Cooking over a campfire can be fun. There are the old standbys, like roasting potatoes in the coals of the fire while grilling chicken or burgers on the soot-covered grills provided by the campground. There are also S’mores and roasted hot dogs on a stick. Breakfast can be more fun; eggs cook easily in a skillet, if the chef can keep an eye out – just beware the flying cinders that speckle your sunny-side-up order! But once you’ve run through your old favorites, sometimes, eating something truly homemade can add an extra touch of extra-special to your al fresco dining. In that case, a Dutch oven can be a lifesaver. |

While no particular food or drink will make you run faster and jump higher, a well-balanced diet will aid in keeping your body in prime condition while training for a triathlon. Following a healthy meal plan will aid in building muscle and keep you wellhydrated while logging a lot of miles.
Hydration is key, especially while training in the humid 100-degree weather of the mid south. A rule of thumb to go by with extreme exercise is to hydrate with water unless exercising for more than an hour. If you are going for a long run or bike ride, especially if the weather is hot, drink a fluid that has electrolytes in it such as Gatorade or Powerade. Both of these drinks have lower calorie options for those who are watching their sugar intake. |

 Happy New Year! It is no mystery that January is the month that 99% of the U.S. population vows to lose weight. Gym memberships skyrocket. New joggers and bikers pop up on the sidewalks. This is all well and good; however there is one thing to keep in mind. What you eat has a lot more to do with decreasing the old waistline than pumping out a few miles on the treadmill. |
