Junk Drawer

It’s a Recovery Week between big volume builds and I’m sitting here relaxing, pondering and surfing.

eDiscs from eLoad rock my socks. They taste like Sweet Tarts give you a boost when you need it AND are amusingly fizzy.

On My Back

So. Remember last week I was all gungho about being back in bizness? And I mentioned, ever so fleetingly, that my knee/hamstring was a bit sore after my run? Well guess what?!? It manifested into a full blown back outtage, the likes of which [...]
