Saturdays have been my "personal post" days recently, as opposed to the more useful, entertaining info that isn't about me that I try to post during the week. That's been working well, so I'm sticking with it. Let's get personal!

Quitting coffee attracts some attention!
Week 1 coffee report

This past Tuesday marked one week on my new, randomized plan to quit coffee. In case you missed that post, the plan-in-a-nutshell is this: I supply my wife Erin with the coffee beans I will use for the week, starting with 60% regular, 40% decaf, and increasing [...]
Catching Up
Don't worry, you're not supposed to be at work
Recently, I haven't posted anything on Saturdays. Blog traffic is always a little lighter on the weekends, and it just seems I have more good stuff to write about during the week. But the idea came to me (on a run, of course) that perhaps Saturdays would [...]
Latest on the NMA baby
Hi everyone! This is Erin, Matt's wife. Hope you all are doing well! Due to popular demand, we decided that it was time to provide you all with an update on our little NMA baby, AKA Baby Fraz (our last name is Frazier).
I have been very fortunate to have had a very easy pregnancy so [...]
You know you make me wanna sprout
Procrastination. It sucks. Destroyer of dreams and goals, and responsible for hundreds of billions of deaths each year in the United States alone.
Worse, it has prevented me from sprouting beans and seeds for the past six months. When I first read Brendan Brazier's Thrive while on vacation last summer, I couldn't wait to get home [...]
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
Happy New Year! Hope things didn't get so crazy on New Year's Eve that you couldn't enjoy what is, in my humble opinion, the most inspiring day of the year. I kicked back a few strong stouts (like 8.5-12.5% alcohol), courtesy of my sister, but I started this morning with some apple/pear/carrot/ginger/beet/orange juice from our [...]

"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 [...]
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. [...]
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!
