Quit Being So Lazy And Just Do <em>Something</em>
In this week's episode of Recovering Fatass Soundtrack, watch a man go from clapping himself on the back for merely writing down a weak-ass running schedule to signing up for another race, in little over 2,000 words. Here's the Spotify list that gets you there. ...
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...
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....

The legend of Evan Gattis continues. ...
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.

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. ...
Quick, Everyone Notice That Mark Reynolds Leads The AL In Homers
With his 12th tater of the 2013 season, a guy named Mark Reynolds took over the lead in the American League in home runs. Mark Reynolds plays for the Cleveland Indians, which is why you can be forgiven for having no idea who Mark Reynolds is. But that doesn't bother Mark Reynolds....
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.

Tim Hudson Has More Home Runs Off Bryce Harper Than Vice Versa
Braves pitcher Tim Hudson came into tonight's game against the Nationals with two career home runs. Young Washington superstar Bryce Harper? 31. None of those were off Hudson, though, which puts the legendary Atlanta hurler one up on the Nats' wunderkind after this bizarre play....
