Coming Back to Life My last post was nearly three weeks ago. Clearly, when it comes to discipline, this blog hasn't been a priority since I started teaching full-time again in September. Unfortunately, my priority level for health and fitness also dropped a few months after that. So I spent the winter months trying to … Continue reading Mantra Monday: Discipline Doesn’t Mean Going Full-Speed All The Time

Thoughts For Thursday: Absurd Responses to an Absurd World
C'est la vie, c'est la guerre, c'est la pomme de terre. (That's Life, That's war, That's a potato.) I know... It seems like there's a bit of a theme going the last couple of weeks since I started this whole boondoggle up again.
