The most common complaint is that their ankle turns over at any time without warning. All it takes is a slight bend in the pavement...

New York is different than the rest of the country in many ways, but one of the biggest differences is in fashion sensibilities. Even if they don't have a lot of money, people in New York believe in looking good. They were overcoats in the winter, colorful, flattering, light...

Understanding the IRM/MRP Analogy

We'd lifted weights together and put in some serious CV sessions but he could never resist mentioning his Tuesday night boxing class making sure I knew that he considered it the most fulfilling exercise he did. Why not I thought! I don't claim to be a tough guy...
