Something has to give

It would seem that I have been neglecting my blog - more than a month without a post. This doesn't mean that I haven't been writing, quite to the contrary I have had the pleasure of writing for a much larger audience than this humble blog would ever likely see.

In October 2012 I was contacted and asked if I would write reviews of the various obstacle races I was attending for Obstacle Racing Magazine (www.obstacleracing.com.au). Since then I have been focused on writing those reviews, sorting photographs and editing footage taken during my running of the events and turning all of the raw material into content for the first issue of the magazine and the website and Facebook page (facebook.com/obstacleracemag).

On top of The Stampede, Hidden Warrior and The Warrior Challenge: Viking reviews I was given the honor of writing a feature article entitled "Fitness and Weight Loss: Using OCR to get your groove back" in which I combined the weight loss stories of a mother of two from Connecticut and my own into an introduction to getting into Obstacle Racing.

All of these articles, with the exception of the as yet unpublished Warrior Challenge: Viking review can be found on the Obstacle Racing Magazine website within the free online version of the first issue.

The videos that I am producing can be found on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/benquinney).

So there you have it, I may have been neglecting this blog, but it is for a good reason. At least I think it is a good reason.

I promise to be back soon - I will post something soon about the workouts I have been doing on my holidays. I have been doing my best to break this body of mine - but it is still holding together.
