the monday-meal: 10.24.11
As someone who grew up with the most authentic of homemade pizza recipes, this would be blasphemous in most settings. But remember, we’re shooting for healthy, tasty and quick meals that can be enjoyed (if not scarfed) on a day packed with training and daily commitments.

Pour cereal, add milk, mosh […]

Race Recount (less “reporting” here) for Big Kahnua: It’s a concept that conjures so many images, ranging from romantic to fun to inspiring. Rocky and Apollo digging out an all […]
Moved at 41 m.p.h. – and Not By Asphalt
As I tightened my grip, I stuck out my left knee while my right leg remained straight, opening my thigh to the road in front of me. Left oblique tightened, I drove my shoulder firmly forward, likely all of a quarter inch. The subtle degree of tension was crucial. This was body control. I’d been […]
