That photo above was taken while I was on vacation in Virgin Gorda in January 2025. The trip was amazing, and being able to unplug and relax by the ocean left plenty of time for deep thinking. Moments prior to taking that photo, I was thinking about all the great things in my life. I reflected on how happy I was with my family, friends, work, and community. The only thing I wasn't happy about was my level of physical fitness.

Exercise impacts so many things, from sleep to mood to longevity. I've decided to get more rigorous about it. I'll track my thoughts on what works and what doesn't here.
