Read More ›I was not always a fast runner. I’ve gotten more competitive but it didn’t start out that way. For years and years I raced open marathons and triathlons as a very middle of the pack participant.

Read More ›When I saw the title “5 Quick Paleo Lunches” on the Livestrong site last week, I will admit I was a little fearful of what I might find. Paleo (ish) sandwiches with “bread”?
