I’ve gone on the record numerous times as saying that while I have mad respect for marathon runners, I, personally, have zero interest in running 26.2 mile road race. Seriously — I’ve never been tempted to even consider it. But that…
Cold and flu season is here, and it’s the worst, right? I’ve been battling this mostly annoying but also exhausting cough and drainage for a week now, and I’m missing the gym and my normal energy levels SO MUCH. via…
