What have you learned in your training this Fall?

When training it is always good to take a step back from time to time and see what you’ve learned, accomplished, and can do better going forward.  In the coming week I’ll be asking you to set goals.  Use today as a chance to reflect on the past few months or the past year and write down a couple of lessons you can take with you into the future.  Here is a link to a blog from Alex Black on what she’s learned from training with Type 1 Diabetes.

Rest Day 10/28: What’s your favorite Pumpkin food?

Rest Day 10/28:

The fall/Halloween season is in full swing and Pumpkins are all around.  Here’s a great post from Alex Black of Wicked Good Nutrition on why they’re so awesome!

Pumpkin Awesomeness

Here’s a great post from Alex Black of Wicked Good Nutrition on going Paleo!

Sometimes the hardest thing about going Paleo…

Is cooking awesome food. So try this Paleo chili…

It’s not that you can’t ever make and eat awesome Paleo food, it’s that you have to know how.

This time, I teamed up with a man who had a better recipe, and let me tell you, this was some of the BEST chili I have ever had. It’s not the typical “short, easy, fast” recipe I like to post. It takes about an hour of work and a few hours to simmer, but it’s well worth the wait. Give it a try, and share how you liked it. Or, if you think you have a better recipe, share that too!
