I don't know about you, but each summer I get sucked into American Ninja Warrior. Seeing people complete these crazy challenges is fun, and gets me pumped up for whatever workout I'm taking on next. I'm not sure I'm ready for anything even close to that, but the good news is that you don't have …

I've been trying to limit my grocery trips to once a week, and using what I have. My freezer is stocked with frozen prep meals and proteins at all times (I mean what would I cook if I got locked in my apartment for a week), so outside of not having exactly what I might …

Today everyone who qualified with less than 5 minutes between their time and qualifying minimum get to apply to run Boston in 2015. I cannot even fathom the amazingness of the people who earned the right to do that over the last couple of weeks. The thrill of submitting that entry, and the even bigger …
