20 trail miles, 2 unplanned In further preparation for my first 50K (five days left!), I went for a long run this weekend with some friends, on the course where my second 50K — this one in January — will be run. We planned on 18 miles, but got lost for a little bit and…
Hey guys, it's Christine here wishing you a happy Sweet-Tooth Black Friday! I hope you had a nice veggie filled Thanksgiving yesterday. If you are taking a break from shopping and noshing on leftovers already, be sure to set some cranberry sauce aside for today's recipe, Vegan Cranberry Crumble bars, made with a secret helping…
Image via Wikipedia Happy almost-Thanksgiving! I've been busy all day with cooking for our first turkey-less turkey day, and there's still lots more to do, so this post will just be a quick one. Well, the title says it all — I took Sunday and Monday off from running. I said at the beginning of…
Image via Wikipedia Shin Happens Shin pain sucks. It's so frustrating to feel that your fitness is improving but the small muscles in your shins are preventing you from becoming the runner you know you can be. During my first three or four years as a runner, I was plagued by shin problems. As soon…

Ah, another weekend gone by with priority given to living over blogging. Luckily, I have a sweet giveaway to make it up to you… more on that in a minute. JFK 50-Miler I spent my Saturday crewing for three friends from my running group who ran in the JFK 50-Miler. This basically meant that another…

Hello foodies! It's Christine here for Sweet-Tooth Friday! As the holidays roll around, it's time to show off your culinary prowess! To go along with my post on how to be a healthier baker, I thought I'd let you in on some more general (but uber-important) tidbits I've picked up as a professional baker. Ten…

Take one down, pass it around As of yesterday, 99 No Meat Athlete shirts (plus a few freebies) are floating around this planet! Most are in the U.S. lower 48, but I've shipped some to Hawaii, Australia, Denmark, and many to Canada (eh?). This is so neat for me, since when I first considered…

My newest cookbook/love/obsession, 1,000 Vegan Recipes, is still batting 1,000. I've made four meals from it and all of them have been very good. I already told you about pasta with white bean and garlic sauce; here are the next three I've tried. Red bean chili: The stuff that kinda looks like meat — bulgur…

You may be wondering why I'm choking down green slime. I'm doing a seven-day cleanse; that's why. To be honest, I have no idea if these things work. I know there's a lot of doubt about whether herbs and fiber can actually do anything to clear out your liver, kidneys, lymph system, and a bunch…

1000 Vegan Recipes I don't buy cookbooks very often. You can get so many recipes online, pirated adapted by bloggers like me, that it's hard to justify spending 35 dollars (29 with my BN member card) on a cookbook. But impulse buys are fun. Also fun — posing for stupid pictures. I'm not a vegan…
