On a recent night out with my bosses I brought up the subject that, after two years of mad working/travelling, I had started running again which is a very good sign that things in the business have calmed down and I can refocus some time on me.

Swimming - is it fun or a fat burner?
I’ve recently joined a gym with a swimming pool and after 2 days of hitting the gym, I decided to take today’s session in the pool.

Under desk 'walking pad' (treadmill)
Storytime!

I had active hobbies (still do), but also had active jobs. Fewer injuries as…
