Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
I think Fark sums it up best – “Tentative NHL labor deal reached. Tens of fans overjoyed”. Good luck players and owners, you’ll need it after a year of showing everyone just how much you really cared about the game. I know I won’t spend a dime on tickets, parking, satellite packages, concession stands, or […]
Tonight marks day two in my quest to get back into the running form I had right before I started ultimate last summer, which effectively killed my running long distances (I got hurt in the first game of the year, and was injury prone for the following 6 months).
