Altitude (scratch that), ATTITUDE Training

Jack Daniels once taught me a very important lesson that I will carry with me the rest of my life. Never take ten shots in a row after a ten mile run on an empty stomach. In all seriousness, that's not the Jack Daniels that I will be discussing here today. For those of you outside of the running world, the Jack Daniels I'm talking about is a well respected coach, physiologist, author, Olympian & family man. I had the pleasure of sharing many hours with Jack during my first few years ...

Why So Serious?

May 3 by Fasil Bizuneh

"Why so serious?", was one of the most memorable lines from The Dark Knight.

The Other Side is a book that tells the story of a relationship once good gone bad. It will be published with 2 covers in a flip book format. So once you reach the physical midpoint of the book, the text will appear inverted. Each chapter will contain the same conversations and differ only by the perspective of the male and female character's reaction and internal dialogue. It's a play on perspective with peeks into the lives and minds of the two main characters.
