Finding The Positive In Concrete Marked With Your Ass-Sweat
Summer is technically here and that means being outdoors is to be officially avoided if you are a large, sweaty person. It was another week of split time between the treadmill and trail running, but I'm preparing myself for the reality of a completely treadmill-based existence for the next three mo...
Drake Tries To Get Into Heat Locker Room, Is Coldly Turned Away
This is your moment, anti-Drake America. Look upon his wounded expression and understand that it won't get any better than this. Savor it....
Mike "Doc" Emrick's Passing Synonyms: A Daft Punk Mashup
We mentioned earlier this week that someone had tried to make a list of all Doc Emrick's synonyms for "pass it" used in the marathon opening game of the Stanley Cup Finals. Feeling that list was incomplete, I tracked down all 140 of them, then set them to Daft Punk....
Sometimes You Run The Dog; Sometimes You're The Dog Who Needs Running
My wife's butt is quickly pulling away. My dog's tail, though already small to begin with, looks like a peppercorn in the salad green of the forest. And I am hydroplaning through the muck of the trails. It is raining, I am running and I am hungover. Fuck....
Yasiel Puig Is The Inspiration Behind A New Grindcore Band
OK, so I'm not sure if you can really call these guys a band, as they have only released one 48-second song so far. Still, the members of Puig Destroyer are big fans of Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig, and they aren't afraid to express their appreciation of his skills as loudly and proudly as possible. ...
What If You Could Run Without Feeling Time Or Distance?
This week was a hybrid, both musically and running...ly. I ran outside and inside on the treadmill. I've also mashed up a couple playlists here because I've been making smaller playlists throughout the week instead of one long one like I had been while training for the half-marathon. This is because...
A Treadmill Is The Vestibule Of Hell: Recovering Fatass Soundtrack
This week was the kind of week that tests even the most capital-R of Runners' dedication to not being a total waste-of-life fatass: it rained a lot and when it wasn't raining it was hotter than Mrs. Reilly tongue-bathing some shrimp vindaloo. Here's a Spotify playlist that assisted in braving the el...
Back On The Pony: Recovering Fatass Soundtrack
I'm saying I got back on the pony because calling what I did "getting back on the horse" is an insult to horses. Anyway, there is a mini-playlist that we will get to for your enjoyment and then next week, I am back on the horse, for real. We don't need this turning into Relapsing Fatass Soundtrack. ...
Listen To The Evolution Of Rappers Referencing Alonzo Mourning
OK, so this is just brilliant, and I can't believe that nobody has thought to do this before. A rapper who goes by the name Young Braised created a track that contains every instance of former NBA star Alonzo Mourning getting name dropped in a rap song, running in chronological order from 1993-2012....
Photoshop Miguel Diving Into Other Ill-Advised Situations
Miguel made quite the splash when he landed on two innocent spectators at last night's Billboard Awards. In fact, several more people have heard of Miguel this morning than had last night! Nobody said increasing that Q score was going to be easy....
Miguel Delivered A Diving Leg Drop To Two Fans At The Billboard Awards

Sometimes You Have To Shit In A Dunkin' Donuts
It is done. I ran a half-marathon, front-to-back, without having to stop to walk. I did have to stop to shit, though. Here's a Spotify playlist that helped me through it. ...
It Is Race Day And I Am The Worst: Recovering Fatass Soundtrack
I screwed up big time. I skipped my final long run before the race and barely ran all week. I am a real bastard sometimes. What follows is the playlist I would have listened to, had I not been so characteristically lazy and good-for-nothing. Here's a Spotify version for you, if you are into sonic re...

OK, The NFL Draft Has Gone Too Far
This is currently happening outside Radio City Music Hall, where the NFL draft will be starting shortly. These guys are carrying stupid football hats in glass cases like each one of them is the fucking Hope Diamond, and that is just so stupid. Just look at them, smugly posing for photos and walking ...
