Running Track
It takes a few minutes of lengthening your yoked limbs and joints to rev your engine enough for a good run around the winter track. You get no benefit from the daily weather in New England, and you lose nearly all motive. Lubricating my muscles, breathing in the dense air, I stretch more than I can stay alert for. My stamina feels lower than ever, and I push myself as little as possible at the start of the jog. Once I feel a bit of agility, I dance in and out of the lanes drawn with chalky paint.

Not this year. We didn't even rock the football shaped snack plates or green-turf garland with little dangling pigskins.

Why I Refuse to Talk About the Chiefs' Loss
If you've read my story Surviving "Killa City", you might know that as a Kansas City native, I am a big Chiefs fan. Which is why this year's Super Bowl definitely was a downer for me. So much so that I checked out right before half time (I didn't even watch the Halftime Show and that's saying something because I love watching the Halftime shows). After spending two quarters yelling at my TV and cussing out the referees for the constant flags against the Chiefs, I knew in order to keep my blood pressure at a normal level, it was best to remove myself from the carnage.
