Friday the 13th. (Insert horror music here.) Of all days to choose for our trial session for CrossFit, who was the dumb fool who scheduled such a nerve-wracking, lung-busting, sweat-inducing workout on the most ominous day of the year?!

- Out Running
You know how some of these running shops have this cool sign “Out Running” displayed on their doors when no staff is in sight. Well, I took the liberty to make my own for TBR. See above. (Yes, I still have a lot of time to design completely useless stuff for your entertainment.) You see, [...]
