Man is the marketing around protein kicked into high gear. Consistently shocked by foods labeled as high protein versions of X, then you check the label it’s like a 1:20 g protein to calorie ratio or worse.

Look into kettlebell complexes. They’re basically exactly what you’re looking for but not boring like burpees.

I don't know a TON about it, but I do know that there is a clinic in our area that specializes in CRPS and does a lot of work with POTS / EDS. They have a pretty unconventional holistic approach from what i understand, but they have a lot of great testimonials, especially related to CRPS.

I like Gwynne's stuff. If I remember correctly, it took me a while to get into his world... and it seemed kind of straightforward and simple at first... then the characters and world started to develop and get more complicated and interesting as the books progressed.

SnoSeal is, basically, beeswax, I believe.
I just SnoSealed my Blundstones. I've always used it on any of my outdoor boots. For my "dressier" boots like my RedWing Iron Rangers, I usually just use mink oil for conditioning and protection.

Wilco, MMJ, the Avett Bros... all of their albums got shitty after a certain point, but they're all still great live.

When they released that Live album with Tennessee Fire, our family was on a pretty long road trip. That sparked me to have a major MMJ kick for the remainder of the trip.
By the end of the trip, my wife and kids had had enough. :lol:

Rode a quick lap after work (mtb) and managed to clean a rooty uphill section that I've never cleaned before. Also did 30 miles on greenway on my hardtail last Saturday.

re: Optimal recovery for an absolutely brutal calf massage?
Posted by hogfly on 1/23/25 at 5:02 am
OP’s routine sounds insane and non-productive, but almost every large cycling team (and many other sports as well) travels with “physio” who does a lot of massage along with other techniques to help with recovery. To completely dismiss efficacy of massage seems a little overboard.

Binged this in a single day (thank you snow storm).
I obviously really enjoyed it... but I about hit my limit with the female protagonist's idiocy with the little French girl.
That being said, it's pretty clear that's the point that her eyes are opened and she realizes what she needs to do in

Montezuma is a damned good time, but you definitely have to like laid back, hippie-ish vibes. Bohemian might be the best descriptor...
We went with our kids there for a few days when we went on a longer trip to CR, and it was definitely our favorite place(rest of the time was in north guanacaste)

That’s sort of the appeal for me. To increase my bike capacity, it feels like I need to spend way more time (2-4 hours) rising whereas I can knock out a good run and get my dopamine going in less than an hour with positive results for my riding when I’m having fun on the weekend.

For some reason, I decided to start running again at 51 years of age. I work out daily and am very active on the mountain bike. That being said, I weigh over 200 pounds.
I was really enjoying my runs and worked up to 4 miles at 10 minute pace. Decided to push it the other day for a 5k on strava

Our gotos for adding protein:
Siggi’s Skyr (Swedish yogurt). 15g protein per 110 calories per serving.
Nancy’s probiotic cottage cheese 14g protein per 80 calories per 1/2 cup. I use everything bagel seasoning to add a little extra flavor. It’s absolutely delicious compared to regular cottage c
