I don’t know about you, but I am constantly on the go. It’s constantly a struggle in the modern world (though something I continue to be better at). Between real work, blogging, and kids, sometimes my nutrition is…less than ideal. It’s grabbing something quick (sometimes healthy, sometimes not) while I shuffle off to the next activity on the family schedule. HOLOS Organic Overnight Muesli seems like it was made for me.

Run Oregon loves running – that’s no surprise. But we also love the Pacific Northwest and all that it has to offer. Running is a part of us, but it does not fully define us. In our “Make a Day of It” feature, we aim to showcase some great local non-running events and highlight where to run and how to make the most of your experience! The most recent location for our runcation series is…
With the Oregon coast, being a quick drive from the majority of Oregon’s population centers, and so many amazing, rivers and lakes, it’s hard to compete with our state when it comes to seafood. So when we heard about Natural Catch which is firmly embedded with tuna, we knew we had to check it out. Read all our Test Kitchen Features here! Over the past few years, my relationship with meat has changed. That’s not…
If you’re an active person, you’re not only going to need sustenance. That not only comes from eating right, but you are also likely to need supplemental drink options to replace all that you are sweating out and repair your body correctly. There are about 1000 types of electrolyte and protein powders out there and it’s getting harder and harder to figure out which one is right for you. Gnarly Sports Nutrition gets that, and…
We recently took a Spring Break trip to Southern California to get in some Coachella Valley running. Honestly, we have been a bit tired of the cold and wet and needed some blue skies and a tiny bit of sun to keep us going. And we got it! PDX flies direct to Palm Springs, so it makes the trip nice and easy from the PNW. We had such a great time running, we thought we’d…
It’s usually around this time of year that I realize that my hydration is lacking. I think about water and fuel consumption when the weather is warmer, and less so when we are getting bombarded with rain the rest of the year. I know that’s horrible, and so maybe some new products from The Right Stuff hydration will bring me in line. If the name sounds familiar, you may be associating it with the famous 1983…
Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, know that I have a little bit of a “thing” for men’s underwear. In fact, there was a time where I was reviewing men’s underwear on a monthly (or even bi-weekly) basis for a bit. It’s been a while, but I am back with version 17 – featuring Crossfly. It sounds weird to say out loud, but I am back on an underwear…
Oregon, and more broadly the Pacific Northwest, is known as one of the most beautiful areas of the United States. For those of us lucky enough to live here — or even if you’re just visiting! — it doesn’t take much motivation to get outside and go on a run in nature. Portland gets a lot of the attention in our corner of the state, and that’s why we wanted to highlight some of our…
Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, know that I have a little bit of a “thing” for men’s underwear. In fact, there was a time where I was reviewing men’s underwear on a monthly (or even bi-weekly) basis for a bit. It’s been a while, but I am back with version 16 – featuring Lan Banks. It sounds weird to say out loud, but I am back on an…
We have recently received a lot of feedback regarding a recent run we posted on Instagram – Spring Valley State Park in West Salem. Running here is a great experience. The park is situated in the heart of the lush Willamette Valley and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The park is surrounded by towering Douglas firs, lush greenery, and is nestled along the banks of the mighty Willamette…
