My Strava profile is public for the sole reason that if someone clicks to it, I want them to see my PRs. That’s it. No other reason. If it was private, they couldn’t see my times. What’s the point of running if you’re not going to tell everyone...

As a business owner, I see the world through the lens of making money. Most businesses are not going out of their way to help customers. Sometimes they do, usually when they have too much inventory or can’t move a product. Then you’ll get a “deal.” Over time, I’ve...

My mom asked me this question yesterday and I don’t think she meant it to be profound. I was complaining, as usual, about the routineness of life. I had just gotten back from a physical with a doctor I see every couple years and felt like a test subject being...

I bought a Garmin watch about 2 weeks ago to use as a stop watch. I forgot that it came with features to manage sleep, steps, and identify stress levels to name a few. With no intention of using the features, it is impossible not to be curious about them. The first is...

My Costco post generated some buzz! I’m trying to act not-surprised. The comments are appreciated. I wanted to follow up to address two points. What do I mean when I say I’m “better” than Costco shoppers? Initially I thought this would be the...

For those living under a rock, Sabastian Sawe AND Yomif Kejelcha both broke 2 hours at the London Marathon on Sunday. The History The two hour mark is a mystical time, similar to the 4 minute mile, except that very few really thought it was doable. Geb ran 2:03:59 in...
