Shakes and smoothies can be a great way to get your nutrition in, and I put together a killer. Calling it The Panther Shake since, well duh what site are you on right, but also because the color is a Continue reading Nutrition: Panther Shake + a midweek homeworkout
I used to be an awesome runner and then I took a 1/2 marathon to the calf! Ok, not really (and sorry for the terrible Skyrim reference) but this weekend’s foray into the world of runs longer than 10k was Continue reading Running: Lost Trail 1/2 Marathon 2013
I’ve often read about “The Beast”, sometimes with different names, but most often from runners. I’ve done Triathlons, done 10ks in the past, I was a professional athlete, and so I thought I knew The Beast. Turns out, I had Continue reading Hello Beast, nice to meet you. Now please go away.

Today was not a good day for my feet, and related to that, for footwear. I zipped out for a sandal run and took my neighbor along. We did an easy miler (since this was her first run in a Continue reading Post this under “Spoke too soon”
In a previous attempt to get in shape I depended a lot on “common knowledge” in gearing myself up. I went to a pro shoe store and showed them my gait (somewhere between a drunk rhino and a seizure) and Continue reading Running shoes suck, or the day I began loving running in sandals
