Living with celiac disease 8/25/10
Tracy Nichols had no idea she had the gene for celiac disease until last year. That’s when, at age 30, severe symptoms drove her to see her doctor. Although Nichols woke up feeling fine every morning, by the afternoon she had “horrible bloating” and by nighttime she couldn’t stand up straight. “I was familiar with …
Back to fitness! 8/25/10
The lazy days of summer are but a faint memory. Sunny days at the beach, backyard BBQ’s, junk food laden road trips, Sangria Saturday’s and S’more Sundays took priority over our regular pre-summer fitness routine. We entered summer a little thinner and met fall a wee bit heavier. Somewhere in between doing the happy-back-to-school-dance and packing lunches …

West Coast ideas at work on the mound 6/24/10
Pitchers are the workhorse of a girls’ fastpitch softball team. Good pitching means a good chance of winning.

The call of the kayak 6/24/10
Imagine you have the best seat in a 360-degree, 3-D, surround-sound theater. You’re watching a movie of otters playing tag at the river’s edge, a kingfisher plunging into a lake headfirst in hot pursuit of a fish dinner, and a loon staging a water ballet to lure you away from its mate and offspring—the little …
The wheels of fitness keep turning! 6/24/10
Warmer weather and gorgeous blue skies tempt us to forgo the gym and head outside. It’s hard to compete with a relaxing afternoon on the hammock or a day sunbathing at the beach. Thankfully, your fitness doesn’t have to take a back set during the summer months. Early mornings and cooler evenings are perfect for …
