Crushing Iron in the Huffington Post

I wouldn’t call this totally legit, but it’s a start.  A few weeks ago I was contacted by Sarah Richards who was writing an article on how exercise can help you deal with grief.  It was a random connection, but as it turned out, I had just come back from a friend’s funeral, so the topic was brutally close to my heart.  Sarah’s line of questions drummed up a difficult run I’d experienced just after I heard about my friend’s passing and it really made me think.  Her excellent article, “Sweating Out The Sadness,” was posted in the Daily Burn, and now picked up by the Huffington Post.

Somewhere in my archives there is a half-written post about my friend, but it has been difficult to finish.  He was simply a great person and our connection was amplified because we were both athletes that followed our artistic muses later in life.  I hope to have that for you soon.  RIP, buddy.
