Icy Chia Fresca

Let me know if you try this recipe or your own vari­a­tion. Icy Chia Fresca Ingre­di­ents 1/2–1 Tbs Ground chia seed ~6 ice cubes 1/2 cup water 1/2 lime […]

The Jungle Effect

jungle_effect

I began read­ing The Jun­gle Effect: A Doc­tor Dis­cov­ers the Health­i­est Diets from Around the World—Why They Work and How to Bring Them Home by Daphne Miller, MD., over the week­end. I dis­cov­ered the book while look­ing in the health sec­tion at Books, Inc. I had just fin­ished Born to Run and was inter­ested in […]

Sarah Palin Running

In the lat­est edi­tion of Runner’s World, August 2009, there is an inter­view with Sarah Palin. In the inter­view, Sarah says that she notices her days don’t go as well when she doesn’t run. I have some advice for you, Sarah Palin: “Run more. A lot more. I want to see more run­ning the roads […]

Dean Karnazes

Dean Kar­nazes When it comes to Dean Kar­nazes, there’s a lot of con­tro­versy. Peo­ple tend to either love him, or hate him. And the line seems to exist between those who call them­selves real ultra­run­ners, and those who aren’t famil­iar with any ultra­run­ners except Dean. While the biggest thing to admire about Dean is probably […]

On Pins and Needles

Pins

I paid my first visit ever to an acupunc­tur­ist yes­ter­day — her name is Beth. This was the first time I had ever vis­ited one, and maybe even the first time I had ever come face to face with one. Turns out, they’re not nec­es­sar­ily sadochists who get plea­sure out of inflict­ing pain on people. […]

The Sole of the Problem

header-soleoftheproblem

I recently fin­ished read­ing Born to Run, A Hid­den Tribe, Superath­letes, and the Great­est Race the World Has Never Seen. To say that it turned every­thing I thought I knew about run­ning upside down would be an under­state­ment. I lit­er­ally dis­cov­ered that things I had just learned about run­ning – and from some of the most accom­plished coaches out there – were com­pletely wrong. In fact, some of the lessons peo­ple taught me could very well have been con­tribut­ing to my injuries!

Break a Leg

I was at the park the other day with my two daugh­ters. As I hob­bled back from throw­ing some­thing away in the trash can, my 7-year-old exclaimed, “You take for­ever!” I responded, “Yeah, I know.” I then thought out loud, “I won­der how long it will be before I can run faster than you again.” […]

2007 Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon

Here is a great com­pi­la­tion of pho­tos by Bare­foot Ted, taken dur­ing the 2007 Ultra Marathon in Cop­per Canyon. And make sure you pay close atten­tion to the words in the back­ground music! Hilar­i­ous. This race is the one that was set up by Caballo Blanco and told in the book Born to Run. Scott Jurek. […]
