The Brine | Issue 7 | 3 Lessons from the Last Decade
Ten years ago I was in a cast after severing my left ring finger with a chef knife. Thankfully, the digit was saved. What I learned the day it happened was to slow down. It’s amazing to look back on the past 10 years and see how much life and the world has changed. Little did I know what the past decade would hold, and … Continue reading The Brine | Issue 7 | 3 Lessons from the Last Decade

Being an extremely superstitious person, I’ve always felt if I made a purchase for my safety then it would trigger something bad to happen. It sounds dumb, but apparently I’m not alone in this.

The Brine | Volume 1 Issue 4 |Health & Wellness
“(Today) we are based on a disease model of medicine, not a wellness model.” – Dr. David Harmon, MD This quote echoed in my head this week after hearing it on the BibRave Podcast. So much so, I spent a good amount of time researching the topic, and talking about it with friends, running partners, and colleagues. Medical insurance is one of the biggest political … Continue reading The Brine | Volume 1 Issue 4 |Health & Wellness
The Brine | Volume 1 Issue 3
There have been a lot of social media posts this week of people saying they haven’t had the time to keep up with their training. It is one of the most inauthentic and laziest excuses out there. The truth is, if you really want something, you make the time for it. I have a full time job that takes up 45-50 hours, two kids 8 … Continue reading The Brine | Volume 1 Issue 3
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
My little princess wasn’t feeling well over the weekend, and she said “soup is the only thing that will make me better.” I figured it would be a perfect time to use the instant pot instead of the usual Dutch oven. Best part is it reduces the cooking time by 3 to 4 hours, and is still rich in flavor. Ingredients 1 whole chicken ~ … Continue reading Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
The Brine | Volume 1 Issue 2
It’s been a crazy week. Good thing is the NFL is back. Bad thing is there was a lot of beer and junk food consumed over the weekend. Made up for it on the road although I think Antonio Brown has still made more headlines in the past 10 days than I have miles. This is also the last semi-normal week until February because the … Continue reading The Brine | Volume 1 Issue 2
