It’s quiet except for the din of tires sluicing through rain puddles, the sound of the city going home to their husbands, their wives, to kitchens smelling of chicken pot pie and home spice, of muted TVs and Friday night anticipation. It wasn't very long ago. It could easily be me, walking past green windowed skyscrapers to meet my wife for dinner. We have a cat who kneads our laps constantly moving paws, we have an apartment with a view, promising jobs with edgy companies. We cook dinner and she watches her shows, I work furiously and hard and I know I'm cut out for something even more. We're still young and we talk about what's n... [More]

I'm Corey. Some of you may "know" me through Kristin and some of you are friends and some of you have landed here by googling random questions.  I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and some of the technology behind Aqufit, and why I'm thinking this site might be a pretty cool thing. I've specifically chosen fitness as the centrepiece to my work because it's helped me to overcome problems and help establish balance (or something close to it) in my life.
