Quote of the Week:
“At the end of Glycolysis, pyruvate is formed, which can go one of two routes: it can be converted into lactate via the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenize (LDH) or into acetyl-CoA via PDH and enter the mitochondria to be used in the Krebs cycle and produce energy aerobically.”
- Steve Magness
(ask Tim for clarity, he's the chemist and it all seems to be working for him!)

Congrats to all the Eau Claire participants! It was another great weekend! Some PRs, some superheroes that ran 3 races, plus some commoners that had a lot of fun! Thank you Emi for all the love and soul you put into this event! We got 2nd place in the team competition - next year we are chartering a bus and everyone (except those running the marathon) and their adult kids will be required to run the 5k and/or10k.
