Greetings all, Welcome to September and the last quarter of 2018. Time flies, yadda, yadda, yadda. I’m a fan and user of the Apple Watch for fitness tracking and what Apple occasional does is create various badges and awards in its Activity tracking app to help users stay motivated to exercise.

Since it’s inception, and as of a month ago (specifically), I was determined NOT to purchase one, strictly because of it’s price […]

For many of you following me on Facebook and Twitter, you’ve seen my various status updates and tweets about my health and fitness training, especially in the areas of running and weight workouts. You also know, being the techie that I am, the ability to use […]
