POPSThe True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle
The next day, Dennis said goodbye to Nubs, but he didn't forget about the dog. He began mentioning Nubs in emails he wrote to friends and family back home. "I found a dog in the desert," Dennis wrote in an email in October 2007. "I call him Nubs. We clicked right away. He flips on his back and makes me rub his stomach." "Every couple of weeks, we'd go back to the border fort and I'd see Nubs every time," says Dennis. "Each time, he followed us around a little more." And every time the men rumbled away in their Humvees, Nubs would run after them. On one trip to the border fort in December 2007, Dennis found Nubs was badly wounded in his left side where he'd been stabbed with a screwdriver. "The wound was infected and full of pus," Dennis recalls. "We pulled out our battle kits and poured antiseptic on his wound and force fed him some antibiotics wrapped in peanut butter." That night, Nubs was in so much pain that he refused food and water and slept standing up.

POPSRunning Doc: What to eat and drink pre- and post-workout French fries and chocolate milk, anyone? :lol: More: Post workout, a recovery drink that has carbs as well as added protein is best (in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate:protein) so as to have amino acids available for repair. If you do not have a “recovery drink” be sure to eat protein in your next meal. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, tomato juice, and chocolate milk are all good food alternatives to the scientific drinks. Many runners I know love French fries and chocolate milk after a marathon—it works great and you deserve the treat!

POPSRunning Doc: Pre- and post-race tips for newbies
More: The day of your race, eat the same as you do on long training runs/walks…my favorite pre-race meal in training: the “Elvis Bagel” (peanut butter and banana on a bagel)… After the event, within 2 hours of finishing, have a recovery drink with protein in it. There are commercial products but chocolate milk works as good as all these scientific mixes… “Marathon feet” are common to get in the middle of the night post race…This again is due to inflammation of the soft tissue structures and easily preventable. When you get back to your home or hotel room, a simple immersion in an ice bath for 15 minutes will prevent this happening to you!… Do not get a post event massage until a minimum of 2 hours after finishing the race…Do not try any new stretches or have someone stretch you out again until 72 hours have passed… Give yourself two or three days of rest before starting your training again. Try a nice swim in these days, but allow yourself some recovery time.

POPSCoconut Butter Like natural peanut butter or almond butter, the oils in the coconut butter will naturally rise to the top of the jar as it sets. It is also important to understand that this oil will turn to a solid at temperatures cooler than 76 degrees F.

POPSTricked out caramel apples Go to the source to see the inside of the apple. Use a melon baller to scoop out the seeds and core from the bottom. Fill that cavity with chocolate (or something else) and plug with a bit of scooped out apple. Then, dip in caramel and topping. Wowzer!

POPSCertain foods can help women of all ages stay fit, healthy Something for the ladies. "Just as your lifestyle changes in each decade, so do your nutritional needs," said Melina B. Jampolis, M.D., an internist and author of "The Busy Person's Guide to Permanent Weight Loss." "For example, a 20-something needs to take calcium and vitamin D for strong bones, while a woman in her 40s should eat plenty of lean protein to help maintain muscle mass."
