About Me
I am a graduate student, an avid consumer of (mostly contemporary) fiction, movies, and reality television. I have become disenchanted with Men’s Health’s and its glib lifestyle advice. Maybe as a result, I have neither a six pack nor the ability to effortlessly give mind-blowing orgasms to anonymous females. I would have no idea if the 6 best foods for fat burning have changed in the past 12 months, but I really hope that Frank’s Red Hot and Chipotle Burrito Bols are on the list.
I grew up in the Rust Belt and once ran 9 whiskey-aided miles while carrying a stack of CDs and wearing jeans and an unzipped hoodie. However, I am not particularly extreme in anything other than my fondness for condiments. I enjoy challenging myself physically and yet also really like being seated on a comfortable couch in front of my glowing furniture. I am a long-standing member of the bovine herd of Americans that has an expensive gym membership and not much to show for it.
2009-2010 will be the last year for the foreseeable future in which I will have large blocks of free time to exercise or recover from exercise. I’ve run one marathon, a few halves, climbed some moderately sized mountains, excelled beyond all expectations at intramural sports, and generally eat good food in moderation.
I’ve decided to do CrossFit because it seems really hard and potentially transformative and because I’m naturally drawn to fitness regimes with passionate, culty communities.
Here we go…
