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
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.

Howdy folks,
I am going to be traveling out of town with the basketball team that I work with in attempt for them to make the sweet 16 in NCAA Division III basketball so I don't have time to finish next week's blog post just yet but I thought I'd give a little preview of what is to come.

The movie was titled Safe Haven and it's safe to say that it won't ever rival The Notebook in popularity.
