a little reminder for the new year. As a gym guy and veggie I am always asked how i can do this and be a veg. Also, food for thought, i know many people who have health diseases that come from lack of fiber.

Nutritional quality indices show plant-based diets are the healthiest, but do vegetarians and vegans reach the recommended daily intake of protein?

Why do we run? There have been a handful of runs around Nova Scotia this week. All of these running events make me think about this story from NPR. An interesting question; Are humans unique in the strive for self improvement?

For decades, the speed of racehorses and dogs has stagnated. But humans keep getting faster. On the 60th anniversary of the first time a human ran a mile in under 4 minutes, we ponder why.

Have you ever signed up for a challenge and learned something about yourself. So on May 3rd and 4th I completed the Eco Endurance Challenge with a team from Cape Breton Search and Rescue. 24 hours strait, day and night race over difficult terrain. The team got 1660 points and 2nd Place! I learned that with three amazing team mates who are top notch at navigation, some food, changes of socks and good weather, I can do almost anything.

What do you have planned for this weekend? At some point, I thought that this would be a good idea. Wish me and the rest of the team from Cape Breton Search and Rescue good luck at this 24 hour race! http://ecoendurancechallenge.ca/
