I've stayed away from fake meat products for a while now, so it's been a long time since I've had any food in quotes.

Whew! I just got back from my 20-miler this morning, that which was postponed due to my feeling like crap when I woke up yesterday. All better today though! I did it in 2:38:54, a 7:56 minute-per-mile pace. This is a little slower than the 7:45 I was shooting for. My temptation is to list a ...
Alright guys and gals, exciting post today. On Tuesday I talked to Brendan Brazier, vegan professional Ironman triathlete and author of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life. If you've read my blog at all during the past month or two, then you know how much ...
