You're never too young to make fitness a lifelong concern. If you ever want to do some cross-training, you're welcome to swim with me as my guest at Stanford Masters Swimming -- that's pretty close to you. (There are a lot of triathletes there as well.) Do you have a goal time? Happy training! Roger Good for you Noah! You’re never too young to make fitness a lifelong concern.

Happy training!

The white flour tortillas that a typical burrito uses has about 350 calories of refined (BAD) carbs and about 10g of fat. The unrefined carbs in the whole wheat tortilla are much more nutritious for you and it will have less fat also. If the thought of a whole wheat tortilla sounds gross, it really isn't at all . After a couple times ordering it, you won't even notice the difference. If your local favorite taqueria offers it, get a whole wheat tortilla.

Here's some stuff that took me awhile to learn... 1.) Go heavy on the veggies and grains. They both combine with just a little leftover meat to make a great soup. Cook for yourself instead of eating out or grabbing pre-prepared foods. 2.) Replace butter with olive oil. 3.) Calories and carbs aren't necessarily evil; grams of saturated fat are. 4.) Remove trans-fat and hydrogenated oils from your diet altogether. 5.) Think fiber. 6.) If you do blow your eating regimen, don't cheat in daily little bits and pieces. Pick one day of the week where you completely fall off the wagon. It satiates your cravings somewhat, and causes less fallout since the body can assimilate only so much fat in one day. Good luck. I started the battle-of-the-bulge around 1990, and although I've still got the upper hand over the enemy, the conflict still rages between the bottom of my rib cage and the top of my pelvis....

I would go for Heineken light next time:) I have been trying to drink wine and less alcohol in general to save the calories. One run for an hour is about 750 calories or something small. A beer is 120, normally on a night I will have 4-5 which totally negates my run. Anyways, what is your goal... What are you working towards? Colin you are awesome.

I have been inspired to get out and get active again! Heck, I even blew the dust of the Bowflex I bought as part of my New Year's resolution 2 years ago. I know I need to do something to get myself back in shape and I know I can do it. In an email to Noah, I mentioned my former glory of benching 415 lbs as well as the ripped abs... I still have a six pack gut, but the wrong kind of 6 pack. Hmmm, I guess Heineken doesn't help in slimming down. Too bad :) Thanks again! Hey Noah,

I started training for a marathon last winter-spring then had a pretty bad ankle injury. It's all about the shoes. I had my quarter life crisis at 20, I don't think I'll live past 80... maybe not past 35, could have been a mid-lifer. what type of running shoes do you have?
