My goal this year is to run a marathon - thinking the Chicago marathon in October. Any races you suggest? @admin I’ve been sticking to half marathons and below for races (last one I participated in was the Big Sur Half a couple months back).

Our bodies need different things depending on our energy needs and activities. I find when I am dancing a lot I can munch way more without feeling or seeing a difference. When I wasn't as active, like during my travels, I had to rein in my appetite big time! Really hard when your body is used to expending a ton of energy for hours on end. I had to allow my mind and cravings catch up with my body. So you're a runner eh? Planning any marathons soon? absolutely Tom.

The more in run, the more carbs I will crave. So pasta and veggies are great when I run 40+ miles per week. I also consume wheatgrass and electrolytes like crazy. These make me feel incredible and also help with the energy levels when running. Sushi is also a huge player for me. I find that depending on my activity level, my nutritional needs will vary.

If we were to try and keep up with all the "recent studies" or listen to what new thing science is discovering is "good for us" or "bad for us", we'd be doing nothing but trying new fads and ignoring the most informational and most scientifically sound of them all: our own body! When I was 17 and started learning about fitness, I quickly discovered that for every argument or "true" statement in the industry, there was an equally compelling counter argument! (This goes for diet as well as fitness training.) My eventual solution was to figure out the unique way my body reacts to foods and workouts and use that as a guiding rule. And when I finally discovered that my body actually was <em>so unique</em>, it made me realize why there was such a huge disconnect in the fitness industry: everyone is trying to sell a magic pill, or a magic piece of information, that fits everyone. It's simply not possible! We have to listen attentively to our bodies and develop that mind-body connection. Only then will we be able to discover how to live in harmony with our mind, body, and nature. This is so true, Amber!
