I hate being injured. HATE IT I tell you! It’s so damn annoying not to be able to workout effectively or do the things I want. Having been given a healthy strong body again, it’s a pain in the butt not to be able to use it. I had to drop out of the CrossFit [...]

Life Expectancy Update

12 April 2010

Nearly 3 years ago, I did a life expectancy calculation, based on how I’d changed after 6 months of Crossfit and the Zone Diet. My life expectancy jumped from 75 years to 85 years, which was pretty impressive. Anyway, I thought I’d repeat the test 3 years on and see what it is now. Here [...]
