nickengvall So often as humans we make excuses waiting for the perfect time to go after our dreams and goals. I’m no different. I am an absolute pro at procrastinating. Whether it’s lacing up my running shoes and getting out for a run, choosing to eat something healthy, or just getting things done in my life … Read more
2-3 months ago my stepdad’s mother passed away. Two weeks ago, my dad’s father passed away. On Friday, my dad’s mother passed away. The last three grandparents I had, were all gone within a few months. They were the last of a generation in my immediate family, by blood and by marriage. The emotional roller … Read more
As the pandemic shut down Los Angeles in March of 2020, like most people, I was hit with all sorts of roadblocks to the path I was on.
For 2020, I set some ambitious goals. I wanted to start my own business. I wanted to wear a different pair of sneakers each day for an entire year without repeating and share it to my Twitter feed. I wanted to write a blog post every single day. I wanted to run 500 miles. The list goes on…

In some amazing news for prototype racing, IMSA and ACO sanctioning bodies will be working together to align their rulesets in a way that will make it so the top tier prototype sports cars in both programs will be able to run in both the ACO sanctioned races and the IMSA sanctioned races.
After I wrote about cycling through water yesterday, I did some digging into the design firm that created the experiential bike path in Belgium and discovered they also created the ‘Cycling Through Treetops’ experience in Belgium. It might be even more impressive. I can’t express how much I love seeing people push the boundaries of … Read more
Every once in a while, you see things that are so awesome, yet so simple, that you have to wonder how they never happened before. How come I never thought of cycling through water before today?
Writing a blog post every day is challenging, especially considering I am trying to keep a majority of my ‘sneaker’ writing on the Sneaker History site because if I wrote about sneakers every day here, it would feel like I was cheating. I haven’t quite kept to the ‘blog post per day’ schedule so far … Read more
