75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Some people own more cars than the drivers in their house can physically drive at one time. Sometimes that’s a sports car, classic car, motorbike or even a supercar. I am one of those people well sort of, my second car is a pretty well used 10 year old Subaru that’s been previously wrecked (by... Continue Reading →
So that’s not a post I had on my list of ideas but it actually seems like a need that is coming up right now. I think we’re all using the term quarantine when what we really mean is social distancing. Whether people can go for a walk and where has been one of the... Continue Reading →
Things are pretty tough out there now. If you haven't lost your job, had a loved one get sick or have been missing your friends and family yet I'm sure you're still worried about it. This weekend I want you to think about human nature, the stuff we've been through as a planet before and... Continue Reading →

There is no reason to freak out but there is also no reason to dismiss the recommendations of public health agencies because you are young, fit, healthy or this probably won't hurt you even if you do get sick. If you don't have some sort of expertise in virology AND work for public health there's... Continue Reading →
We’re a shifty, shady bunch ya’ll. We are pretty much constantly lying about our runs, running and what it means to be a runner. Sure most of them are pretty harmless and often we’re mostly lying to ourselves. If you live with a runner you might already know about some of these lies already but... Continue Reading →
