Before we get to today's article, I want to thank everybody who read, watched and interacted with the content I produced this month, as well as the people who subscribed to the site during it. Running Back Respect Month was a random idea I came up with in December, and I've put an unhealthy (literally) amount of time and effort into this project over the last four months.
