Cross training with Curb-Found Treasure!


So yesterday was my rest day.  Unfortunately I am finding that I really don’t like having days of no exercise.  Maybe it’s because I am staring at calories on my phone whenever I eat, or maybe it is simply knowing

100-Up (or what lots of barefoot/minimalists are now talking about after Christopher McDougall’s NY Times Article)

To many rest days makes for a rough beginning!


So, up this morning and out the door!  Granted, there were multiple pushes of the snooze button, but I headed out the door this morning none the less.  The humidity was so thick I felt like I was going to

Running in the Wee hours of the morning
