The inspiration for the blog title

Pulitzer Prize winning writer Rick Bragg wrote this feature for Gourmet Live and I immediately identified with it.

According to the story, there are two types of people in the world, mayo people and mustard people.  Through a complex combination of nature and nurture, I am at my core, a mayo person.  Healthy eating and living does not come naturally for me.  If I could eat a Raising Cane's chicken finger box every single day and sit in a  recliner and watch sports all the time and still feel and look great, I probably would.  However, I like to look cute and I would prefer not to die of a heart attack before I see my grandchildren, so I need to embrace the mustard lifestyle as much as I can.

The fact that the first link I posted on a running and fitness blog is to a feature on Gourmet Live pretty much sums it all up.
