Roundups

Two notes before getting started with this month’s posts:

1) I’m trying something a little different. I’m going to pick one topic to write about here, then offer more links with a quick intro to each after that. I’d love to hear what you think of this format.

2) Unrelated to this post, just a note about the summer blogging. I’m taking my own advice and keeping my priorities in order. I want to spend a lot of time with my family and, when you live in Wisconsin, you learn quickly to take advantage of the summer. So I’m going to go to an every other week schedule over the summer. Next week, I’ll post the usual ask me anything. Then I’ll take the following week off from blogging and so on through August. I’m not sure what that will mean for these monthly recaps but I’m sure there will be at least one over the next few months.

Ok, now on to this month’s topics.

Forget about RICE/PRICE, focus on PEACE & LOVERead More »

This month, I’d like to focus on three topics I came across that I found particularly interesting.

I’m a fan of foam rollers and have my thoughts based on personal experience on what they seem to do but what do they really do? How do they actually help?

How does a lack of sleep affect you? What can the differences between sleep patterns of people who live on opposite sides of time zones tell us about that?

What should you do to best take advantage of the benefits of caffeine on race day?

This month, I’m jumping around on topics a bit but that’s because I have three very interesting articles I want to discuss.

Exercise and anger, muscle memory, sugary drinksRead More »

Another month, another lot of reading. This month, I’m pulling from a variety of sources for a variety of types of topics.

Young phenoms, a good night’s sleep, perceived heatRead More »

A few weeks ago, an article was going around on sunscreen. On the chance you haven’t seen it, I thought it would be worth sharing here, as well as one other link on Vitamin D.

Also earlier this month, I wrote a post about nutrition, where I was especially harsh on restrictive diets. As I was writing that but a little too late to shoehorn it in, an article came up in my newsfeed that I felt was a good fit for that post. I’ll share it here as an end of month addendum.
