Send us Fan Mail This was a tough episode for me to do because of how the race turned out for me.  I had surgery for a torn meniscus, and I had not done the work of losing the weight for this race, so my knee decided not to cooperate this time around. A sad result, but I will come back next year and fight for redemption using the lessons I learned this year. But, it is a race that everyone should...

Send us Fan Mail This is the last beer we sampled at Bury Me Brewing in Fort Myers after the Cops and Joggers 5K, hosted by Fort Myers Police Department and Fort Myers Track Club.  😞 This is Soulless, a Scotch Ale, but it has a soul!  It is lighter than its red color lets on and has toffee and caramel notes without being sweet like a mead or barley wine.  It is 7.5% ABV, so I don’t know that I co...
