Happy Halloween! As I write this post, I'm wrapped in the blissful warmth of a Snuggie. Yes, "The Blanket That Has Sleeves." Why? Read on, my friends. One of the girls in my new ultra-running group had a Halloween party last night. At first I wasn't sure if I'd go since I've really just met…
Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday! It's Christine here with your healthy dessert recipe of the week. With all the sugary Halloween candy going around, I thought it would be nice to explore an alternative sweetener like stevia! Is stevia safe? After a not-so-great first experience with stevia and pumpkin, I vowed to do some more research on…
Hey no-meaties, I thought I'd give you a little change of pace today with a mid-week guest post. Rachel writes the blog Shedding It and Getting It, and she has a fantastic, energetic attitude toward fitness and body image. She's training for the Disney Marathon in January, and she just finished her first half. Here…
Ok, remember when I was interviewed a few weeks ago? Well, that interview was part of the column The Extreme Self, which is part of True/Slant, an "original content news network." The way it works is True/Slant organizes a group of contributors who write news-opinion pieces for them. It's pretty much a decentralized newspaper, without…

Vibram FiveFingers Review I've had my Vibram FiveFingers for a few weeks now. A lot of you had asked me to let to you know how I like them, but I really won't be able to do that until I've built up enough mileage in them to go for longer runs. At this point I'm…

It's official — I'm hooked on trail running. And I can't say I saw this one coming. I've long considered myself an indoorsman; even as a kid I preferred to stay home and read a book than go out on a hike. To this day, hiking sounds miserable to me. When I'm camping and everyone…

Hi everybody, it's Christine here with a special edition of Sweet-Tooth Friday. Today we're going to look at the flipside of the baking world and make our own bread. Don't panic though — in this foolproof recipe there's no yeast, no kneading, and no lengthy rising times. And I promise, this flatbread recipe will bring…

Ladies and gentleman, it's a sad day in NMA world. Last night, for the first time ever, my wife spit out the food I made for her. I don't remember her exact words, but it was something to the extent of "If I swallow that, I'll puke." The food in question was a piece of…

On Monday, Erin and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary! I'd love to tell you that the reason there was no blog post yesterday is because we snuck off for a spontaneous mid-week getaway to a bed and breakfast to pamper ourselves and celebrate. The reality is that there was a server issue that kept…
