(Scott Jurek answering questions at Luke's Locker in Austin)
This past Sunday my traveling buddy
(Lester) and I headed up to Austin to meet Scott Jurek, who was in town for an
event. In addition to getting him to
sign my copy of his book, I wanted to ask him a few questions about a new line
of hydration packs Ultimate Direction has come out with. I had met Scott a couple times before, and
the one thing that strikes me about him is how unbelievably friendly and down
to earth he is. For a guy who won 7
straight Western States titles, he is very humble and eager to share his
knowledge with runners of all abilities.
After answering general questions, he signed books and took
pictures. Lester and I ran a few errands
while we were in Austin and ended up bumping into Scott at Whole Foods. Again, super nice guy.
While at Whole Foods I picked up a
spaghetti squash, something I had read about lately but never experienced
myself. I finally got around to cooking
it last night, and all I can say is “Why the heck have I not tried one until
now???” These things are amazingly easy
to cook, and the taste is great. They
make a great substitute for pasta (more on my nutritional overhaul in an
upcoming post) and pack a ton of nutrients.
Cooking these gems will definitely become part of my weekly
routine.
