I may not be an avid The Amazing Race viewer, but I’ve seen enough episodes to know that being on the show is a serious physical and mental challenge. You need endurance, patience, strength—and a whole lot of can-do ‘tude. And Ryan Danz and Abbie Ginsberg from season 21 were fan favorites, traversing over three continents, nine [...]

Rock On! A 90s Alternative Rock Workout Playlist
Truth be told, 90s alt rock probably isn’t the most, uhh, uplifting music in the world. But there’s something about it that really pumps me up. I guess it takes me back to being 16 and playing Weezer and Pearl Jam way too loud on my way to and from all my basketball and volleyball [...]

This year, I tried to prepare a bit better. I made sure [...]

But [...]
