Well, here it is.  It’s 2015 and I’ve gone and created a blog.  Part of me is screaming “You idiot!” and part of me is screaming “Finally!”.  I’ve always been a bit shy and introverted however; I’ve found over the past several years that my inner-extrovert seems to shine through online.  Social media has allowed me to reconnect with friends and family, stay up to date with people who have moved far and near, and has given my hi-jinx an audience.  Turns out: I like it!

It’s been incredibly amazing to see the amount of support, well wishers, and cheerleaders I have in my life (and in others).  Perhaps more surprising has been the number of people who have told me that I’ve inspired them in some way.  I suppose when I break it down, it’s not that surprising.  Not a day goes by where I am not awed or inspired by someone I know to do better, strive for more, push harder, help someone, or try again.

My hope is that this blog will allow me a place to share the things in life I enjoy, the successes I have, the struggles I face, and the tips/tricks and cheats I’ve learned to help keep me sane through it all. A lot of it will be fitness centered, but there will be a whole lot of ‘life stuff’ too (you all know I have too many interests to limit it just to one). Besides, transference of learning is one of the greatest lessons I have (and continually) learned. I hope you enjoy and if you have any suggestions for topics, subjects, or events you want me to cover: please speak up!
