Beat the Boredom: Running Book Club

I know the title of this post seems odd so I am just going to start by clarifying that no, I do not think you should start a running group where you read as you run.

Glee Recap "I Kissed a Girl"

Everyone's got election fever on this week's Glee, and we find out the results of both the student body and congressional race. Because of the political ad threatening to expose Santana, we watch her deal with her sexuality, and the support she gets (and doesn't get) from those around her.

Reasons to Run on a Track

While I'm an unabashed fan of the treadmill, when the seasons turns sunny I book it to my nearest park.

This year, my penchant for having a fitness buddy went to the next level: I helped start a fitness meet-up group. The name is pretty unoriginal — The Workout Club — but our methods are a little more rigid than just calling each other for the occasional fitness date. Each Read more
