  • Friday Inspiration: Desi Linden workout

    Here’s an oldie but a goodie. Desi Linden, when she was still Desi Davila, training for the 2012 Olympic trials by running 5 x 2 mile repeats at 5:15 per mile, in the winter, in Detroit. Check out her form. Its damn near perfect: Maybe I’ll try this work out. Though for me, the pace…

  • Some thoughts on the nature of blogging

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. If there is anything more boring than the navel gazing of a blogger, its meta-navel gazing about blogging from a blogger. Yet here I am, blogging about blogging. Why?

  • Friday Inspiration? Moved by the struggles of others

    The other night, bored during a six mile treadmill run, I started scrolling through so-called triathlon inspiration videos on youtube. I got mostly what you’d expect. Chris Lieto finishing Kona.

    Book Nerds: Richard Prince

    A series on interesting book collectors and readers. Richard Prince is among my favorite of contemporary artists. His Marlboro Man changed the way I thought about art and his autographed photos remain among the high points of New York clever school of art. Prince’s work is now amongst the most expensive by a living artist.…
