Cuckoo for Coconuts!
Wrapping up “Nutrition month” on the blog, we’re going to talk about coconuts. When I learned I had high cholesterol last year, I did some research and spoke to people about how to turn that around. One of the more intriguing food options I encountered was the coconut. That, coupled with my lactose intolerance, forced […]

FollowBronzed Middle Ages
Racing through the Middle Ages…I mean my middle ages… First of all, I hope you are not upset at me blending the Bronze and Middle Ages together. I’m not trying to be historically confusing. But I’m middle-aged and well, more about the bronze… Saturday, I ran the Energy 5k as part of the Cornhusker State […]

A year ago, after being diagnosed with high cholesterol, my doctor told me to make changes to improve my lifestyle but didn’t specify exactly what those changes should be other than to be more active and to eat healthy. So I did some homework on a healthier lifestyle. A wise friend convinced me to start […]

If you give an ultra WOOKIE a COOKIE (wookies prefer chocolate chip), he’ll ask you for some blended almond milk/coconut milk (50/50) to wash down the cookie. Why? Because like me, this wookie named Chewbacca is lactose-intolerant. Think of the blend as the wookie equivalent of an Arnold Palmer. If you give him the almond/coconut […]

How do you beat the heat? Here are some easy tips: 1) Run EARLY or LATE (predawn or at dawn with a headlamp or at/after sunset with a headlamp); 2) Run OFTEN (break your day’s runs into two runs if you need to so you don’t bake in the sun); and 3) ADJUST your run […]

Happy National (international?) Running Day! Some of you may be asking “what is that?” Well, it’s a (recently designated) national running holiday (that means you run on the holiday as long as you are not injured) to celebrate the joys of running, to make your run fun. Just running as far as you can. See […]

As we approach summer, hydration becomes more important. How do you make sure you are properly hydrated? Remember, when heat and humidity increase, more water/liquids are generally required to keep dehydration and worse things at bay. But you don’t want to drink too much either (see chart). Aim for the middle. Here’s a chart that […]
