“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.” Since May of 2010, endurance running has been my focus.

It used to be that 40 was the real big milestone birthday. Since 40 is the new 30, or is it 50 is the new 30? I don’t know, you can change it all with surgery anyways, so who knows how old anyone really is? My point is, it has always been said that at… [Read more…]

You’d probably agree that humans are more highly evolved than crickets. Or maybe not when you look at how crickets are able to regrow their legs to be a perfect replica of the first pair & the closest thing we can do is grow skin to cover a cut or to hold our ever expanding… [Read more…]

I know that you know by now that going to the gym to do a set of machine leg press followed by a rest period where you sit & wait for the time to pass (how much time was supposed to pass again? 30 seconds? 60? when Oprah goes to commercial?) then do another set… [Read more…]

Did you ever notice lipstick commercials? They take very literal pictures to essentially prove to you that you are going to be a plump-lipped, long-color-lasting, sexy goddess with moisture-filled lips if you buy their lipstick. I saw one recently that had honey dripping off of a rose petal in one frame, a super close-up/expanded picture of the glittery shimmer in… [Read more…]

Thank you Nike for always having something motivational to say on the front of a t-shirt. I’d like to know who the person(s) are who find & come up with all these slogans. I’d be so disappointed if it was a bunch of fat guys who weren’t exercising & living this totally optimal life. I mean,… [Read more…]

Ok, so you’re back in town. You drank too many margaritas. You threw ‘hunger’ to the wind at your all-inclusive & ate at the buffet/human trough more times than you can remember, and you may have forgotten to workout “enough” on vacation. No this does not totally describe me right now. Not totally. Too many… [Read more…]
