An early morning coaches breakfast with running legend, Bill Rodgers, and 12 miles was going to make for a long morning.

Most runners prefer to run outside and not on the dreadmill treadmill. Since I am one of those runners that much prefers to be outside, Aaron questioned my sanity when I purchased a treadmill a couple of months back. “You hate the treadmill!”, he said.

An elevated resting heart rate can mean many things – some of those [...] Over the past few years I have had occasional bouts of low ferritin stores and/or anemia. Historically I don’t do well with iron supplements, so I try to focus on getting my iron from the foods that I eat.

When I normally shop at Fleet Feet it is because I need something, which isn’t necessarily the same thing as wanting something. I had my eye on a pair [...] I have been participating in some evening exercise classes recently which makes my dinner time later than the rest of the family’s. I can’t very well eat a full meal and then go run or to an intense exercise class. I found what works best for me is to fuel before hand with a gluten-free [...] |
  
My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.    |
