High workout: A 22 mile bike ride with my brother Kevin and my dad on Friday. As you all know, my dad is a bike fanatic and my brother has officially been sworn into the cult after moving to San Francisco. We spent a lot of the ride catching up and it was fun. Low [...] I hope you all had a wonderful holiday week(end). Mine was filled with food, family, crazy dogs and lots of driving. We drove to and from Rochester, and also a side trip to Ithaca so my brother-in-law Tim could visit Cornell (he applied there early, send him good luck vibes!). In the [...] Last night marked the beginning of Passover, meaning I can’t eat anything leavened for the week (so no pasta, bread, anything with flour, etc).

I’m not a religious person, but I love the traditions: latkes, lighting the candles and of course gift-giving. source Confession: I had sushi for dinner tonight. But I plan on making challah on Sunday. I’m not celebrating with my family until next week, but it [...] There have been a lot of lists out there with recommendations for gift ideas for anyone who is active or tries to live a healthier lifestyle. These lists, and the fact that the holidays are literally right around the corner for me because Hanukkah starts this weekend, have got me putting together my own list.
