Back to fitness

25 November, 2018 James ForemanFitness

I went swimming at a friend’s condo pool this morning, the first time I can remember swimming since I went to Seattle at the start of October. Predictably, it was hard; I managed six lengths[…]

Treats that aren’t television and other revelations

10 July, 2018 James ForemanFitness
