The Best Stuff I Read Last Week

Once again, my "weekend post" comes at the very tail end of the weekend… only three hours to spare! It was a busy weekend, but I'm not complaining — "busy" comprised a 9-mile trail run (my last of any real difficulty before Boston next Monday), brewing beer (a dunkelweizen) and grilling up some vegan sausages,…

How @Twitter Can Make You a Better #Runner

[susan first tweet image]

I'll admit it: I only got a Twitter account to shut Matt up. Since I began writing for No Meat Athlete, he'd been trying to get me to join Twitter, emphatically stating the networking opportunities were endless. Talking with strangers? Noooooo, thank you. I remembered seeing an after-school special about that when I was a…

The Best Stuff I Read Last Week

Well, it's only my second "weekend links" post, and already I'm running late on it.  But technically, it's still the weekend for four more hours, so I can only consider this a win. Here we go…get those clicking fingers ready. Vegan 101: The Ethics of Veganism – JL Goes Vegan When I went vegan last…

Sunday Links! (Awesome SXSW Edition)

The weekend link post seems to be a popular thing these days.  And since I've been finding a lot of good stuff recently that doesn't always tie in directly to what I'm writing about, I'm going to give it a try.  Maybe Sundays, maybe Saturdays. The links in this first one are from people I…

Last-Minute Austin, TX Meetup

Okay, really last minute post here, but I guess that's how it works when you try to plan a meetup in a city you've never been to, around a conference you've never attended, and you're really indecisive… Anyway, I'm at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas, learning lots of cool stuff and meeting lots…

From Couches and Cupcakes to 'Competitor'

It was one year ago that I started writing for No Meat Athlete. One year ago, Matt called me inspirational and I accused him of being high. Obviously, hindsight being what it is, I realize could have handled that interaction with my future boss a little bit better. Though Matt wouldn't let me title this…

Grocery Hacks: 6 Money-Saving Tricks for the Vegetarian Athlete on a Budget

[money wrapped in food package image]

Imagine seeing $419.26 at the bottom of your grocery receipt.  Now imagine that's just for one week, and it's just for you. This is how much it costs vegan ultrarunner Scott Jurek to eat for a week, as calculated in Tim Ferriss' epic 4-Hour Body.  (Alright, now just for fun, feel free to imagine yourself…

Fruitarianism, 80/10/10, and 30 Bananas a Day!?

[bananas image]

Note: This is a guest post from Jon Soldo, who writes the blog Running Dummy. These people must be insane. Upon hearing about the "fruitarian" movement, this was my reaction.  I mean… eating 30 bananas a day!  Is that healthy?  Is that safe?  Would I ever be able to poop again!? After the initial shock wore off I…
