Now that marathon training has officially started, I'm looking forward to my first track workout tonight– three miles, 6:01 pace, with a minute rest in between each.  When I did this same workout back in January right before I got injured, I could only complete the first such mile.  After that, I think I had…

Here's a spring and summer favorite that will knock your socks off!  The weather has been fantastic the past few days, and as I've been running outside in the sun I've been itching to get home and fire up the grill for dinner.  But will grilling ever be the same without burgers and chicken?  As…
