The Thanksgiving Holiday is past and if a person ate more than a normal meal those extra pounds have now settled in for the long haul. For runners this usually is not a problem because they run those extra second helpings of food off on a daily run. I remember being at gatherings of holiday celebrations with a group of runners and was always amazed how these ‘skinny’ runners could eat all that was on their plate. The one incident that I recall is at the Houston Marathon and lining up for the pasta supper that the organizers had before the race. The favored woman runner was Patty Catalano and she was in front of Ros Hill and me. We thought we would see what she ate and follow her plan. After her second or third helping of spaghetti we gave up. She beat us by a number of minutes so it must have been those extra helpings of pasta that did it for her.
