Where I start a new workout plan

Hey everyone – it’s me! You know, that goofy guy who pretends to write every now & then! Well, I’m still around. Obviously, I’m not writing as much as I once did. Simply, other things have taken precedence in the hierarchy of priorities in my life. These days, if it’s not actively ensuring the welfare… Continue reading Where I start a new workout plan

Where I wonder where the time goes as I break out of a rut

Where I think about how I got here.

After 40 minutes of pedaling, I was a sweaty mess thinking “I can’t believe I used to do this all the time.” See, I haven’t been doing much in the way of cardio lately. Heck, I’ve barely been doing any cardio. But, it was a Monday, my legs were sore, I had over an hour… Continue reading Where I think about how I got here.
