A few weeks ago I discovered Zukay at an endurance fair.  I bought a bottle of beet ginger juice to try out and was pleased with how it tasted.  Then I ran into Scott, founder of Zukay, at Paleo Fx and decided that it would be a great idea to share his story and his knowledge with you.  I used Scott's recommendation of a pre-workout glass of beet juice this morning before the Valley Forge 5-Mile run and I got my best time ever, beating last year's time by almost a full minute and squeaking in … [Read more...]

April 2013 Egg Cassarole

Eating breakfast is something that I have a love / hate relationship with. I like breakfast foods but don't like having to wake up earlier in order to cook and eat breakfast - I'd rather sleep an extra twenty minutes and fast until noon or throw some grass-fed butter and coconut oil into the blender along with my coffee to start my day. So this week I brought breakfast back in my house, and decided to go back to making the weekly baked egg casserole that I used to make when I was eating … [Read more...]

Get Outside! How do you move your exercise outdoors?

March 20, 2013 By 1 Comment

Well we are finally here, the first day of spring! Sometimes we need a little reminder to get out of the gym and into nature.  Changing up your workout routine for a run outside instead of on the treadmill can have lots of great benefits, especially if you can hit the trails and soak in all the beauty of nature that's around you!  Yes your pace may suffer a bit, but you'll also be developing stronger ankles and keeping your mind sharp as you scan for tree branches, roots, rocks, and how … [Read more...]

This past weekend my husband completed his first Ironman, Ironman Arizona 2012.  For those of you that don’t know, an Ironman consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run – meaning you’re traveling 140.6 miles under your own manpower.   140 miles is long in a car…. It’s an amazing achievement of the human body.  I’m really proud of him for all of his hard work and his accomplishment, and finishing in with a smile on his face.  Last year we tackled the half … [Read more...]
