Many now interests how correctly to eat. The number of the people dissatisfied with thefigure or health recently has increased and, as consequence, trying to get rid of excessweight. You should pick up a diet approaching you, and also learn to make correctlybalanced diet.

Good to hear you've had a positive experience with tea. Also, it's good to mention the health benefits of tea, particularly green tea.

Austin,

I am a huge fan of the TED Conference. On my list of things to do within the next 5 years is to attend a live TED Conference. Heard it is pretty expensive and pretty hard to get into, but I've got a feeling everything will work out.
First heard about your site after listening to your conversation on the Another Runner podcast. Congratulations on the marathon. Awesome. I am actually headed to San Francisco for work in a couple of weeks, and was hoping you could pass along some good running routes. I am staying downtown at the JW Marriott, and not too familiar with the city. I pretty much have 1 day all to myself, so if you have any suggestions on must see or do activities please let me know. Thanks and have a GREAT weekend,
Rich Scott

Austin! I just had to comment. We live in Napa, CA. I stumbled upon your blog while researching loose leaf tea. My huband owns an on-line loose leaf tea company. www.drinkthleaf.com . He is at the Napa Farmer's Market most Saturdays. Stop by and say hello. We are in the wine industry and I agree, there are many similarities between tea and wine. Best, Wife of a Tea Drinker

I like using a device called 'AquaJoe' with my hydration belt. it's a sports drink powder holder/dispenser for athletes. there is a video of it on www.aquajoe.com

Congrats on the run Austin. Your writing tells a story of passion and growth that would make your mother proud. I wish she were here to see what you are doing with your life... then again... I'm sure she's keeping an eye on you in her own special way.

Good job.

Dad

Hi Andy,

My pleasure! I´ve tried a few of the online tools and found Gyminee to be my favorite. Given how effective it is to share your goals & progress with others, I think the decision to incorporate social networking was a good call, and the execution is well done. Your team is rockin´and rollin´.

Thanks for the feedback invitation. I´ll take you up on it and forward any thoughts via email (will be within next few weeks when I return from Peru). I eat/sleep/breathe web stuff, so always happy to give feedback on anything that jumps out. Color me impressed that you took the time to respond to my blog post. I hope you and your team continues this kind of mentality as you grow. It´s appreciated when you know that a company cares and is truly user-centric.

Thanks for the good words on Blog design. It is a ¨premium¨ wordpress template that I purchased and made minor visual & code modifications.

Austin
