Today, we’re launching a new series that delves into a topic often whispered about, misunderstood, or overlooked: menopause. Whether you’re going through it, know someone who is, or think it’s decades away—this conversation is for you. Because menopause isn’t just a medical milestone. It’s a transformation. A reckoning. A rebirth. In this series, we’ll explore…

Speaking of livin’ long. Well, you now know that this episode is about Sarah Knauss, the third-longest-lived person ever. You may be aware that I previously published an episode about her, number 169, in 2019. If you’d like to check it out, you can visit RunningAFEVER.com/169, but you don’t have to, as I’ll recap what…

I haven’t been watching it lately, but I enjoy a YouTube show called That Pedal Show, which is ostensibly about guitar effects pedals but actually delves into a variety of music-related topics, including classic guitars, playing techniques, and genres of music. They often feature guest musicians representing various genres, as well as other guests who…

Recently, I started hearing about probiotics. How I heard about them was through some advertisements, probably on YouTube or Amazon Prime. A particular actress, Maggie Q, was promoting them. Maggie Q is known for playing the lead role in the action/spy TV series Nikita. She’s also currently playing LAPD detective Renee Ballard in the Amazon…

But what I’m here to talk about today is something I’ve just discovered. There is a company called TruDiagnostic offering what they call TruAge Test, which is a DNA testing kit and subsequent analysis providing several insights based on your DNA analysis.

It’s a beautiful day at Lake Fayetteville. I’m back at Lake Fayetteville for the first time in a while. I have been on the Spring Creek trails for a while. Half of that is still blocked off due to construction. It looks like the construction is coming to a close. It’s very strange. The episode…

If you’re watching on YouTube, you can see just how beautiful the view is right from my cabin that I just walked out of. Nice people. When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t planning to go hiking today. The story of that goes back a few days, when I got here, and even before…

Bench Road Trail today, again. Welcome to Running: A FEVER. Here we are, it’s the last day of April 2025, and we’re southbound on the Bench Road Trail from the parking area. I don’t know what they call the parking area. But it’s a parking area just south of the Bench Overlook, which is beautiful….

It’s about 7:40 in the morning. Tuesday, I believe it is April 9th, 2025. It’s a beautiful day here at Mt. Nebo State Park. I got in here yesterday between three and four as I usually do. They have a check-in time at four. So I’ve already encountered my first person on the trail. I…

I have just arrived at Mt. Nebo. This is my first day of my first trip to this state park in Arkansas for 2025, and possibly my last. I don’t know if I’ll be coming back this year. I will likely return at some point in the future. I thought this time, since I haven’t…
