26th April

So I’ve got some good news,  some better news, some exciting news and some amazing news.  Simply put, life is great!  

The good news for all of my readers is that things should be going back to normal shortly as I will finally be moving into my new apartment soon and will have TONS of my time freed up.

Seriously, if I tried to fit every aspect of training into one of my clients training programs their head would probably start to spin and they would start doing a backwards crawl up the stairs like in The Exorcist.  There is simply not enough time to get it all in and why would you want to?
