I'm still not a huge fan of video blogs (also called "vlogs," one of the dumbest words I've ever heard). I guess I'd just rather read a well-written post than watch someone talk about something off the cuff. But there are times when videos are more appropriate, and this is one of them.
Down with needless [...]

What fake meat has to do with baseball
I once heard an interview with a guy who was somehow deemed the worst player in Major League Baseball. When asked how this felt, he replied,"It's better than being the best player in the minor leagues."
Now do me a favor. Suspend your better judgement and replace "minor leagues" with "fake meat aisle," and think of [...]
Hurts so good
Greetings from a snowed-in household! We're buried in two feet of it today, so there's been a lot of movie-watching going on in the NMA household. Having concluded the evening last night with the important Balls of Fury, I was very tempted to make a "balls" joke in the title of this post, my review [...]
Thrive Fitness
Before I get to what Brendan Brazier's Thrive Fitness is, let me start with what it isn't. It's not a diet plan: Thrive, Brendan's first book, already went there. And while I consider Thrive to be somewhat revolutionary in its comprehensive treatment of the vegan diet for athletes, Thrive Fitness isn't going to change the [...]
iHerb.com shopping spree!
Alright people; it's time. iHerb.com has been generous enough to give us three things: a $50 shopping spree for me, a $50 shopping spree for one of you, and a coupon code (RAZ652) that anyone can use to get $5 off his or her first purchase.
So, here's the deal with iHerb. They're an online health-food-slash-supplement [...]

Flaxmatters.com flaxseed
In my house, we go through a lot of flaxseed. For years, I've been adding flaxseed oil to my smoothies to get the benefits of the healthy fats and omega-3's, but only recently have I realized how much more I like it in its whole-food form. While flaxseed oil has a pretty nasty taste [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Slow Burn = slow read
Well, I finally finished Stu Mittleman's book, Slow Burn. I say "finally" because it became a bit of a chore. It's not that Stu's message isn't interesting — the idea that we can train our bodies to burn fat rather than sugar in order to run far longer than most of us realize is possible [...]
Recovery Sock giveaway!
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 friend and [...]
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!
