You know, I have a Grape Nuts story. In my late 20's, I had a hankering for Grape Nuts. So one morning I ate three bowls of them. It was summer, and it was 95 degrees with high humidity. So about an hour later, I did my daily workout, which consisted of a 4-mile run in Bellefonte PA past the factory and up the mountain a half mile and back.

I made it back to my apartment building fine (the Krider Exchange) and proceeded to walk the three flights to my apartment. When I stepped onto the third floor, my vision went black. Knowing this was probably not a good thing, I sat down on the landing and hoped either my vision returned or someone happened by to get me to the hospital. Well, it took about 10 minutes, but eventually my vision returned.

Moral of the story is do not eat three bowls of Grape Nuts, then run four miles in extreme heat immediately after. When you finish the run, all the blood goes from your brain to your gullet to try to digest the Grape Nuts. Coating your stomach with whole milk before a four-mile run in extreme heat, also not real bright.

Carry on.
