Information Wednesday

     Here are two interesting articles for today.  The first is on climate change.  It is going to reshape the world in our lifetimes, not that of our grandchildren.  It will happen in less than twenty years, with flooding of major cities and crashing food production.  China is finally getting involved.  We need to do so, as well.

     The next subject links increased running injuries with low vitamin D levels.  Running injuries are increased over the the winter months with less sun exposure.  Running performance is increased over the summer months with more sun exposure.  I don't take supplements, but may start taking some vitamin D in the winter months.  My chronic running injury, the proximal hamstring tendinopathy, did occur in the winter.  Maybe there is something to this.
