I have an idea. I don’t know if it’s a feasible idea or even a necessary idea, but I figured I’d do a little spitballing here, see what people thought.

Well, I did it, kids – I signed up for a new gym. It’s a little farther from home than I’d like, but it could hardly be any cheaper, so… call it a wash? I’ve only joined so far, though – no uses yet, since the weather was cooperative last week. Dare I suggest that I’ve become an outdoor...

Hang on for a two-week workout recap! Sunday, July 2 | ran 7.29 miles outside in 1:20 Monday, July 3 | walked 2.13 miles...

You know that Runner’s World app thing where you can punch in the temperature, time of day, weather conditions, etc., and it’ll tell you what to wear? Well, I can’t use it. No matter what I do, it always seems to assume I want to feel the chill. 55 degrees out? Try shorts and a tech tee! 30 degrees? Eh,...

Well, that’s it guys. The gym – she is no more. Stupid lease-buying real estate developers and their stupid multi-family dwellings. STUPID. Sunday | ran 7.07 miles on the treadmill in 1:10 Remember the treadmill? Man, that was nice to have. Monday | ran 5.52 miles outside in 60 minutes But time marches on. Circumstances change. We must adapt....
