By the time we got to Ben’s parents and caught up with everyone it was noon. I wanted to run, but know the Florida heat can kill be brutal. I did 3 slow miles. They were mostly slow because I still have a knot in my left hammy. It hurts. I stretched it out while eating watermelon and a chocolate…

Meals and Miles to the Airport
I made it to Florida! After another red eye – Ben and I are once again on the east side of the US Luckily, I did get some sleep on the overnight flight so it wasn’t too bad. LAX has the “naked scanner” as I like to call it. I opted for a pat-down since I’m conflicted on this situation….

What I Learned From My Best Friend
Lunch! I wanted eggs and a salad for lunch so I decided to make an egg salad, just not the “usual” kind. I made an egg patty and put it on top of a big ol’ bed of lettuce, onions and tomatoes. Lot’s of hummus, hot sauce and almonds rounded out the meal. Now I’m munching on open faced PB&J….

Ask A Lot, Give A lot
I get a lot of emails from people who run because they want to lose weight but don’t want to eat to fuel their runs. I always say – When you ask a lot of your body (in the form of making it go for miles), Give a lot back (in the form of good food and good rest). I…

Runner Question: Chub Rub
