The start of 2015 wasn’t too flash. I aggravated my hip flexor by...
This morning I laced up my runners and walked down the hallway to the gym of the private clinic that I am currently at. I stepped on the treadmill and ran 20 km. To put that in perspective I’ve been in hospital for just under four months and just...
