15-Mile Run To cap off Week 2 of my training for Wineglass (14 weeks left!), I did my 15-miler today. I had planned to do it yesterday at a really flat trail near school, but a meeting with my thesis advisor ran way long and by the time I finished I was too ...

No new recipe today, so this post is all about runs! I did make some pizza from scratch over the weekend, but I've already posted a pizza recipe so that's nothing new. I used the same stone-ground whole ...

The Thrive Diet As I've started to learn more about vegetarian endurance athletes and their diets, I've noticed something interesting. First, there is a disproportionate number of them; that is, the percentage of well-known endurance athletes who are vegetarian is much higher than ...

Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday! This is Christine again, so get your ovens revved up for some Athletic baking! Instead of dessert, this week I'm tackling home-baked Energy Bars! Most "healthy" bars on the market are fairly expensive and fall into one of two categories; they have enough sugar and processing to qualify as candy ...

Running Yesterday's track workout was noticeably easier than the previous week's, and how could it not have been? Four half-mile repeats with two minutes of rest after each, as opposed to three one-mile repeats with only a minute rest after each. And accordingly, I came much closer to the goal time. The half-miles were supposed to ...

13 Miles, Lots of Sweating, No Water Ok, I'm back from the run. 13 miles in an hour and 50 minutes, about an 8:27 pace. This is a good bit slower than the 7:45 pace I had hoped for, but I don't feel too badly about it because I recently ran the half marathon ...

Well, 13 miles at 7:45 pace didn't happen on Sunday. Erin and I went out to dinner on Saturday night and met some friends afterward in the city for some drinks. We ended up staying out for a while, and I had a few lot more drinks than planned! So even though I ...

Happy (rainy) Saturday, everyone! I was planning to do a 13-miler today, as per my Week 1 training schedule, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow and hopefully find a dry two-hour window to get the run in. I'll do an indoor Core Performance Endurance ...
