Ask Ginger

Hey Ginger,                                                                                                                                                                       I'm in a fueling/fitness conundrum. I'm currently running between 20-25 miles a week, swim laps 2 hours a week, and I do 2 hourlong spin classes a week. I've also gained 25 pounds since last summer. ACK!
