I have a confession: I have a disdain for coconut water. This is complicated because I know it offers one of the most complete solutions for hydration, especially for distance runners. In fact, it's been recommended to me by my doctor on multiple occasions as something superior to traditional sports drinks that are filled with... Continue Reading →
Week 3: Believe
Alright, I've got to go out on a limb and say that out of the 3 weeks of the Move Nourish Believe Challenge, Week 3 was by far my favorite.

AHH!
There's not a lot left to say other than that at this point. Except to maybe throw in one of these: Today one of the worst possible things for a blogger happened...my server went down. During a restore (which I do not totally understand), I lost all posts since January 6. That's a lot; a... Continue Reading →
