I could attribute my successful running career [I use this word loosely; Nike isn’t sponsoring these 8-minute miles or anything] to lots of things — a rigid sleep schedule, a largely whole-food diet, an innate fear of finishing last. But I believe my achievements in fitness these past few years were mostly guided by theContinue reading “Goodbye, Upper East Side”
I was raised in a strictly no video game household — at least, until the baby boy of the family asked for leniency — and I’ve mostly appreciated the fact that my childhood was spent in libraries and swingsets and pools instead of in front of a screen. Sure, I loved visiting my best friendContinue reading “AG6 Review, or Working Out in Marioland “
It’s late May, and that means lots of things are coming to an end. School years. NBA finals. Allergy season.

That shouldn’t come as a surprise — runners primarily fuel their training with carbs, and Whole30 is at its coreContinue reading “Whole30: A Runner’s Review”
My sister has taught me a lot of useful things in life: how to paper mache, where to hide Girl Scout cookies bought on the sly, which flavors of Lip Smackers taste good enough to eat (spoiler alert: all of them.) Two and a half years my senior, she went before me in all walksContinue reading “Spaghetti Squash: The Final Frontier”
