On Thursday evening Eric and I went to hear author Michael Pollan speak at the Unity Church of Boulder.

1. This way of eating requires FAR less mental energy compared to Zone eating. No weighing, measuring, or eyeballing Zone blocks when I go out to eat. No math. Eating [...]
I had the pleasure of being invited to Flatirons CrossFit to teach my running clinic. As I said to Tim, owner of Flatirons CrossFit, each of his athletes made a tremendous transition to the basic concepts of efficient running.
