Guess what, ya’ll? I won a brand new shiny bicycle through the fabulous MizFit!!
I guess this means I should probably learn how to bike, huh?
But for serious, I will soon be kicking it around town on my bright yellow Fuji Crosstown 2.0 and couldn’t be happier. See, my former bike was stolen last summer and this was a Very Sad Day. Now I have no more excuses when it comes to my cross-training. And the money I’ll save on gas by biking to work can go to more important things — like shoes, feeding my kombucha habit, and stalking Minnesota Twins players* yoga classes.
Also worth checking out today:
- Every wondered what runners are good for (other than being a bit nutty and talking about our bodily functions too much)? Well, we’re good at being heroes. So there.
- I hate to admit it, but this article over at PickTheBrain challenged me to face some of my own thought patterns that I’m often reticent to acknowledge.
- Speaking of self-help and introspection, are you clinging to outdated notions about yourself that are holding you back?
- Cranky Fitness reveals how to feel (even more) uncool whilst exercising.
- This just in: Healthy eating can taste good! I am looking forward to trying these recipes (via Mark’s Daily Apple). Check out even more delicious recipes in our archives.
- Vanilla explores the intricacies of the mating rituals of runners. Hey there, baby. Nice form (ifyouknowwhatImean)!
This weekend I have a long run on the books (I’m up to 6 miles now). Here’s to hoping my legs don’t fall off. What awesomely fantastic and healthy things are you all doing this weekend?
*I tell ya … the administrative costs alone. Who knew these endeavors toward marrying into the MLB could be so fiscally demanding?

Im so excited for you (if by excited you mean I COULDNT WIN IT MYSELF SO I *GUESS* ILL BE HAPPY FOR THE WINNER which I do :))
love pick the brain.
the hardest for ME to learn was that I cant change other people (that and traits I oft deplore in others are really reflections of me in THEM. not a fun life lesson)
on a happier note I am a huge fan of marks recipes and the accompanying photos he’ll post.
must find out if those are clip art or pics of his finished products.
if it’s the latter then Im depressed.
smart, interesting, funny AND a better cook than I?!
