So I’ve been kinda silent for a reason.

Posted on June 25, 2012 by

Tomorrow I’ll be lying in an MRI machine around 1PM having some imaging done of my tibia/fibula area. We’re ruling out a stress fracture. I’m not the least bit thrilled to be making this announcement, but it’s the truth. The … Continue reading →

I can run in below zero temps, snow, ice storms, rain, extreme heat and humidity and deal with it. Put me outside in any wind speed higher than 8 mph and I’m PEEVED as all get out. There isn’t any … Continue reading →

I am funkin out, dudes…

Posted on March 9, 2012 by

I have been one big giant CRAB these past 2 days and I can’t quite put my finger on it. I have some sneaky suspicions, but can’t say that’s for sure the case. I’ve been rather frustrated by how easy … Continue reading →
