Q & A: Running Without Eating and Aerobic Base

IRIS, Golf and the Happy Lens

After I shared my goals for June, I received a number of questions asking what new sport I was taking on? I had never really played golf before in my life and I thought what better way to learn than in a tournament?! Turns out, golf is not something that you can just wing and… Read More…

Book Review: Running on Empty by Marshall Ulrich

Happy Humpday! What week it has been so far… Perhaps most notably, my baby sister was struck by a car on her bike on Monday night and needed to be transported to the hospital in an ambulance. She is pretty cut up and is sporting a nice set of stiches on her chin, but we… Read More…

Nuun Energy – Poppin’ Tabs

I’ll never forget the first time I topped a Nuun tab. It was a hot day in July and I had been on a particularly long road ride. My friend pulled out this small tube and dropped a pink circle into my water that started hissing and spitting and finally settled into the most delicious… Read More…
