It’s Valentine’s Day and I Love Food (Blue Mountain Review)
A couple weekends ago, I packed up the Prius and headed to Blue Mountain for a winter adventure. I have spent many wintery afternoon on the hills, but it was a treat to be able to stay at a lodge by the base of the hill. I stayed in a suite in Weider Lodge, which opens… Read More…
Chia: The Sexiest Food In Running
No other food has become sexier in the ultra community than chia seeds. I mean, we’ve all read Born to Run.

Book Review: Mind Gym by Gary Mack
One of my goals for 2014 is to work through a book every month. As a past English major, this would be a laughably small amount of reading, but when you through in a full time job, a busy training schedule and some semblance of a social life, the reading hours in my days are… Read More…
