A little mid-week weights session
Getting back on the pulse is never easy, even if you have a predictable job and schedule (which I haven’t of late). It’s easy to get into the mindset that there’s no point getting back into the groove if you’ll inevitably be edged out of it again by something unforeseeable. I need to shift my…
