75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
There’s something romantic almost about being a runner, well the idea of it at least. When we think about runners we imagine them to be ridiculously fit, motivated, dedicated and energetic people. That can be true for some runners at least some of the time but not always. Lots of people want to start running... Continue Reading →
Lots of opinion pieces have been written with the thesis that giving a medal to everyone is the genesis of a generation of entitled snowflakes.

They’ve become popular lately and there isn’t anything really, really wrong with them I think you might be doing yourself a disservice by participating. Run streaks have become more popular lately and I get it, especially if like me you post ALL... Continue Reading →
I wrote a little while ago about how lots of the things we call self care aren’t really.
