Life is short, we must enjoy it and take care of that borrowed life. This has always been on my mind and I strongly believed in, but the recent unforeseen event in my life, has all the more strengthened this belief.
While I have been a perennial lazy bone when it comes to getting fit, I […]

From walking, that is. I have been talking about getting back into my old walking routine for the past few weeks, and it was briefly halted because of an upper arm injury, if you may even call it that, and my big toe bruised. It’s been a struggle since to get back on track, but […]
