Return of the April Detox

By ⋅ April 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With SXSW behind me and the Bronx Zoo 5K ahead of me again, I felt it was time to realign myself.

March was a long, busy month for me. Between work, social activities and activity commitments, my free time became minimal and life became strained for me. As such, I felt like I needed to make April a reactionary month for myself and take some time for myself and my health.
