Today is an exciting day. I am kicking off my Half Marathon training today and I’m actually pretty excited. I have slightly modified a Hal Higdon training (because his 10k training I used worked really well!) to be a couple weeks longer, so I start out a little bit slower. I pretty much took last [...]

An old tradition at the blog was to introduce a new type of challenge each month. The idea was to challenge each other, and ourselves into being more active, submitting more workouts, and achieve greater things.

This post comes from 2 Fat Nerds contributor, Brooks. As I fill my cart with flaxseeds and vegan mayonnaise, I realize I am that person. My judgment of anyone who was not a strict omnivore, has come back to roost. I have always been a lackadaisical regarding my food. Until now, I’ve been an “Oh, [...]
