Abbott and Costello

Here's my morning snack at work today...
Raw sweet potato with crushed pepper and TINY bit of salt.
I feel like Lucho is playing a joke on me, "Yeah, you're going to want to eat raw sweet potatoes and drink the sweat you wring out of your running socks."

Reminds me of Lou Costello eating raw onions after being told they were "Arabian apples".

I have backup...
Baseball is for rolling feet on and putting under sore hamstrings while I sit.  Co-workers come up grab, play with and handle the baseball.  I just smile.

  2. "Baseball is for rolling feet on and putting under sore hamstrings while I sit. Co-workers come up grab, play with and handle the ________. I just smile." Sounds like an interesting work environment.

    Raw sweet taters?

    Lucho is a wizard.

  4. I keep a tennis ball in the car at all times for the hips/hammies. Let me know how that yam deal works out.

  6. Did not think anyone else had such things in their work desk! Always count on a fellow ultra runner! I have a few different sizes of balls: tennis, softball,golfball, etc you get the drill. No pun intended. Added thera-bands for leg strengthening in my desk recently (just hook around a stable object).

    Good stuff.

  7. Hmmm, thera-bands. I could set up a little gym in my cubicle.

  8. Did they spike your blood sugar or anything? And they are raw? I thought potatoes had to be cooked?

    I use a golf ball only in extreme conditions when my IT band is ugly - tears flow with that thing....

  9. Happy Trails- The glycemic load of a lot of foods changes when you cook it. For a sweet potato it is:
    Sweet potato, boiled - 77–78 (considered high)
    Sweet potatoes, raw - 44–48 (considered low)
    And for reference, salmon is 48.

    So a blood sugar spike will happen more likely if you cook them.

  10. Lucho - thanks for the info. You ever thought of writing a book...?

  11. HT- I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm a fairly terrible writer really.

  12. Lucho - I'm sure there are "authors" who are terrible writers but still have a good story to tell...that's what editors are for.

    You and FF have good info to share. Seems two people would by the book :-)
