So, several things happen when you return to RPM/CX class after a two week hiatus. First, K-Rob-D forgets math and says you’ve been missing for five weeks. Second, Beautiful Beastie brings you a gift bag. Containing a brand new pair of pants. And the bag of chips she had to carry for 35 miles on … Continue reading Hot Tub and Basketball

Needed: Training Master
So, I’ve got this Blue Ridge Double Marathon in April. Two and a half months away. The last time I ran it, it broke me pretty hard. And I spent months training for it. Like, at least three full months. Training. Because Tiny Brazilian made me. I’m not currently training. Because no one is making … Continue reading Needed: Training Master
Arch Tape
Can I use an intern to go warm up my car and drive it to the main entrance for me? No. Huh. Ok. Not sure why we even have interns... Then can one of you go warm up my car and drive it to the main entrance for me? No. But I’ll drive you to … Continue reading Arch Tape
It Gets Worse
Skratch sent that message yesterday afternoon. Before the 5 o’clock PlayFITStayFIT class. And let me tell you just how much bullshit that message was. “Collateral damage” Right. So, here’s how this shit went down. So we’re there. At the PlayFITStayFIT. Me. Skratch. Fall Risk also shows up. And I’m all happy. Because I’ve got these … Continue reading It Gets Worse
January Cures: Salt Cave
I’m supposed to be on my way to run my first race of the year right now. I’m not on my way. I’m still clinging to my coffee mug trying not to read the news. I don’t want to undo what last night’s salt cave experience did. We all agree, right? We just shouldn’t even … Continue reading January Cures: Salt Cave
My Next Tattoo
I’m supposed to meet Beautiful Beastie at 9 this morning. For December Endurance Day. Because we feel like that needs to be a thing now. Not we. They. She. Someone. Someone feels like that. It’s raining. I’ve got coffee. And a bed. And my body is still grumbling about yesterday. So I feel like I … Continue reading My Next Tattoo
Here’s How The Force Works
Does this look like an issue? Like something I should report to some disease control agency or something? Measles? Think it’s measles? What does dengue fever look like? “Stop being a little bitch and put some Neosporin on it.” I have very supportive friendships... So I have this theory. That the universe requires balance. Like, … Continue reading Here’s How The Force Works
Missing My Life’s Purpose
I’ve got to stop sitting in movie theaters after running. So, you remember high school English? When they taught you about foreshadowing? Yeah. So that message came from K-Rob-D. Sunday evening. It’s the first time in my life I actually get to take part in winter break. And not work other jobs straight through it. … Continue reading Missing My Life’s Purpose
Annual Star Wars Night
Midnight. That’s what time I got home last night. And maybe I spent the day grazing through the piles of food in my desk drawer. But I didn’t have an actual meal at any point during the day. And I didn’t eat when I got home from work. Because I haven’t been to the grocery … Continue reading Annual Star Wars Night
North Mountain Challenge Drama
Before I tell you this story, let me just say that I only had one cup of coffee before we ran the mountain this morning. Plus. North Fucking Mountain. Very little good ever happens there. For me. Also, I didn’t really wanna go. I could hear my phone ding with a new message while I … Continue reading North Mountain Challenge Drama
