To me, the "Nada" sounds like the name of a fake product from one of those Saturday Night Live commercials. I can imagine the marketing meeting now…"Well, we can't call it the 'Nothing,' guys, because who wants to pay for nothing? I know, how about we just use the Spanish word? Then 'nothing' will seem…

Arg! More Running Frustrations I gave myself the day off after that miserable 18-mile run on Monday, and by the time Wednesday evening rolled around, I figured everything would be good to go for my track workout. I was right—almost. No GI distress or fatigue spells, no pain left over from the chafing (or bleeding). …
Here's a quick bonus post today. It occurred to me yesterday that maybe a lot of readers want to make the food I've been posting, but have never cooked and are afraid to try. So I figured it might be helpful if I posted some basic cooking tips to get them started. Since I had…
