Roots N Blues N BBQ Half-Marathon/10k Recap

September 28, 2012

Yay finally our weekend race recap! This was our first year running the annual half-marathon and 10k at the Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival.

Competing in CrossFit

September 10, 2012

Over the weekend, we participated in a contest at our gym to determine who our representative competition team will be this year. It was our first time doing any sort of competitive WODs and we had a blast — though it definitely wasn’t a walk in the park. The schedule for the day included 3 [...]

May 29, 2012

Over the weekend, our CrossFit Box undertook the brutal “Murph” workout. Just look at it! A 1 mile run, followed by 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, and 300 air squats? Insanity. And to top it off, just when your legs feel like rubber from the 300 air squats, you have to finish the workout with [...]

Reader question: Supplementing our Paleo lifestyle

May 10, 2012

We’ve received a few questions about supplements, and how we approach them while trying to maintain a Paleolithic approach to eating. A good and tough question to answer! Let’s start at the beginning. In a perfect world, Neil and I would love to get all of our nutrients from the foods we eat. In the [...]
