Be Iron Fit: Time-Efficient Training Secrets for Ultimate Fitness, by Don Fink I stumbled upon this book at the library while browsing for nothing in particular.

I joined the local gym last week. Initially I wasn’t going to join one but after some thought I realized that it was going to motivate me to work out more often. In all honesty, I’ve been slack with my weight training which is a bummer. I love weights. I used to love doing weights… Read More
Certain variables can make a run easier while others make it harder. Temperature and humidity are two variables that have a significant impact on the outcome of a run as I learnt last Sunday. The past three years have allowed me to run at mild to cold temperatures in Poland. Now that I’m back in… Read More
