A couple months ago my wife and I watched Forks Over Knives on Netflix. I was warned beforehand that if I wanted to keep going out for dinner that I should not watch it, but after awhile we eventually did. I have to say that watching the movie does make you want to throw all …

I decided that it was time to upgrade to a new, properly fitted triathlon bike since making the commitment to pursue my dream of completing an Ironman. My current bike, a Cannondale R600, was around 10 years old and I constantly become sore in the neck and shoulders after riding it. If I was going …
