Week 2 (16 to go) and some “lip service”

I’ve completed two weeks of marathon training.

I can feel my body adjusting already to easing back into the routine of running on a regular basis. Last week I “moved” for a total of 29 miles (of which 18 miles were running including finding myself on the highway and far from [...]

Eating…huh?

Confession: I don’t like to eat.

I know it sounds abrupt and general in terms of the concept of eating but for the most part I really don’t like to do it. Some days it’s so much of a chore (read: emotionally) that it’s easier for me to just have a smoothie [...]

Dear Richard Simmons

Dear Richard,

Words…

I’ve spent quite some time thinking about a word but [...]
