July 14th marked the 6 month anniversary of the joggling streak. That means for the last 180 plus days I've joggled at least 1 mile everyday (950 miles total during that time). People have asked how I keep going. So…
Ok, I'll admit it. Before working out, I almost never warm-up. Mostly because it's never seemed to matter. It just takes extra time and if there's no benefit, why do it? Well, I came across this research study looking at…
