Yep. I'm doing that today. Voluntarily. I woke up at 5:00am when my alarm when off and made the call. Texted Rogue and went right on back to sleep. And now here I am resting and shit. Here's why. Y'all know how all of the social media networks went down Wednesday afternoon? And sent all … Continue reading Voluntary Rest Day

Accidental Two A Day
I had a plan when I woke up this morning. Leg Day with my Tiny Brazilian before work and Chakra Yoga with my Magical Yogess after. To get my hip sway back. Then off to be entertained by GJB. Because someone allowed him to emcee fireworks. Like, free styling words. In front of other people. … Continue reading Accidental Two A Day
Circle of Excellence
Last week, I was in the best shape of my life. This week, I have the lung capacity of a sedentary 80 year old lifetime smoker. Initially, I thought it was a recurrence of the Zombie Parasite that kept me from Iron Mountain last year. But I've been doing some research. And all symptoms point … Continue reading Circle of Excellence
Running Mill Mountain. Again.
I ran Mill Mountain three times in 10 hours this week. And then jumped straight into leg day. I didn’t even have to do that during the Blue Ridge Double. Pro tip: Don't spend the hour after leg day sleeping in your car. Because the car extrication process is going to be painful and graceless. … Continue reading Running Mill Mountain. Again.
One Hour Rest Day
I just spent the last two hours reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Really kind of enjoying the book. I've got a thing for post-apocalyptic fiction. Around page 63, I took a break. Went to update my progress in my Goodreads app. For the same reason I add my strength workouts to my Strava manually. … Continue reading One Hour Rest Day
The Gym Life Chose Me
"Stop whining. You chose this." "I didn't choose the gym life. The gym life chose me." And it chose the hell outta me this week. Because after my last post, after Beautiful Beastie worked my arms to the point of uselessness, Skratch and J-Vicious both dared me to go to Arm Day. So obviously I … Continue reading The Gym Life Chose Me
Our National Running Day
When my people celebrate National Running Day, we like to get started early. And mix things up. Because running requires strength on top of cardio. And this our holiday. We were going to celebrate the hell out of it. I can't remember exactly how the idea came about. These days it usually starts with Skratch … Continue reading Our National Running Day
Claw Hands
Yesterday morning my co-worker walked into the office carrying a big bowl of cherries. And announced, to me, that she is allergic to cherries. And that she would then commence eating them. All of them. Because they are her favorite. She followed that announcement up with the declaration that she never eats them alone. I … Continue reading Claw Hands
Please Revoke My Social Media Privileges
Someone should really revoke my social media privileges. You know how some people hide behind a computer screen posting horrible things to people? Things they would never say in real life? Like cowards? I know. Hate those people. Someone did that Monday night. On the social medias. They provoked the Muscular White Gut behind the … Continue reading Please Revoke My Social Media Privileges
I’m Just Here For The Hot Tub
I can't fully extend my arms. I keep trying to. Like, I keep practicing straightening them and then holding them straight for as long as I can before I let them bend again. This isn't something that a healthy forty-something should have to practice. Straight arms should be a pretty basic move at my age. … Continue reading I’m Just Here For The Hot Tub
