I’m not sure what’s so different these days. Maybe I’m getting older. Perhaps I’m a bit less tolerant than I used to be to some of the issues that come along with running long distances. One of these issues is chafing. Chafing only seems to become an issue on my longer runs, probably those over … More Fighting the Chafe

The Lady and I have made our move to Minneapolis, and secured ourselves a dwelling in the suburb of St. Louis Park.

I know I have gone running in the rain several times since then, but for some reason, something new … More Lather, Rinse, and Repeat
