I had the opportunity to compete in my first team triathlon this past weekend.  It was soooooo much fun!  I can't wait to compete in another one.  I've often competed in individual sports: swimming, track, road races, duathlons, triathlons.  My efforts were all based on how well I trained and how well I did that day.  Sure, in some of these sports I trained and competed as a team, but my event was solely mine.  My efforts helped and supported my team, but I was the only one who could do the work for my event.  

Looking for a convenient way to eat five or more fruits and vegetable servings a day? Keep dried fruit on hand for a quick and healthy snack. Our registered dietitian recommends dried figs, apricots, raisins, plums, blueberries, cranberries or dates. Toss some on your cereal, salad or yogurt, accent a rice dish or enjoy just as they are.Dried fruit contains more nutrients and calories than an equal amount of whole fruit. A quarter cup or palmful counts as a serving. No washing, peeling or slicing required!
