Sickness, RKC, and Beast Tamer Challenge
Sickness claims the many, including myself, and may have told me to settle down even more than I was doing. Since I’ve had some downtime, which was quite depressing; it has lead me to come to interesting theories that I plan to test out. I will continue on with the Beast Challenge – starting slowly and using the Biofeedback approach populated by Frankie Faires again to reinvigorate my athletic/strength training.

I end with knowing that the journey is often shorter than one expects…and before I do it and do it right, I must think it, and think it well!
