So I decided, as much as I need to rest, I may as well hit 120 miles for the month. That means I hit the grind for another 5 miles today<\/a>. Next month I really have to step back, I’m also going to postpone my long run by one week to give myself more rest.
\nWe’re closing in on the end of April, the first third of 2016 is already almost completely behind us! Can you believe it? Today is primary day in several states, including Connecticut. I have already submitted my absentee ballot because I #FeeltheBern. Some people I know are not, they are hung up on the gun issue, which is a big issue for me. But the problem is it’s the one thing I disagree with Bernie on, whereas I have disagreed with the other candidates on almost every single issue.

I think Bernie can also move the balance of power in Congress, and get things done.

It’s one thing to be able to read and write, it’s another thing to run off believing everything because it fits your worldview instead of being able to think critically about the information and if it is supported by the scientific method. If it’s not supported by science, there’s a good chance you’re looking at it wrong, or absolutely are looking at completely bad information.
\nBut be active, don’t be passive, we need to act, and not just talk:
