Sundays are quite the struggle for me. I want to get something done, but today I seemed programmed to rest. I slept past my alarm, I didn't work out very long, I didn't get much writing done. That's okay. It has to be okay

Took one week for a click to miss the “publish” button while I was rushing out. Or to miss the check. Something happened, and my daily_008 released out of sync with my cadence. One week. Who called it? I’m really kicking myself. It’s really hard to write

Hey man, you clicked on my email thread. I told you I was going to talk about running. I know you've probably heard it all from the runner in your life, but I did warn you. There's this sense about runners from people who don'

daily_002; the hardest day
I swear, something in the wind can hear me when I make a promise. I can feel it the minute I use the words "daily", "weekly", "monthly". Probably because they are icky, sticky, no good, very bad adverbs. I realized earlier this afternoon that

Yeah, yeah, we've heard this story before. Some creative-type comes out of the woods after a year and some change of complete radio silence, and swears up and down that they're going to do a daily __________; be it upload a vlog, or blog post (hi, kettle,
