Running And The Law: Your Left Brain Is Out To Get You

by Ryan McKeen
The brain has two hemispheres that are separate and don’t interconnect. The logical left brain does our business activities, trying to steer us into pleasure and away from discomfort.

As we accumulate stress, the [...]

Running And The Law: Rest Is Vital

by Ryan McKeen
“Stress + Rest = Improvement.” -@jeffgalloway
The pattern is constant. Run. Walk. Long run one day. Rest the next.
Rest is half the equation. Hard work is the other half.

2798th Place!!!

by Ryan McKeen
Here’s some gift ideas:
1 Non-Iron Shirts by Brooks Brothers. These shirts are in fact non-iron and totally awesome. The amount they save on dry cleaning is worth the price of the shirt. Plus they come in slim sizes.  Many of these shirts are great with or without ties.
