, we all want a dependable, sleek car over that clunker that keeps breaking down. Hey, most of us would settle for a dependable, upgraded, mid-size sedan over that rattletrap!
