I’ve always been a runner.
No really, I’m one of those people that can not run for ages and then just go out and do five miles - or six - whatever. It’s just sort of how I’m built. It’s in my blood. It’s like breathing to me… just part of how I make it through […]
People frequently ask me "how I stay so motivated".
It’s true, I’m a pretty high energy person (the people in my life right now are laughing at my use of understatement), but I’m definitely not always motivated. I was thinking about this yesterday because Skwigg answered this question for the second time on her blog and […]

Everyone is a fitness expert, right? […]
Leif Erickson trail is dark and damp. We roll up it, turning over pedals with legs that are something more than tired.
Spent.
We’re recovering. Neither one of us really understands this “recovery ride” thing, but we’ve learned to have faith and take chances. We’re giving it a shot.
We are alone. At least so far as cyclists […]

Don’t have time to deal with all the crap I wrote in “The Super Basic Five Steps You Can Take to Begin to Eat Smarter“?
No problem.
I boiled it down into three handy-dandy guidelines to give anyone a jumpstart on improving their nutrition.
