Well, I've never formally written a review before let alone published one for people to read on a blog. The only reviewing I have done is given my opinion to others that would listen (or pretend to). However, I decided that this book was a great place to start. The quality of information and the way it was delivered has given me the motivation to make an attempt at writing this review. So...where do I begin?

Crock-pot Power

As a graduate student and an athletic trainer I spent a lot of time on the go and away from home. My hectic scheduling often interferes with studying, sleeping, girlfriend, and cooking food for myself. Thankfully I have come to love using my tiny single-serving crock-pot.

I remember growing up my mother would often cook roasts, turkey sandwich meat or Little Smokey's with this magical invention but I didn't have any gratitude for it back then. I didn't realize how easily a healthy and well-balanced meal could be prepared while gone at work all day long. A crock-pot has a huge benefit for anybody attempting to eat a whole-foods, paleoish, primal...whatever you want to call it diet with a crazy work schedule.

Here are three reasons why I love using this device to prepare supper.

Videos for Running Assessment, Correction and Form Drills.

I was perusing the internet today when I came across a couple of videos produced by Dr. Mark Cucuzzella. Dr. Cucuzzella is the director of the Natural Running Center, Professor of Family Medicine at West Virginia University and the owner of Two Rivers Treads in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Dr. Cucuzzella is a running guru that has been at the front of the natural running movement for many years now.  He also brought us this previously mentioned video that highlights the principles of natural running form.
Must see video for runners.
