Getting Started #56 – Perfectionism
It’s been a rough day at the end of a rough week. After slowly dying for the past two years, my trusty computer finally exhaled it’s final breath. Since a great deal of what I do takes place on the computer, this put me in a panic. I know this state well, as I’ve spent good portions of my adult life dealing with overwhelm, anxiety and panic.

How to Keep Yourself Running in the Winter
It’s that time of year again. Yes, THAT time of year. The time when the days are short, the afternoons dark and the temperature sinks well below the “it’s a nice day for a run” mark.

2nd Anniversary of Running Raw
It has been two years since I took the first running step towards this dream, and three years since I went 100% raw. What a long strange trip it’s been. It always amazes me how fast time passes, and that if you don’t keep your eye on the prize it is quickly out of reach. I have learned so much on this journey, and my education never stops.

VeganBodybuilding.com Featured Athlete
My buddy Robert Cheeke at VeganBodybuilding.com recently asked me to fill out a featured athlete profile for his site.
