The writing has been on the wall for a long time. Movement is life, life is movement. Many biological functions in your body are dependent on movement, especially your brain’s development and continual “tuning”. Your brain began developing in the womb, first, through your mother’s movement, then later, through your own. Movement physically changes your brain and enables it to function better. Why do you think movement, play, and restlessness are so inherent to children?
Candy striped chioga beets are an excellent source of potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, vitamin A, B and C – they also help purify the blood and prevent some cancers. Eating them raw gives them great texture when sliced thin and tossed with Central Coast Creamery’s Goat Gouda and Kumquats and Basil. This is a beautiful spring salad and a little goes a long way; it would also be a great side to roasted chicken.
During most of the week and on Saturdays, this group rides as the Slabtown Rollers. This dedicated bunch of cyclists help put on the annual Central Coast Classic and is a blue ribbon winner in the annual Pinedorado Parade. They also recently were instrumental in getting a bike rack in front of Cambria’s Chamber of Commerce and repairing the flagpole. But on Fridays, the group rides as Team Medicare. The Friday ride starts and ends at the Cambria Roasting Co. next to the Chamber.

San Luis Obispo is one of the best cities in the state to ride a bike and the county as a whole provides a multitude of trails and bike related activities.
The purpose of any workout is to “increase your fitness”, yet only one workout program has actually defined “fitness”. In CrossFit, fitness is “increased work capacity over broad times and modal domains”. This sounds complicated but its actually very simple. It basically means that you have the ability to do any task, for a variety of different times and at different weights. Not that you are the best at the tasks, but that you are physically prepared to do anything, whether its life, career, or sport related.

In 21st century America, planes are a fairly normal aspect of the daily grind. Most adults would say they’ve flown, but Chris Lee, general manager of Skydive Pismo Beach, would disagree. To him, that would be like saying you went for a swim without ever leaving the boat. In order to fly, you’ve got to jump.
If you’re looking for a marathon vacation, Paso Robles wine country is the place for you.
It’s the perfect mix of good scenery, good weather and local attractions. The Paso Robles Harvest Marathon is returning for its third year on Sunday, October 28th. It includes a 5k and half-marathon relay.
I ran the course the first two years. It is stunningly beautiful. The race starts out at Le Vigne Winery on the east side and begins a series of short hills to the halfway mark. Local volunteers from cheerleaders to girl scouts show up at the water stations to cheer you on.
