⛽️ Fueling: I’m eating my own dog food, joining 10,000 other elite athletes and optimizing my fueling with @Notemeals . @BethMiller_7, RD, CSSD, will be turning my logs into meal plans, and ensuring adequate energy availability. #DontFearTheCarbs
💪 Body Composition: I am aiming for weekly InBody tests, and monthly DEXA scans to measure changes in lean mass, fat mass and visceral fat. I'll also be comparing my own data to aggregated and anonymized data in Notemeal.
This is gonna take a while… #VirtualBostonMarathon 🐌
Encouraging news, at least 3 or 4 students knew who the Fonz was today. There may be hope for this younger generation
Today's trifecta: radon, @DrRubidium & gaslighting
Today featured cobalt, Alfred Werner and MacGyvering (the real MacGyver has a mullet. Accept no substitutes or reboots)

Overwhelmed with emotions on Boylston Street as I literally & figuratively soaked in every moment. Tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of sorrow. Thanks for all your support! alexslemonade.org/mypage/1121983 #BostonMarathon #TogetherForward #TwinsRunBoston
