Over the last couple of months, I've been doing a lot of recovery work. After getting my tendon messed up during the first race of the 777 project, I realized that I'm going to have to do a lot of active recovery in order to stay healthy while putting my body through hell. I'm not going to go into a full mobility routine prescription (don't worry, that's coming up soon), though I do want to share a very basic strength routine that I've been doing for ...

The 2 Bags I’ve Traveled Around The World With
I traveled A LOT in 2014. And these two bags have completely changed my travel experience. I used them extensively, both internationally and locally for when I'm in San Diego and Chicago. Both bags are on my list of 97 things, and I frequently (and enthusiastically) recommend them to anyone looking for a superior travel bag. These two guys have been with me on 4 continents now, a dozen countries and countless airports. My go-to traveling gear ...

Even the way people talk about "diets" or "cheat days" ...
The Worth It Rule
When trying to make a big change, a lot of people focus on all the things they'll have to restrict to achieve a goal.

I’ve noticed this more and more over the past couple years and I’ve started ...
Say Yes To More Adventure
I just got back from 10 days in the Seychelles on a round trip flight to the other side of the world for less than $500. It was the first pure fun trip I’ve gone on in a while and one of the best in recent memory (although it was exactly 12 time zones away and has left me quite thrown off as far as time zones are concerned). However, the beaches and the water made up for that (as you can see ...
