Nick Carter and Leonardo DiCaprio are basically twins

I’m sick of snow, I’m sick of having to wear a… View Post »
I am not a runner
I am not a runner. I don’t have a trophy rack full of race bibs and finisher’s medals. I am not a runner. I don’t have PRs or any discernible running technique. I go out there and pound the pavement. I am not a runner. I don’t have custom-fitted running shoes or fancy running clothes or athletic tape. I run in yoga pants and college hoodies. I am not a… View Post »
