Perfect Trail Day
Sometimes the only reason I shave my legs is to make sure I’ve scraped all the dirt off. Today was one of those days. I woke up at 1:45. In the morning. To a notification that the newest episode of The GJBeat had been uploaded. So I hit play. Because I need to check his…

Strange Nighttime Runs
You know what makes the best runs? Cold. And dark. And creepy trees. All of my running friends can just stop it. I can hear you. It’s true. I hate being cold. Hate. It. But there’s magic in running in the cold, dark night. Stars shining clearly in the night sky. The eery quiet of…
