Cheater
Gaile left a handful of wine gums in a bowl on the table and I couldn’t help myself.

If you haven’t read “In Defense of Food” or “Omnivore’s Dilemma” by Michael Pollan yet I highly recommend you do. I also really enjoyed “A Place of My Own”. Anyways, check out this link to read some of Mr. Pollan’s articles if you want a taste of his writing style.

First Run of the Year →
The link shows the google-map route I took today on my run.
After the run I finished myself off with 100 abmat situps and some stretching.
Regarding the abmat: unless you have a GHD machine readily available I can’t recommend these things enough. Amazing what an extra 2” will do.

Challenge Accepted
Trevor over at Crossfit Vancouver came up to me today and said “You can’t walk away with all the money from the last challenge and not participate in this one”.
Last summer I entered a paleo challenge at the gym and in five weeks lost just over 30% of my subcutaneous bodyfat and about 25 pounds (243lb to 218lb) of bodyweight. This was enough for me to take first place in my...
