75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
CHANGE IS SCARY! Especially if you don't absolutely have to do it or if you're otherwise in a happy place. Let's face it even if everything is only good enough staying where you are right now definitely feels the most comfortable. The change can even be demonstrably and rationally the right choice but that doesn't... Continue Reading →
Usually I do a two week taper which puts me into that classic itchy with a B mode but this plan calls for only a one week taper since it is a bare minimum plan after all. I was down with the taper but walked one of the runs because I had fun walking stuff... Continue Reading →
