Welcome to January. The month where the universe attempts to exploit our insecurities by promising it holds the (expensive) key to a healthier, happier and thinner us. Most proffer a quick-fix solution to goal achievement which, while not entirely ethical, actually makes some sense. Who wouldn’t, if given the choice between fast and easy or [...]
Ahhh People. Ive yammered at length about how Im just not a runner. Ive done it. Im not good at it. I get more of a runners GOOD BYE than a runners HIGH. Im a lover not a fighter. Im a walker not a runner. It fits my self-definition: soft of core, (at times) owied [...]
Back on this post a few of you asked for specifics on my 20 minute workout. It’s also a question I get pretty frequently by email. It seems you wanna know what, exactly, I do for my weights routine, how frequently I lift etc. You crazy. The thing is, ala the We dont [...]

I sit here gazing alternately at the whitewhite expanse of my unwritten post, back down at my pink toe-sneaker clad feet and I’m stuck. Ive got nothin’ You know that place where you’re so wholly, utterly, completely in LOVE you can think [...]
Many thanks to Heather for responding to my pleas for a post on foam rollers. This might sound over-the-top, but the foam roller is probably the single most influential piece of exercise equipment I have used so far (though my Vibram Five Fingers are challenging that position).

We’ve previously established there are innumerable things I’ll attempt in the name of coming up with a freakin blog post journalism. I’ve NIA’d I’ve awkwardly swung a kettlebell. Ive competed in bodybuilding. This time, [...]
subtitle: Oh, People, Ive been a bad bad running misfit. What I loved about the W series Walkman mp3 player: Drag and drop. Im a Luddite, People.
