“Flipping the bird” is a gesture I’ve used a time or two. Maybe you have as well? I’ve mostly used it in the car while driving I think, though sometimes I playfully flip off my husband. Yeah, we’re like that. Maybe it’s more just me though. I’m not sure he’s ever flipped me off? Sometimes [...]
I’m not sure this will be a recurring theme, but I’ve come across some stuff that’s too great not to be shared! Some are fitness-related, some aren’t.

I think it would be an INCREDIBLE accomplishment though. I’m not knocking the distance runners or those aspiring to be distance runners. In [...]
Does Valentine’s Day make you happy? Or bitter? Or maybe you just don’t care either way? I’m kinda “eh” about Valentine’s Day but I really dislike how commercialized it’s become – like many holidays. I saw a big Valentine’s teddy bear at a store for $40! What on earth would you do with it? I’m [...]
