In episode 38 I met with Tom and we talked about our goals and priorities. At the time I had set the specific goal of running two complete laps at Lake Fayetteville in a day. I wound up meeting the goal, adjusting for the fact that by November of 2018 I had decided that running…

In episode 37 I took advantage of a rainy day to start weight training which I continued to great success. So far this year I have rejoined my gym.

When I recorded the third episode of 2018, I was almost starving myself. Still taking it slow with the injury and getting back into the workout, so that’s good. But this time I actually give you what I ate for the day, 2 apples and a small salad. Not necessarily a bad day, but that…
