You could also use nuun as an electrolyte replacement. It has some calcium in it along with other minerals.
I plan to use this as soon as it gets warmer than 30 degrees because I sweat a LOT.

You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."

Jump rope
Thanks for the jump rope idea. I've also read that chocolate milk is a good high-calcium energy drink, besides being tasty, so I'm going to add that to my daily routine.

When I was a kid I jump-roped all the time! Now just jumping 10 times in a row is tough. Jeeez!!!

Mimi, that tidbit from the 50s was interesting. I flunked my iron test a few weeks back (hemoglobin 11, so not a horrible flunk, but a flunk nonetheless) and the doc thinks it's exercise induced anemia. I'd never heard of it before (from the lit she gave me, about running and XC skiing, both of which I do a lot of: "The forces exerted on the red blood cells in the capillaries of the feet may rupture the blood cells and lead to anemia." Whoda thunk it??) She gave me some stuff to read and put me on a liquid iron supplement.
I also had a bone density wake up call a few years back...led me to drastically change my eating habits. I recently started using those calcium chews at the suggestion of my doc (fruit flavored, of course). A little sugar in them but not bad. I also lift weights and run, so I'm doing what I can.

Yellow, sounds good. I haven't seen any fruit flavored calcium chews; what are they called? We all have to do what we can do.
Recently, my DH had his annual exam, and they took blood very shortly after one of his 200 k rides. THere were some abnormalities that his doctor explained away by saying that he had had some extreme exercise a few days away.
THis included low white blood cells and cloudy urine!
