Curries are one of my favorite things to cook. They are generally a dump-it-in, let-it-cook sort of meal, they can be adapted to use up whatever’s leftover in your fridge…and they are downright tasty!! This curry is one of my go-to recipes. It’s a really solid main course which tastes even better the next day.
Sometimes I forget how long I’ve been coaching & working with people. Twenty-two years ago I started Performance High by offering part-time endurance coaching. Then, in 2011, I added adult swim lessons & group swim workouts. The group swim workouts are the hard one – they start at 5:30AM! Why get up at 5:30AM to swim? Community! That’s where April Howell
I have to admit that I LOVE a recipe that takes basic, perhaps even boring, ingredients & turns them into something amazing! Such is the case with rösti, what many Swiss consider to be their national dish. To be clear – this is NOT a potato pancake. Potato pancakes are made from raw potatoes whereas
A Week in My Life – Sunday, Feb. 5, 2023 For work, I coach one swim session. I know I said I have “work-free” weekends…I guess this technically isn’t true. However, this one swim session is one of my most enjoyable coaching sessions of the week! It’s relaxed, loose, mellow & fun! Is it technically
A Week in My Life – Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023 For work, NONE! Years ago, I made a commitment to work-free weekends. When you’re self-employed, it’s easy to make every day a workday.

Two weeks ago, I started my “A Week in My Life” series by posting up what a typical Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday look like for me in terms of: Training-work-life balance Daily nutrition Rest & recovery How I spend my free time I did this not so that you can compare your days to mine…but rather
Skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs are one of the most economical protein sources out there. Unfortunately though, folks often shy away from them because of the skin & bones! But…once you’ve worked with them & experienced the deliciousness that the skin & bones add to dishes…you’ll look for ways to use them! Here’s a fabulous recipe
My weeks are VERY varied – both for work & workout schedules. Currently I’m currently training for three events: the 13-mi run of Ironman 70.3 Oregon in July, the 41-mi Timberline Trail hike over Labor Day & riding the 34-mi Whole Enchilada Trail in Sept. As a general rule I try to keep bedtime &
A Week in My Life – Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023 For work, Wednesdays are a combo of in-person appts & computer work. I often take this day as a Rest Day because Tues’ are when I do my longer run. But, since I made yesterday a Rest Day, I was ready to exercise…and my Oura
A Week in My Life – Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023 For work, Tuesdays are a long day – I start at 5:30AM & finish at 6:00PM. Thank goodness I have a partner who’s willing to cook dinner for me!! Whew…! Normally I like to do my long interval run on Tuesdays. But, despite my decent
