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 mentally exhausted [...]

Squash Casserole with Feta, Lemon, and Oregano
A Case of the Runs
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 wheat flour that gave us trouble with fresh pasta; luckily there were no disasters with the pizza. [...]
Brendan Brazier's Thrive
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 the percentage of vegetarians in the general population. While there could be other [...]
Homemade Energy Bars
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 or they [...]
Running, Eating, Gamblin'
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 [...]
Thai-ing One On
Sorry for the late post today; recently I've been writing them during my office hour at school. But get this–today a student actually came to office hour to learn something. The nerve!
30-Day Challenge Check-In
It has been 28 complete days since I last drank caffeinated coffee, the wonder drug that makes me extremely happy for no [...]
Chickpea, Carrot and Parsley Salad
You know how when you're cooking something, you start to get a gut feeling about whether it's going to be any good or not, even without having tasted any of it? This sixth sense is remarkably accurate; usually when I tell Erin "I don't have high hopes for this one," it does indeed pretty much [...]
Bowtie Pasta with Summer Squash and Tomatoes
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 at a [...]
Too Many Drinks to Run 13 Miles
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 didn't feel [...]
Bad Weather, Good Food
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 workout and some foam rolling today instead (look for a post [...]
Hi there, I'm Matt. I went vegetarian last March, and almost immediately I became a much stronger runner. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon; now it's on to my first 50-miler!
