I had to laugh to myself. Last week in Amsterdam at one of the most premium hotels, I ordered a large side of garlicky sautéed spinach with my breakfast of two runny eggs and salmon. I told the server I liked a lot of veggies so please ask the chef to prepare a nice, hefty […]
Read More ›Why is it assumed that one would automatically want certain things with their meal when dining out? A basked of bread with butter is easy enough to turn away before the server actually even places it on the table but what about sides that come with a meal that weren’t on the menu? This evening, […]
Read More ›Oh, geez….here we go again. One of the interesting parts of receiving subscriptions to several triathlon and running periodicals is all the curious promotions from random products ranging from compression socks to running water bottles to ‘EPO Boost’ pills to, of course, ‘sports nutrition’. I feel the need to use quotes as many of the […]
Read More ›I’m not quite sure, but I don’t need to learn, now that I’ve found two good ‘in a pinch’ options for travel! I spent my first afternoon in Amsterdam wandering around all the shops along the canals, throughout the museum district near our hotel and into Old Town, too. I popped into a juice […]

Read More ›Whenever I’m heading out of town, there’s always at least one client or friend that will jokingly ask me how I’ll possibly stay true to my Paleo regime even amongst all the ‘X’ food (whatever any particular country is known for). When I headed to Madison for a race one year it was, “How are […]
Read More ›I love bananas. They’re quite possibly my favorite fruit for an important part of a post-endurance swim, bike or run recovery meal, as well as something I’ll eat during one of said activities if it’s one I’m approaching from the perspective of long aerobic versus short and fasted. But what about the mess? Yes, […]
Read More ›I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this very statement: My grandmother at soy every day and lived to be 105!
