  Love when this bit of dance-pop fluff comes up in my running mixes. It's all happy and has a great tempo for my slo-mo running style.

• Kale without fail

  Nacho ordinary kale chips (see what I did there?).
  My first attempt at making kale chips was a disaster. I think I baked them too long and at too high a temperature, and they came out like a pile of late autumn leaves. They would have been more enjoyable [...]

  Every weekday morning, I help put together the webpage for Health News Florida, a nonprofit website that compiles health-related stories from around the state and also features original reporting.

  Tuesday morning, I was trolling for consumer stories and found this headline:

  Total rethink needed on dieting: scientists

  Weight-loss "miracles" have been peddled for-freaking-ever. The ad above is more than 100 years old.

  So is it any surprise that Monday's Dr. Oz Show had nearly a half-dozen groundbreakingamazeballswondersupermiracle supplements that he says will help you lose weight? After all, it's February and that means it's ratings sweeps [...]

  This one popped up in a Rock My Run mix -- Grrl Power. Reminds me of the '80s and Bananarama. (Yeah, I'm old; what's it to ya?)

  (I may or may not have owned some of the clothes in this video in college.)

• Tiny trail mix and other small victories

  See this?

   

  
  That's my new "go fuel." I call it Tiny Trail Mix because it's simply a tablespoon of raisins and a tablespoon of chopped walnuts. Around 70 calories, I eat this before I go running. I used to just run on an empty stomach but I was feeling [...]
