A Third Update on My Walk to Mordor
Share post:
Last spring I blogged about my plans to walk to Mordor, and I updated my progress at the end of August when I was a third of the way through with it. Now that I’ve reached the two-thirds mark, I thought it was time for another update! For anyone who needs a refresher or wasn’t following… Read More
What to Do If You Missed a Week of Working Out
Share post:
This post is going to be short and sweet. Not everything I write requires 1000+ words to explain. I’ve been getting so many ideas for posts from my search term analytics lately, and this week’s topic is one of them.

Signs of spring are popping up everywhere now here in Ontario. If you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed the photos I’ve been sharing there of our first flowers of the year.

A few days ago blogged about the four things I love about fitness culture. Today I’m going to be talking about three things I wish I could change about it.

With the weather gradually warming up here in Ontario, I’ve been spending more time thinking about fitness and fitness culture.
