A Birthday is the first day of another three hundred and sixty five day journey around the sun, so enjoy the trip.

These words have spurred me on for some reason…

I believe my Birthday would be a great day to begin this training log/diary/personal account. I aim to use this blog, not so much for technique or as a way of interacting with training partners I will meet, but for a much broader purpose. I will document how my training changes and challenges me mentally and physically, and helps me grow. The overarching aim being to better my life and improve on my shortcomings as an individual.

Sounds ambitious and over-the-top? 

Excellent!
