quinoa rice pudding type recipe
Just found a recipe to share. Trying it modified with soy milk and less sugar. Figure it's better than traditional, nutrition wise, with the added protein and fiber... http://honestfare.com/quinoa-pudding/

what crazy mofos run in this weather?
So, I started indoors last spring. Got the courage to hit real terrain when the weather was perfect. Slacked off in the fall. I just hate cold and was not at all equipped, mostly having shorts.

I think this has a lot to do with most of my adult life having worked a night or afternoon shift. I have been, for the most part, on a day shift for over a year. But I have been noticing I have this sense of urgency to be active later at night most times. Are there any others out there that experience this? Does anyone…

Half way to 5K (!)
Wednesday - I will be completing week 4 of C25K. I am getting super hyped about my ability to perform a 5K within about a month's time. I want to sign up for a, or some fun 5Ks to see how/what I can do, where I stand, and grow my performance and have fun. Looking at maaaybe the color run in Chicago, but that is SO close.…

Hydration - what do you qualify?
Aside from straight up water, do you account other things into your water intake? I wouldn't consider coffee of course, because it dehydrates you. Or even a cola because of all of the fluids required to remove/process the excess ingredients from your system. But what about an unsweetened black tea, with a bit less…
