Thanks for visiting the site.
Today I put in a recovery oriented run of 4.5 miles, coming down off a reasonable race on Saturday, a sprint triathlon. Most notable part of that tri was the swim. I swam well, felt good the whole time, and saw schools of fish:)

Obviously the first thing I think about after running off 588 calories is "I can now eat brownies and ice cream."
Funny thing about frequent workouts is that the body starts to reject junk and crave good food. I'm stoked to have a bumper crop of butternut squash and artichokes this year.
Let's go into learning mode for a second, can we?
40 minutes of running might sound like a lot, but it goes by surprisingly fast. I don't run with headphones/music either, which is obviously weird because everyone else in the room had tiny white wires in their ears.
This article talks about people's ability to focus and the different types of activities that allow people to solidify experiences into memories.
People often work out with headphones, or watch TV, but digital devices that keep us engaged are actually preventing the memory consolidation processes in the brain. “People think they’re refreshing themselves, but they’re fatiguing themselves,” said Marc Berman, a University of Michigan neuroscientist.
Working out is actually a lot like meditation. And this break from digital distraction can be used to become much more clear headed.
Why am I running?
