I recently answered some ques­tions for a pro­file on the Western Washington Paleo Enthusiasts group at meetup​.com. It seems to me that I ought to share them here too.

Are you familiar with Paleo Eating?

I have only recently become familiar with paleo-eating. I came to it from a carb restricted diet that helped me drop 35 lbs. I wanted to drop the weight to make running easier. I am still trying to decide if paleo-eating, as a response to the diet of the industrialized late twentieth food system, makes scientific and/or practical sense for me. Being mostly of Scandinavian descent and well able to tolerate dairy, I believe in the ability of a group or people to adapt to a variety of food sources. I remain uncertain on the subject of agriculture as the demon that I find in some paleo-eating sources. I do feel certain that the ideas behind paleo-eating are a great starting point. I’ve had enough of a focus on macronutrient percentages. I find it interesting that tracking macronutrients is easier with modern manufactured food that it is with real whole foods. Ever seen the fat, protein, carb breakdown on an apple or a pork chop? BTW, you can with wolfram|alpha.

What are your hopes while in this group?

I hope to meet other paleo-enthustiasts, to learn more about paleo-eating and other characteristics of those interested in food and a healthy lifestyle, and, perhaps, to make a friend or two, along the way.

If familiar, what’s your favorite paleo meal?

I am passionate about local, in season, whole foods, grown with care. I appreciate if those are as far from the modern industrialized food system as possible. Today, I think less in terms of a paleo-meal than I do in terms of ingredients. Spinach, eggs, nearly any animal muscle and some organs, fruits, nuts, all polluted with my non-paleo ingredient dairy. I would argue that dairy is perhaps one of our oldest agricultural products and thus more likely to be something we have adapted to already. But, I have no historical knowledge.

I recently answered some questions for a profile on the Seattle Greenlake Running Group at meetup.com. It seems to me that I ought to share them here too.

How long have you been running?

I have been running since I was a small child when I ran unconsciously for the joy of it. I ran cross-country and during soccer games in junior high school. Many miles passed beneath my feet as I ran with my dog as an escape for the chaos at home during my high school years. Many more miles were covered with the US Army in my 20s and 30s. There, in boots, with a pack, across the countryside, down dirt roads, down runways, over forested hills and across creek, stream, and river fords. Less in my 40s as ‘life’ got in the way. More in the decades to come.

What is the farthest you have ever run?

My longest is a half marathon (from Europe to Asia). I know, sounds further when I add (from Europe to Asia) doesn’t it. Still it was but 21.0975 kilometers or 13.1094 miles. I may have run further but not on a measured course. Most of my miles were not measured. I do like the modern equipment we can use to measure distance, elevation gain, heart rate, etc.

Are you a morning or evening runner?

I am a morning runner by general necessity. It is just easier for me to get a run into that part of the day most of the time. A run feels easier and I feel more alive while running in the evening.

Do you have any running goals?

I’d like to get to ultra distances and to run less on track or roads and more on trails.

Are you training for any races of events?

Nope.
