No time left for you

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Back in 7th grade my best friend and I were deep in the business of discovering girls. We dove into the social maelstrom that was the late 1960s lovefest with our eyes on being liked and liking back. Part of … Continue reading →

The important difference between “get through it” and “let’s do it”

Posted on January 15, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

So do yourself a favor. Before your workout do a review of your daily status in terms of relationships, work obligations and creative endeavors.

His reaction was swift then. He pulled out his running gear from the drawers and closet. He tossed on two pair of gloves and the balaclava used for really cold conditions. Laced up his shoes and lurched out the door into the cold night air. Perhaps he could run it off. Continue reading →

A little bit crazy and somewhat hobbled, but much the better for it

Posted on January 12, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

That’s the general feeling of southern Wisconsin, where engaging in sex indoors and out and getting a little crazy is actually an official state sport. In fact if there weren’t laws against public nudity, it is a fairly sure bet there would be Wisconsinites and Flatlanders humping like badgers on every level piece of land and farm fence from Beloit to Eagle River.

A shared run for the ages

Posted on January 3, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

We give it time so that time gives something back to us. We amuse ourselves watching the high school kids and other running groups share the trail with us. We marvel at how these endurance sports have grown into something men and women share together. It’s all good. Continue reading →

Why endurance athletes should be the greatest salespeople in the world.

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Christopher Cudworth
