Cooking with Chris: Almond Crusted Pork with Onions and Sweet Potatoes

Here is one of my go-to recipes which is easy to make and delicious. I grabbed the original off AllRecipes.com and adapted it to fit my nutritional needs. (for instance, the original recipe included cheese, so I just didn't include it, and instead of flour coating on the pork chops, I chopped up almonds)  If you're having a holiday party, it might be a good recipe to tinker with!

Running a Marathon: Powered by CrossFit

For those of you that remember, last year I ran a half marathon by doing no running other than in the WODs (Workout of the Day) at CrossFit King of Prussia. I ran 13.1 miles in just over 1 hour, 30 minutes for a pace of 7:00 min/mile. My end lesson was that if I did another long-ish run (13 miles or more), that I would get some long runs in beforehand to get the bottoms of my feet ready for the pounding. Little did I realize just how soon I would running a marathon.
