Nutrition Series

I just wanted to let you know about a new page on Gourmet Runner, called "Nutrition Series". This will be the quick way for you to find my posts that are about nutrition and health, as well as the posts where I share what I've learned about how much of various macronutrients we need (especially as it pertains to athletes). The regularly scheduled posts about bugs, caving, running, and candy will still be right here! So far, the articles you can find under that tab will include:

Could Sugar Really Be TOXIC?

Iron Women: Do You Get Enough?

How Much Protein Do We Need?

Much Ado About Fiber

How Much Water Do You Really Need?

Check them out if you haven't read them yet!

    I love pimping my blog with new stuff. The Nutrition Series is a good idea! I'll have to come back and read some more when I'm having late night carb/sugar cravings :)

    Will your house progress be the next tab??

    Good timing on this post - I was just tracking my eats today for the first time in a while and by lunch time I had already met my daily "allowance" for fiber. Nothing is different than usual as I typically eat a lot of fiber rich foods, just interesting to see what I get vs. what is suggested.

    Great nutrition posts. I will check them out - especially the one about how much water you need - I am always confused on that one.

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful...

Active Bands Review and Giveaway

Click this link at your own risk, but let it suffice to say that I have some wild hair. No, not a couple of curls. A wild, beastly tangle that is NOT allowed out on its own. Ever. So running is a challenge. A ponytail is a given...and then usually a bun. I tried a few different headbands in the past, but they all end up "sweating off" and either annoying me completely or just falling onto the floor. Enter Active Bands. I wish there was some kind of heavenly gate chimes or something to accompany this post. I feel that strongly. I know there are a few "running" bands specifically designed to keep your hair in place, and I can't speak for them all because I haven't tried them all, but of every one I have put to the test, Active Bands are the only ones that work. I read about them so much on blogs that I bought my own to try out several months ago. I purchased two, and then basically alternated them day in and day out. You probably recognize them (black and...

Aspaeris Shorts Giveaway!

A few week back I got my very own Aspaeris pivot shorts in the mail....just in time to enjoy a month free from running thanks to a foot injury. Great timing, right? Originally I thought I would tuck the bad boys away for a while and pull them back out when I started running again. If I'm honest, I put these shorts on the first time just because I needed clean shorts for spinning. Plus, I figured the longer length would help me to not start a fire thanks to my inner thighs rubbing together. Once I started wearing them for that, I realized how comfortable they were. Putting them on might require sumo squats, but once they're on? Worth the gymnastics routine it takes to squeeze you in: I won't tell you how often I wear these shorts in a week. Because I don't do laundry that often, and you guys might get suspicious. I will say that they often come in the shower with me and hang up to dry afterwards, so I'm not completely nasty.  Now that I have had a few runs ...
