Hopefully you have noticed that for the past several weeks there have been no new posts to Randy Bird Sports Nutrition.  The reason for the long hiatus is that during those weeks I accepted a new position at the University of Virginia and my family and I moved 1000 miles to Charlottesville!  I am honored to have been chosen as the Director of Sports Nutrition for the Virginia Cavaliers and have enjoyed my first few weeks getting to know the athletes and staff.  Now that life is getting back to normal, I plan on getting this blog “up and running again” with regular posts and recipes.  Upcoming topics include:  creatine supplementation, NSAID use, guidelines in choosing cereals, and easy lunches.  If you have a burning question concerning a different nutrition topic, please feel free to send me an e-mail.
