About a week ago or so, I promised to start using the newsletter to break some exciting gossip, but in the time since, I have realized that I am not adequately positioned to hear about any gossip worth printing. After two years of staying inside and making elaborate soups, watching all of The Sopranos, and reading every article about aura cleansing that is available online, I have a social energy that can best be described as “raised by wolves.” I struggle to make smalltalk without asking my conversation partner, “What form has your recent existential crisis taken?” So, when I’m equipped to be in public in a substantive way again, I’ll be sure to get some gossip worth sharing, but not today. In the meantime, these wonderful Thrillist articles will have to suffice. From Italian islands that are well-kept secrets to 10 eco-friendly food brands to a resort that is offering free vacations to nurses to an expert’s opinions on choosing the right running shoes.

I once read a book about marathon runners who drank nothing but corn beer and ran barefoot, so my advice (as a non-podiatrist) is that the best way to go for a brisk run is to guzzle Bud Light and take off your shoes. In lieu of that completely uninformed advice, please read this article that has really good running shoe ideas, for every kind of foot under the sun.
