New Year's is one of my favorite holidays. Not just because of the festivities; in fact, I prefer to take it easy on New Year's Eve because I really hate the idea of starting a brand new year hungover. For me, New Year's is a time to get inspired, dream big, and make plans for [...]

"I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas, and we're all in misery."
-Ellen Griswald, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Hope everyone who celebrates it had a happy Christmas! Ours was a lot of fun, hectic, and tiring as always. But that's what the holidays are all about, right? And I had my [...]
I swear this batch of beer is cursed!
Well, I've been a bad blogger. I said I'd be blogging all the time now that I'm on winter break, but I just missed two days in a row!
I have done some writing during that time. In the spirit of New Year's resolutions and changes, I wrote a Running Shorts piece about how I hate [...]
Vega Vibrancy Bars
I have officially decided that Vega is my favorite health food brand. Everything I've tried from them has been great. I think having pro triathlete Brendan Brazier (see my interview with him here) behind the company helps a lot. Having read Thrive, I know the kind of painstaking attention to detail he pays to what [...]
Sweet-Tooth Friday: Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie
Hi everybody! It's Christine here for Sweet-Tooth Friday, and I can't believe how quickly December is flying by! While enjoying this last week before Christmas, give this Vegan Chocolate Cream pie a whirl. It's so festive with its peppermint and marshmallows, no one will guess it's made from avocados!
A little look back
Not only has December flown [...]
Ultramarathon Man
What do you do when you're on winter break and finally have lots of time, but you're too sore to run?
Watch a movie about running! I picked up Dean Karnazes' Ultramarathon Man at the library yesterday (hint: your tax dollars pay for libraries — use them), so I'm watching that while I write this post. [...]
My kind of fake meat
Ups and downs
The decision to become vegetarian nine months ago has been one of the best I've ever made. It was primarily health-driven, and the result has been nothing short of what I had hoped. I now eat far better than I ever did when I was the healthiest meat-eater I knew, and I'm a [...]
I'm back, baby
Good news: my oral proposal is finished and I have my life back! In fact, now that I'm on winter break I have more time than I know what to do with, so I'm currently watching an ABC Family holiday movie with Sabrina the Teenage Witch and A.C. Slater called Holiday in Handcuffs.
Better news: I [...]
Sweet-Tooth Friday: Vegan Jubilee Bars
Merry Sweet-Tooth Friday! It's Christine here with another holiday dessert. This week I made vegan jubilee bars, which are like miniature versions of the classic Christmas fruitcake. But don't freak out— fruitcake doesn't have to live up to it's rock-hard reputation— these are a soft and delightfully chewy combination of fruit, nuts, and chocolate. They're [...]
SIGVARIS Athletic Recovery sock giveaway!
As predicted, I've been extremely busy getting ready for my oral qualifying exam on Friday. So busy, in fact, that I haven't even been able to get out for a run this week, and don't see it happening until this weekend. Oh well, they say a week off every once in a while is good [...]
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!
