I tried this the other night, and it was fantastic! But what really made the pizza was the chorizo sauce that I made. Since my blog is about triathlons, the recipe wouldn't really fit in there, but I bet you guys would like to know!

Run on soft trails. It's gentler on the body, and enhances the benefits of barefoot running. Plus, then you *really* feel like an animal.

Agreed. Low body fat and good genetics are going to do much for you than sit-ups.

@LucettaPacilus: I agree. Happily repping the fake Americans in the middle of real America (with tongue firmly in cheek).

She needs to stretch her biceps. She has that body-builder thing going, where her arms never fully extend. Work your triceps, HBC!

@labikina: Now I'm going to be scouring my brain, trying to determine if I can think of any Hollywood actresses who might serve as adequate soil-tillers . . .

This gets at one of the most frustrating aspects of this election. Two years ago, we had two candidates who weren't the typical Rep/Dem divide. They were different. They had big ideas. They were (sigh) "maverick-y."

I also missed that story the first time around. What a beautiful and enlightening piece.

I was down with it until the fourth one. That seems so very creepy. "You can do that?!" "Of course I can! I'm her mom!" And what's a seven-year-old doing with a "feed" anyway? Reminds me of the book _Feed_, which is entirely too invasive for my tastes (and I would say my tastes run towards pretty open when it comes to…

Eating more protein will help, but only up to a point. Plan on eating 1.5 - 2 g of protein per kg of body weight per day. On top of that, it'll take around 2500 extra calories per pound of weight you want to gain to put it on. Try to eat five-six meals per day, high-quality foods—vegetables, whole grains, lean…

I echo the support for Total Immersion. I coach swimming and triathlon workouts in Kansas (where almost no one grows up swimming), and I always recommend TI for athletes who are just learning how to swim, particularly the guys who try to muscle through the water.

Resistance training won't boost your cardiovascular fitness, but it will improve your metabolism by helping to increase your lean muscle mass (and lean mass takes more energy to maintain than fat).

The best beat for workout music depends on what you're doing. If you're running or biking on a standard bike, BPM should be between 88 and 100 BPM, because your optimal cadence/turnover is likely going to be between 88 and 100 RPM. If you're on a spinning cycle with a flywheel (which is weighted 35-40 lbs), you can…

Or Heidi Klum's short-lived music career. That was teeth-shatteringly bad.

Next up, "Playpuer," the Renaissance era gentleman's magazine. Reminds me of some early English pornographic works one of my undergrad professors referenced a few times . . . title was something about St. Anne's Convent, I believe.
