For the past six weeks Jay Fury has been kicking my ass for me in a gravel lot where I’m training for my next fight. Yes, it’s his “fight” name, but it seems like everyone calls him that. It’s a bit incongruous in light of his quick smile an...more

My foot slipped as I eased out of my car at 5:30 in the morning. It was a crisp, but pleasant, morning, not bad at all for a run. Only problem was, this wasn’t just a run; it was a speed workout. The warmup jog revealed patches of black ice and the outd...more
