Reflections

Since the beginning of the new year I've had the time to reflect on the past few years and what has happened in my life the past few years. I must admit the 2006 and 2007 were not great years. Through adversity one becomes a stronger person. If that is the case I should be able lift a Buick. A brief summary of some of the things that occurred over those two years.

  1. 4 year relationship ended which resulted in the selling of our beautiful newly built home

  2. This also resulted in me moving back into the city (this sucked)

  3. In the fall my career came to a screeching halt as the company I worked for shut down my division

  4. Took contract job in Regina, Saskatchewan (this also sucked)

  5. Start of 2007 took a temporary position with another company

  6. This came to an end in October but was quickly picked up by another company that I developed a software product a few years previously. Lesson - Don't burn bridges

  7. Diagnosed with heart arrhythmia. Had an ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) planted in my chest as a precaution

In summary the road has been challenging but I continue to ramble on. My health is still good and continue to train with the same vigour. This blog will update you on my training and personal activities. Hopefully this will be insightful for all who read.
