  • 5 Recommended Books for Healthy Summer Reading
    At the beginning of the year, I wrote a post called “On Turning Pro” where I laid out my plan to make some changes in my mindset — this after the roughest six months of my life, when anxiety issues came (seemingly) out of nowhere to render me pretty darn useless. Central to my plan: reading Read more » (...more)

  • 22 Ways to Take the Stress Out of Your First Triathlon
    It’s triathlon season! Shout it with me, people: IT’S TRIATHLON SEASON! I haven’t always been such an overeager pain in the ass about this sport. I used to be scared — really scared — before triathlon races. I knew what I was doing as a runner, but triathlon was just so … complicated. With running Read more » (...more)

  • My 12-Hour Race Report, and a 102-Mile Fastpacking Adventure
    Well, I’ve officially cleared the biggest hurdle on my path toward running a 100-miler (until race day, that is): a 50-mile training run. Actually, 52.7 miles. Last Saturday I ran the Black Mountain Monster, a 12-hour race around a 5K loop that comprises single-track trails, roads, and a few fields. I had hoped to cover Read more » (...more)

  • Are You Getting the Nutrients You Need from Your Plant-Based Diet?
    I make no secret of the fact that I'm a huge fan of author and blogger Tim Ferriss. His personality and approach are (apparently) polarizing, but his experimentalist attitude of questioning long-accepted (but untested) assumptions, testing them, and valuing the results over theory makes total sense to me. Tim’s work is fascinating. The 4-Hour (...more)

    Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death in the United States. About 795,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke each year. A stroke occurs when blood flow to a portion of the brain is interrupted, preventing oxygen and nutrients from reaching brain tissue; ischemic strokes, the most common type, are usually caused by a blood clot obstructing (...more)

  • PaleoVeganology

    100 posts in the feed.

    This blog focuses "on issues related to both veganism and paleontology, my two biggest passions; I live by one and am working towards a master's degree in the other. It may seem a strange combination, but hopefully you'll come to see otherwise by reading this humble blog. In my mind, both subjects converge in their connection to issues of climate change, evolution, human health, and H. sapiens' impact and place in the web of life. I think you'll find that using those two concepts -- veganism and paleontology -- as lenses can be the key to a wide range of interesting and vitally important subjects; hence, the title of this blog.
