It's ok to walk mile 4 so you can run mile 5. So if you need the break, take it. We'll be waiting for you when you jump back...

A lot of you are struggling and 2020 has thrown you substantial curve balls. You can't give up because often times your greatest success...

If I could hop in a Delorean and travel back in time (every one knows those are the best time machines) I would go back to when I was 18. I was much thinner but clueless about so many things.

Write out your 70 year old story. I've always run hard, but for a while I had no destination in mind. I wish I would have...

If you're not sure what to do next, you're not alone. Think about 2020: COVID-19, social unrest, masks, hazmat suits, killer hornets, locusts, and the threat of a Nickelback reunion tour (not true but would definitely fit in 2020).
