No, not together.  I went for a run one evening last week.  As I started down my street, I thought it was raining.  But it wasn’t.  I was being attacked by a swarm of bugs.  I thought I was safe once I got off my street, but my entire loop was infested with these tiny [...]

          Actually, life hasn’t been a beach for over two weeks. That’s when we were at the Jersey Shore (shut it now) to spend time with my mom’s cousins and enjoy the beach. Anyway, I had a whole post formed in my head over a week ago, but you know how [...]

Dude, running is hard.  Really hard.  As you may recall, I have bad knees.  More specifically, I was having a huge problem with my left knee last month.  And, you may recall that I’m not a great runner as it is.  My left knee has been feeling better, and I’ve been running decently.  Last weekend, [...]

How the eff did that happen? I mean, hello.  How’ve you been?  I’ve been doing well, thank you.  Except for having to deal with this for the last month: Can you guess what that is? That isn’t snow.  That’s pollen.  Pollen-covered grass.  Holy crap, that’s disgusting.  And it’s been wreaking havoc on me.  Seriously.  I’m [...]
