75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
What are the chances that everyone in your life is a lifter, runner, triathlete or cyclist? Not that high! Even if you get that lucky a lot of this is still going to apply to you, sorry. I can’t be the only one feeling guilty about my training out there from time to time at... Continue Reading →

Races are all fun right? I’d be a terrible critic for movies, food, races and pretty much everything else. For the most part I just like it all!
