"Max Stern" is a pseudonym composed from names in the family. But the other stuff is true. And my avatar, by Jawlensky, does kinda look like a younger me.

Rule #1:

Running without your Garmin produces no physiological benefit. You might as well sit in your armchair and eat cupcakes while watching professional darts on the telly.
