Empty. What’s it like to feel completely empty? I don’t mean a simple bonk. This was different. This was an emotionless depth to myself that I didn't know existed. After 70 hours of pushing my body past it’s breaking point, there was nothing there. No fear. No elation. No sense of accomplishment. I was just... Continue Reading →
Run Across Michigan (2/3)
Surprisingly, I was not too beaten down at the conclusion of day 1. Yes, I ate a whole family’s worth of calories that night, combined with multiple uses of the ice machine where we were staying. The worst part of day 2 was more so the mental aspect. After covering 75 miles, I wouldn’t hit... Continue Reading →

I’m a runner. I drink coffee. I have a problem. Orrrr, maybe it’s a solution? Either way, not going to stop. My morning would not be complete without copious amounts of that dark warming substance. Not all runs are the same. Neither are all caffeinated beverages. So, without further ado, I present you with an... Continue Reading →
Trading my Ford Focus for a Tesla
Hopefully you didn't think I actually bought a Tesla. First year Physical Therapy school. Lots of debt. Not happening. What’s the main difference between the two? (for non Elon Musk fanboys) A Ford Focus burns fuel like a Corunna native making a bonfire, while a Tesla runs smoothly for hours on basic electricity. Side note:... Continue Reading →
