∞ The Awful Truth About Jogging
I’ve decided, at the age of thirty-two, to start running. Not as a result of a desire to be healthier or out of a competitive spirit; not ev…
Many of my feelings about organized running are expressed here (perhaps worded differently), but I’m glad she’s continuing on. If I ever run a marathon, it will most likely be out of spite as well.
Running friends, I still respect what you do though I do not understand why. I’ll even cheer you on, but I’ll probably just stick to rugby.

∞ Disparity Highlight or USA Missed Opportunity
Is compensation, or lack thereof, keeping the USA irrelevant on the international rugby stage?

Public speaking doesn’t scare me. Playing rugby and having a dude who easily out weighs me head hunting doesn’t scare me. Snakes don’t scare me. Driving on the “wrong” side of the road doesn’t scare me. There are a lot of things that don’t scare me.

∞ French vs. NZ in 2013
Being in New Zealand for the 2011 Rugby World Cup was surreal, to say the least. The hunger of the All Blacks was not the determination of 15 individuals, a team. It was the destiny of a nation. No greater stage could have been prepared, or more appropriate, for the dominance the world saw from the Kiwis. The All Blacks were destined to be victors.
With standout Dan Carter back, I think the French will have a tough time coming up in the win column more than once, in their three meetings, and may possibly be swept, come June of this year. It may not be a World Cup year, but the world will be watching. Especially, after NZ’s recent stumble to the men baring the red rose. I think they’ll bounce back just fine.
