Great links! I agree with too much cardio and think strength training is overlooked. That map is sad – but yay for Colorado, it always seems to move up last in percentages, albeit still not good numbers. The film looks interesting, its the first time I’ve heard about it…
Hey Mark,
Thanks for the link love and the music playlist!
All the Best,

Oh man. I bet the running community just hates that… They’re always very defensive about their hobby. And I think they have every right to keep running as much as they want to (I inted to keep doing triathlons). The problem is that we (runners and other endurance athletes) don’t want to give up our status as hyper-healthy individuals. Because we’re used to being able to eat whatever we want and still be the “healthiest” people in any room. Just another example of how our idea of “health” is messed up in this country.
And that map IS terrifying.
