Row Daily, Breathe Deeper, Live Better is a book about slow rowing for a better life for life: According to D.P. Ordway, our not doing anything physical is as much of a shock to our physiological and neurological systems as is running, cycling, and doing CrossFit; however, it's the wrong sort of shock. D.P. believes that we all should have a baseline of activity every single day and that should be at least 45-minutes every single day on a Concept2 Indoor Rower. I thought that was my idea but it's not!

My first impressions of the new Mizuno Wave Sonic slow jogging shoes: OK, the new Mizuno Wave Sonic running shoes are made as racing flats and not as slow jogging shoes.

My favorite running shoe is still Saucony Jazz: No matter what I try I always fall back in love with my Saucony Jazz Original running shoes. That's not true, actually.

A very traditional potato latke / potato pancake recipe even your mother would love: My mom and I had a few traditions: lunchtime wine at the Olive Garden, margaritas at El Paso Café, a Beefeater gin on her birthday, a really nice medium Filet Mignon at Outback, and lunches at Jewish delis. We would always start with a plate of potato pancakes--latkes--with sour cream and apple sauce.

Do two solid 19:5 days make a trend?: I've been trying for years to get my IF (intermittent fast) 19:5 (nineteen-hours fasting per-day and five-hours for eating, per-day) sorted and it looks like I've finally convinced my actual self to actually do it. I know it's only for two days! But I've done a lot with two successful days in a row. And each day is a restricted 1,500 low carb day, too.
