I finally got my feet into a pair of Atreyu running shoes: Ever since I first heard of Atreyu, from Kofuzi or Seth James DeMoor, I have been trying to get a pair on my size-13 medium feet. Until last week, no luck. They were always sold out. Now, I not only have a pair of Standard Issue Colorway #2 but I will get a replacement pair every two months until I ask them to pause or stop their unique $55/pair subscription service. Brilliant!

How amazing that I can click a button on my phone and be saved! In the image below, the light blue is my walking and the dark blue is the Ubering.

Sweet running loops from the PBC boathouse: When I worked at New Media Strategies back from 2002-2006, belonged to a gym in the building in Rosslyn and would pop out at night for a loop run in the evening.

My current (and latest) fitness and weightloss plan: Last week, I recommitted to intermittent fasting (IF) and even shook hands with my buddy Mike over it. Then, I met an Uber driver, Ralph, who had great success with Keto.
