You'll notice the 10 days without any activity. It's the 10 busiest days of work this year and there is a French exam final in there. I've been a little fatigued and not wanting to spread myself thin. However, the premise of the blog was to write when not training or to write about training. I've been slacking. I had much more planned for this entry, but I think I'll save it for the next one.
