Race Report: Melbourne Music Marathon

Melbourne Marathon Finish Line

This is a delayed race report; I ran the Melbourne Music Marathon on (Superbowl) Sunday, February 1. At the end of my night before the race, I went to bed later than I wanted. However, when I woke up the next morning, I surprisingly wasn’t as tired as I thought I might be. I didn’t feel great, mind you, but at least I didn’t have a feeling of “counting down” to the number of hours until the race would be over and I could take a nap. (Yes, I have done marathons where I’ve gotten so little rest that that’s …

Giveaway: Krusteaz Pancake and Waffle Mixes

Krusteaz Coffee Cake and Waffles

Last night was supposed to be Bachelor night, but I had to postpone because of the inspection on my new house. However that actually worked out perfectly, since today was National Pancake Day… and instead of the usual Bachelor night fare, I did breakfast for dinner! I used Krusteaz Blueberry Belgian Waffle Mix to make cute little heart-shaped blueberry waffles, and then I found a zucchini/onion/mozzarella frittata recipe that came out really good, especially with a dollop of tomato sauce and some freshly julienned basil leaves on top. And for dessert? I adapted this Krusteaz Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake recipe …

Strong Beer, Strong Legs, STRONG Weekend!

House

This post is coming to you from the plane back to Denver from Phoenix, where I spent an epic weekend visiting Adam. It was honestly one of the best weekends ever, and the only downsides were that I didn’t get enough sleep and also had to get up at 4am in order to catch my flight home 🙁 But I didn’t want to go! On the mad dash to the airport this morning (Adam and I both agreed it was like old times when we always had the Monday morning consulting commute-by-air), there wasn’t really time to stop for coffee …

Bad Science: Is Running As Bad For Your Health As Being a Couch Potato?

There’s been a new scientific article about running making the rounds lately, and it’s causing a bit of an uproar. In short, the 2012 Copenhagen City Heart Study was recently republished in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and all the media articles that have picked up on the results are using some form of the hyperbolic headline: “Running will kill you faster than sitting on the couch.” Um, what?! I don’t by any means consider science to be one of my strong suits, but I decided to do some digging to figure out what was going on …
