...trekked to The Matrix psyched to see Eric bust a move in person and secretly hopeful that I’d have the chance to do the Grind routine I’d dutifully learned at 13 alongside the very man whose video I rewound countless times. Once there, I be-bopped with my fellow marathoners while my eyes remained fixed on the door, awaiting Eric’s arrival. Would he be clad in Adidas pants? Shirt or no shirt? Bandana on head? As it turns out, Eric waltzed into The Matrix in a red hooded sweatshirt and baggy...
...four of us have chartered a driver and guide to take us cross-country from the capital, Ulan Bator, to the northwestern Lake Hovsgol in a Swiss Alpine--like region of reindeer herders near the Russian border. Though the trip is scheduled for two days, it takes four to grind over dried-out riverbeds and slog through mud bogs between hills that roll like waves and crest into craggy rock.

For that I am eternally grateful to you, Angie, Rachel, Liz, Ben, Ben, Kenyon, Vicky, Frances and James...
Sometime between ages 40 and 55, the activity of the chondrocytes starts slowing down and the cartilage takes longer and longer to replenish itself. As the cushion of cartilage grows progressively thinner, the bones begin to grind against one another. This is a normal consequence of aging, but aging isn't the only culprit. Something as simple as falling on an icy sidewalk or putting on some extra pounds can increase your risk of osteoarthritis. Anything that puts extra stress on the joints will wear out the cartilage that much faster...
