Coming Clean. Coming Around.

It’s August 21st.  I’ll be 31 in two days.
In general, I feel like about seventy million bucks.
But this month has been hard for me. It’s "Christmas season" for my biggest client (read: long hours making marketing for people), it’s a big month for event for photography (read: long weekends working), and I just wrote something […]

No Really, Get Your Iron Checked.

I’ll admit it.  I was mega-skeptical about this whole iron thing when it came up.  It’s one of those things where one person tells you about something and then you start hearing it all over.
The iron buzz!!  Get your iron checked!  Everyone is doing it!
It all started last year when I met HG during ‘cross.  […]

Feeling Good Never Felt So Good

On Saturday I got back on the bike for real.  I went out with a teammate to go long and slow.  Long and steady.  My training doesn’t usually call for LSD, so I was looking forward to ignoring the HR monitor and just riding.
I wanted to learn a new route, so I called on the […]

Training While Sick: What’s the Verdict?

My cousin asked me about this a little over a month ago when she was down with some really nasty cold/flu stuff. 
"Should I run?"
I told her to stop and get better.  Or, if she did want to get a few miles in just for sanity’s sake, to go someplace warm (a gym) and do them […]

Ten Rules for Good Nutrition from Berardi

Dude.
Sal and I collaborated last night to make a bomb-shizilly good dessert.  There are pictures and everything!  But, wouldn’t you know it, my accountant is beating down my door for Q4 paperwork.  While I go deal with grumpy Mr. Moneypants, I thought I’d post John Berardi’s article, "Changing the Rules of Good Nutrition" for you […]

Wow. I Heart Analog Saturday.

I missed you.  I missed you so much.
In the morning I woke up and thought about you.  I wondered if you had watched the video and what you would think.  I wondered what you were wearing… wait.  I didn’t wonder that.
But I did miss you.
Analog Saturday was hard at first.  I wanted to check my […]

Yoga for the Non-Yogi

Tony Horton is many things, but a yogi he is not. 
(Aside: Tony Horton is the guy behind P90X, the program I am doing right now.)
As I’m watching his impressive legs move in his little tight yoga pants, I’m thinking more about the fact that he looks like a kid who is ready to watch Saturday […]

Going Dry: Giving Up the Bottle

Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you that I like my beer.  Specifically, I like it dark and strong.  When I moved to Portland, it was like moving to the beer-lover’s wonderland.  This place is wall to wall with absolutely stunning brews.
In San Francisco, I was more inclined to order a good glass […]

Why You Probably Won’t Keep Your New Years Resolutions (And how to launch a pre-emptive strike)

New Years is an awesome time.  It’s a time when many people feel like they are getting a fresh start.  A clean page.  A blank slate. 
It’s a new year!  Full of possibilities!  Full of potential!  The sky is the limit!  Anything can happen! 
Indeed, this manic energy is catching.  The electricity of so much hope and […]

Hey! I found the proof! It was in the pudding! (P90X Progress Update)

If there’s one thing I know for sure, I am a big old sucker for data.
Why?
Tracking achievement in quantifiable terms is ridiculously motivating.
Today, at my second body composition test, the numbers gave me valuable data for moving forward - and provided a huge motivational boost.
