Next Level Blog

So, back in 2009, I wrote a post about how I wasn’t going to blog anymore about Tiger Woods. This post isn’t really about Tiger but he’s involved in the story behind it.

Last week I had a vivid reminder of why, when a health crisis or some other kind of major life setback occurs, you should never write yourself off. My primary form of exercise, head clearing and general sanity maintenance before MS was distance running.
