Burnout – Part 1 – A Moment of Clarity
It’s the end of February. Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas I started to feel pretty crappy – mentally. If you’ve read any previous posts, it’s clear that depression is a pretty common passenger in my car on this road of life so I didn’t think...

A couple of weeks before Christmas I set a two week goal for myself. I didn’t post it until about one week before Christmas, but I had started out with the goals around mid-December. They included working out somewhat specifically during that time period, logging...
