Endurance athletes have one thing in common. Regardless of age, they run to eat! I can remember finishing a long training run for the Air Force Marathon, and remember finishing my summit to the top of Mount Whitney. I remember backpacking out of the Grand Canyon. Afterwards, I gorged on whatever I wanted. I couldn’t get enough to eat, and I didn’t worry about one single calorie!

Maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but I believe that most endurance athletes believe they can outrun a bad diet.

But how does research actually answer the question: Can you outrun a bad diet?

I learned a lot about grandparenting from my grandparents.

LESSON ONE: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

Listen to me, those of you who have adult children and are anticipating or already have grandchildren! Mind your own business.

You don’t like the politics of your grown children? Mind your own business!
You don’t like the way you’re grown children parent your grandchildren? Mind your own business!

You don’t like the way your children spend their money? Mind your own business you don’t approve of their choices of friends, or choices of occupations, or even their choice of partners? Mind your own business!

You don’t like the tidiness or lack of tidiness of their home and think they should be getting along better with your other adult children, their siblings, or they get divorced. Mind your own business.

If you don’t approve of their choice of pets or the number of pets they have, keep your opinion and your advice to yourself. Even if you don’t approve of their choice of religion, denomination, or the church they attend, mind your own business!

If you want to have a loving caring, nurturing, supportive relationship with your grandchildren, then accept their parents, your grown children, for who they are and mind your own business.

This includes giving unsolicited advice. Never do it! Giving unsolicited advice is a subtle form of disapproval. I always felt alienated and the disapproval of my grandmother‘s because they disapproved of my parents’ choices.
