Eating Raw Meat

Raw Fruit and nuts?-of course. Raw veggies? A little bland, but no problem. Raw eggs? Bland and gooey, but the risk of illness is very minimal and I’m getting used to them. Raw meat? That’s a whole other topic. I know that from a nutritional standpoint, it is the best way to eat meat. You [...]

Fear is a Virus- Let it Go!

I don’t know why, but I feel politically charged this very Thursday. Maybe it was the morning coffee talk with coworkers, or the email below, but today, I will offer up a change of pace from cycling jib jab and open myself up for some opinionated political ranting!
I received this from Graeme Street today via [...]

Miles of Dis-Comfort

I made the solo trek out to beautiful Comfort, Texas Firday night for a 52 mile marathon race Saturday morning. This race wasn’t originally on my to-do list, but after my two week hiatus from training, I figured it’d be a good way to jump start the race systems. I entered the race with a [...]

Practice what you preach-Caveman Diet time!

I’ve been slowly transitioning into this whole caveman diet thing. Fat, protein, nuts, and fruit intake are all up, while carbs are down. Last night, after a long ride, I was craving some good Texas BBQ, so I stopped by Iron Works and bought a half lb of chopped beef. I cooked up some green [...]

Back to a Sense of Normalcy

My training and workouts have taken a backseat to house remodeling the past two weeks. Monday night I finally finished all the interior work on my bedroom and last night began moving back in. This whole fiasco started when I decided to refinance the mortgage and the bank informed me that the house needed to [...]

More Caveman Dieting Discussion

Today’s mentality about dirt, germs and protecting kids from everything will be the cause of extinction of humans at some point in the future.
I found this nice excerpt from a letter to the editor of Mother Earth News. I thought it was a fitting way to end a well written letter expressing a mother’s concern [...]

Eat Like a Caveman

I was going to get into diet and nutrition on the Health Tip’s page a lot later down the line when time permitted, but I came across a blog entry that a certain close person published recently and I felt compelled to respond to it.  I should note that the title is not named so [...]

San Antonio Cross Weekend-Texas State Championships

After spending all day Friday cleaning and organizing the house, it was off to San Antonio Saturday morning for the Texas Age-Based Cyclocross championship. I expected competition to be tough since the likes of Fawley and the fastest guys in the state are in my age group (23-34). I didn’t think I had a realistic [...]

Crawfish Pasta, Burning Clock, Long Ride, and a New Year

To ring in the the new year for 2009, Colleen and I decided to join in the Austin First Night festivities near Auditorium shores and City Hall. We both decided that we were tired of the whole downtown bar thing and wanted to celebrate this new years eve differently. I would have a few beers [...]
