	Description:		Our chat with writer, professor and endurance athlete Susan Lacke. She's just released the new book "Life's too Short to Go So Fcking Slow," which examines her transformation from a junk-food loving, pack-a-day smoking new professor battling alcoholism to an athlete and writer for fitness magazines with the help of her hard-driving boss (who also became a great friend). Topics we covered include: Why the title of the book is not making fun of slow people What she thought of health and fitness nuts before getting hooked on endurance sports How a well-timed smoke break started a conversation and friendship that changed her life The influence of her notoriously hard-ass boss (Prof. Carlos Nunez) that pushed and encouraged her into increasingly challenging athletic pursuits The most enduring lessons she learned from Carlos as he was battling and dying from colon cancer How she began writing for magazines like Competitor* and Triathlete How her writing for Matt Frazier of No Meat Athlete led to a bet with Impossible HQ's Joel Runyon about whether a "paleo-vegetarian" diet was possible The race she would most like to do, and why she won't take the "easy" method to get there
