On Tuesday, I called Ellie and asked her to stop on her way home to pick up a book that I heard about on NPR. She dutifully obliged, and that night I sat down to dive right in to Gretchen Reynolds's The First 20 Minutes: Surprising Science Reveals How We Can Exercise Better, Train Smarter, Live [...]

All I can really say is that those people are pretty ridiculous. The amount of physical strength they have is unbelievable. I can't imagine how many hours they must [...]
This past Friday was Bike to Work Day 2012. I found that out early Friday morning as I was getting ready for work while listening to NPR. Naturally I decided the only logical thing to do was bust out my bike and head off to work. The morning ride was pretty uneventful as it takes only [...]
This post comes from my lovely wife Ellie, enjoy! You know that saying, "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"? Well, I think we can apply that to running, too. Over my years of running on and off, I've collected a nice sample size of running outfits off of which I [...]
As some of you may know, a major title in the gaming world was released on May 15th. Diablo 3 was officially released, and the dreams of many reminiscent gamers of the good ol' days of hack-and-slash grind fests were realized.
