This year’s been busier than most others, and I’m more surprised than ever at how quickly it went by. After writing 7 of these in the past, I always think that I’ll run out of content for each year-end roundup, and I’m always sorely mistaken. I’ll take it as a good sign, as it tells me that there’s still a semblance of development that’s coming from embracing this craft.
I’ll be honest – it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to make a blog article that stays in keeping with my usual editorial vein. With that said, I waited it out.
Also, I’ve been nurturing a new distraction that I added as of last October: An Instagram account.
The culture of fitness comes with its extremes, and the “push it to the limit all day, every day” mentality and its cult following are slowly being pushed to the back seat in favor of a slightly more balanced, and all-inclusive approach to training – at least in the mainstream. I’m for this.
