2.  Boscia Luminizing Black Mask.  I’ve been battling dry, flaky skin this winter.  I started using this mask 2-3 times a week before bed, and it’s made a world of difference.

This jet-black, mineral-rich mask creates a unique peel-off effect that delivers powerful detoxifying, purifying, and brightening results. Made with a premier-quality clay, its deep-cleansing properties draw out dirt and oil. Other natural ingredients go to work exfoliating skin and refining pores. Powerful antioxidants shrink pores, firm skin, and reduce inflammation. Once dried, the mask strips away dead skin, impurities and excess oil to reveal immediate and visible results.

4.  Developing an Elite Marathoner.  My coach, Mark Hadley, wrote a really interesting post about training a child athlete (his daughter, Alana) and her path to becoming an elite runner.  Alana just won the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon at age 17.  He tracks her training from 6 years old to 17.
