Inside The Oven: The protein bar love of my life. Week Links: More on macrobiotic diet.

Have you seen the latest New Balance commercials detailing runners’ relationships with running? If not, feel free to take a look. There’s a guy in various scenarios-at the park or in the bathtub and the voice over makes comments like:
