A Healthy Shift in Perspective.

Like I said in my last blog, entitled FOOD IS FUEL, I have recently had a change in the way I think about eating.  I have been trying to shape my diet for my training.  I am working towards seeing food as fuel, not just something that should be as enjoyable (and consumed in as much of [...]

Food is FUEL!

So, remember how a couple of blogs ago I told you that I would let you know how I modified my diet and how it affected my workouts?  Well, I have data in hand.  It’s riveting stuff, I know.  But before you bail on this one, just think of how YOU could possibly modify your [...]

The Rubber Hits the Road

So there I was, standing in the middle of a diverse sampling of human beings.  I felt strangely comfortable though, like I was not sticking out in a good or bad way but instead was being absorbed into a solid group.
