Stumptuous asks: Are triathletes healthy?
Stumptuous asks: Are triathletes healthy? …endurance exercise. How much is too much? There is accumulating evidence that while some is good — say, a nice half-hour’s run outside on a sunny day — running marathons may not be the brightest idea for the average person. The frequency of cardiac incidents (i.e. keeling over as the [...]
Z-Coil Testimonial- heal your Plantar Fasciitis
Its funny, because in 2004 I ran a marathon with no foot injuries or pain. But about a year later, I started working at a new place and wearing flat, non-cushioned work shoes. I walked several blocks on cement to a bus, then I walked on cement to the building I worked in, then I [...]
Do you like to read or do something else while you are working out?
I think it’s better to be mentally focused on working out when you work out. Doing something else to distract yourself from working out reminds me of taking vocabulary courses instead of reading books. When you do that, you are missing the experience of the activity, to get to the side effect. Of course, It [...]
Are these more Realistic Affirmations?
I just read a really interesting book called Awaken Your Strongest Self by Neil Fiore. It’s a little strange on first glance but I bought it based on the amazingness of his last book The Now Habit which is a highly lauded book about how to overcome procrastination. I read it before my last semester [...]

Illustration Friday: Tales and Legends
This is my first Illustration Friday in forevvverrr. You can categorize your art on the Illustration Friday site now. This is pretty much the definition of naive art. I used Scribbles. I used to use Windows Paint. Oh, my ultra low-tech tech paintings. Now I have a mac, so I tried out Scribbles. This is [...]
That darned ACLU
You give one charity $25 and before you know it, Anthony D. Romero from ACLU is writing you compelling donation letters. And you can say to the letter, “Look, I know I donated to you once, but I just quit my job and Christmas is coming up.” To which Anthony responds, “At the heart of [...]
B’s decisions and techniques for happy and healthy exercise and eating
* Eat whatever I want to whenever I want to. * Don’t eat anything I don’t want to. (I just discovered this one.) * Only exercise if I feel like exercising. * If I feel like moving, let myself move! (I just discovered this one!) These decisions are about noticing how I feel and completely [...]
What kind of trickster are you?
I Am Coyote Coyote is a fun-loving goofball and that fits you to a T. Playfully silly, you appear somewhat bumbling at times, and your goofy exterior sometimes makes people forget what a quick mind and razor wit hides behind that amiable grin. In the mythos of the Plains tribes, Coyote is also a Creator, [...]
