The Mix: Steel-cut oats cooked with powdered ginger and banana, topped with walnuts.
The Workout: We did a 12-mile hilly run from Lenape Lane to Skytop in the Mohonk Preserve. After a 1-mile warm-up, it was 3.5 miles of hard uphill tempo-pace climbing, 2 miles flat recovery, 4.5 miles strong downhill running, and a 1-mile easy cruise cool down.
In just one week we'll be kicking off our 2012 season on the island of Barbados! Many of the world's top triathletes will be traveling to the south Carribbean to collect valuable Olympic points in this draft-legal sprint race.
We’re not big on Valentine’s Day. The last time one of us ventured out à deux on the 14th, there was heart-shaped glitter on the table. It took a lot of willpower not to ask the sommelier for crayons.

Those who know me well, know that I tend to find an article of clothing and stick with it. I can come up with a long list of best-friend clothes - my first adult Gap jean shorts, last winter's yellow and grey Nike ski cap, and who could forget the red Patagonia vest? I tend to overwear clothes that were cute (the first time) to the point of friendly ridicule. 
Laurel and I were walking around the Village on one of those mild nights last week, looking for a place to get dessert, when we stumbled upon Victory Garden. We were lured into this little shop by their bright design and frozen yogurt machines.
