Pikes Peek 10K Finish Time: 00:54:59

Just ran the Pike's Peek 10K Race this Sunday and here's the results. Not exactly an excellent time at 8:50 mins/mile average but it was my first 10K. I don't really have the body for distance running but I can see where the endurance aspect of the sport is addictive. Next year I would like to do an Olympic Triathlon (10K run + 1500m swim + 40km bike ride).

The more I look at this picture the more I think that my face is way to intense looking. The last 200m or so of this race was a steady decline and everyone in the pack surrounding me was taking their sweet time to get to the finish. Rather than go out like that I started booking it and nearly mulled over the lady just behind me whom I passed with avengence. At 6'2" 215lbs I might not be able to get up to speed as quick as those skinny kids but when I get the motor running everyone better WATCH OUT!….;-)

Kamut: A refreshing alternative to whole wheat or wheat bran

Ever get tired of those cardboard tasting wheat or bran flakes? Want a tasty whole grain cereal that is also good for and doesn't need sugar? You may wanna try kamut. Kamut (pronounced kah-moot) is a new grain being introduced in the united states recently that is naturally larger and sweeter than regular wheat. Arrowhead Mills even makes a Kamut Brekfast cereal (pictured below).

I tried this cereal myself and I have to say, "Yum!". It kind of reminds me of KIX brand cereal except a little more subtle. It has a pleasant texture and slightly sweet taste and the best part is that it is an extremely low-calorie food. Check it out next time you go grocery shopping. You may find more info on Kamut here.

Product Review: Hood Carb Countdown Fat-Free Milk

I'm not usually one to hype up the already over-sensationalized bevy of low carb products that are already out there BUT…this one might not be so bad. At just 45 calories per cup, 3g of sugar and 0g of fat this milk makes protein shakes palatable again. It also works as a substitute for non-fat milk in cooking recipes and unlike skim milk it doesn't taste like watered down penicillin.
