On Sports Illustrated, Victoria’s Secret, tattoos and other not so secret displays of self

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

As a devout liberal and Progressive thinker, I’m all for people being and doing what they want with their bodies. Yet something in me recoils at the manufactured imagery of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. Or for that matter, the airbrushed models in … Continue reading →

What it means to really LOVE our running and riding

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

More than one person I know has made this similar observation about their love of running or cycling. “I don’t know what I’d do without it.” Of course (and unfortunately) we all typically do get to experience life without our favorite activities. Injury … Continue reading →

No time left for you

It’s just what they do up there. Continue reading →
