When temps heat up, I reach for simple recipes that don’t require too much cooking. My go-to’s are often basil or parsley pesto…but sometimes I find my kitchen low on herbs. Wha’s a cook to do?? Introducing Pesto Pantesco (a different kind of pesto)! This little-known pesto from Pantelleria uses the unopened flower buds of
Going all in on trying new things. Sometimes it’s easy…like going to a new restaurant. But often it’s quite challenging…like doing a full-scale makeover on your training plan! Some athletes fight this tooth & nail while others – like Phil Meyers – embrace it, integrate it & live it. I can’t say enough how proud
The cool thing about working with lots of different folks is that I get to see each individual progression. If you take 20 athletes, all 20 of them will have a different way of going about their improvement process. I think that’s pretty darn awesome! It means that there is no one right way. Rather there are many options for

Not the Reece’s kind that fill their peanut butter AND chocolate with sugar, dextrose & hydrogenated vegetable oil – blech – but the pure ingredient kind (I really like the Chocolove version). Then I had an idea. I bet I can make these little gems! And
Question: Who out there wants to get more fit?? I’m guessing that all y’all raised your hands!! It seems that no matter what our current level of fitness we always want more – more strength, more endurance, more leanness, more…more…more! In my book, the constant search for improvement is always a good thing. But our
If you’ve been following my last few posts, you know that I’ve outlined training plans to get ready for mtn biking (click here to read) & hiking (click here to read). Next up…prep for trail running! Trails present runners with a few additional challenges not found in flat pavement running…like unpredictable surfaces filled with random
This delish recipe came to life in the 1950’s in Tel Aviv. Traditionally a breakfast sandwich, it was named “sabich” after the Arabic word for “morning”. Observant Jews who followed the rule to not cook after sundown on Friday could prepare all components of this sandwich in advance, and then eat it before heading to
A few weeks ago, in Part 1 of 3, I outlined a plan to get trail-ready for mtn biking (click here to read it). Now it’s time to discuss hiking prep. Hiking prep?? Don’t you just go hiking…? Well, yes…that is one way to do it. But I’ll argue that focusing on a few additional fitness
