  I spent my lunch hour one day this week looking at gyms.  I am having to change gyms and so I have been shopping around.  I don’t really enjoy the gym.  I like what is does for me but I get no joy out of going.  Watching others working out yesterday reminded me of why. [...]

  No, not the golf tournament of course.  It was a last-minute decision to choose and run the race last Friday night.  I had just come off one of the highest mileage weeks I have ever run before and the week of the race was filled with tough training runs as well so I had no [...]
