After 10 years in the private sector and 25 as a teacher, the time has come. I am officially retired! I'm 54 and the possibilities are endless.

I keep getting asked what I am going to do. Well, Jess has another year to go and then we'd like to adventure around the world. However, in that gap year in between I plan on getting into the best shape of my life.

I'm very much looking forward to getting two-a-day training sessions in for both my resistance training and conditioning. What that will look like, I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that I'll take my time building up the volume slowly.

As I methodically roll into this next chapter of life and training I will keep updating the process in my log. This should be fun.
