My brother Patrick, his wife Deanna and their three young sons live on a lake in New Hampshire, and the first weekend of the new year my son Liam and I will visit this winter wonderland for a celebration of health,

family and the outdoor life. Snowshoes are piled up by the glass door

overlooking the lake, and the boys’ skates and hockey sticks are in the garage

below, just a dozen yards or so from the rink-sized space Patrick and I have

cleared with the…

I needed a Christmas theme potluck item so I googled "Raw Christmas recipes" and found a super-easy raw dessert from the RawFoodsWitch.com website. I made one for everyone I've visited recently and loved the ooh's and ahh's I have received!

Oh, the holly jolly holidays...

a season to indulge in family, friends and food. Let’s face it, there are many traditional holiday eats that do not lend well to a plant-based whole food diet. Christmas is just around the corner, which means…

Hi everyone! I'm loving the book, Born to Run by Chris McDougall http://borntorun.org/. It's about ultra runners and barefoot running. I'm almost finished the book and eager to start training "barefoot" style with the Vivobarefoot shoes: http://www.terraplana.com/  I've run 2 half marathons and I'm thinking about doing another one but in the Vivobarefoot shoes. Has anyone out there run in these shoes? I'd also love…

What to do…where to go? Those are the thoughts that have been swirling around my mind. After a beautiful full week refresher in California, I have some what sorted out my approach to 2011. I’m not the type that likes to play the game of life by the books. I also am certainly not the sort to settle for meeting half-way or doing something without heart or passion. Hmmm, an interesting dilemma as triathlon has been my life for the last 3 years and I loved every minute…

It’s that time again - Christmas is days away and many of us are gearing up for that special family dinner…

So I renamed my bike the "ISOVEGA" and off I went this summer riding backand forth with no navigation or riding partners.

Cape to Boston was my warmer and back getting mileage to learn equipment and rode safety. My…
