I may have the gear and workout videos to make me look the part, but theyWe weren’t out of Anacostia before I realized that my fast was their cool-down and I was getting dropped like a Toni Morrison book in a Southern school district.
Plus, moving through this sports journalism world as an outsider has made me fiercely independent. So most acquaintances have been casual at best — or transactional, as I cringe to type.

There’s always a separation between the conductor and the caboose.— the three guys already chilling by the columns — I was the caboose, and it felt terrible.
At the summit of the next hill, all three were waiting — and yelling encouragement as I rode up.

But this ride taught me something that I had been trying to suppress for my previous 41 years: that it’s okay to show weakness.
