MARCH SPOTLIGHT

BETH STOMBAUGH   I have the pleasure of knowing Beth for a few years now; and getting to know her has blessed my life.  Beth is definitely a motivator, determined, has others best interest in mind.  She works hard and is absolutely not afraid to try challenging tasks/workouts/races etc.    Beth may trip and stumble when the road gets tough, but she always manages to dust herself off and keeps moving forward. Beth has in the past and currently organizes…

SPRING AROUND THE CORNER

With spring just around the corner it has me thinking about outside running, the sun on face, pavement under my kicks, that about to die feeling up the hills…hahaha. Boston …aka Jen Gallagher and I were discussing some possible races to enter.  After some thought, and the issue of everyone’s schedule, time, money, etc; we researched some virtual races.  Basically, we pick a race on a virtual run event site, the money you pay to enter goes to a…

FEBRUARY SPOTLIGHT….

FEBRUARY SPOTLIGHT JEN GALLAGHER   Jen has been training with me for two and a half years.  In that time I have been fortunate to have 1. Gained a friend and running partner. 2.  Watch our sons develop a great friendship 3. Watch her GROW in all aspects of her life. When you’re a personal trainer sometimes you end up creating more than just workouts for people. To me Jen has become a friend I know I can confide…

Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction Have you ever been with those close to you, the ones you may have known since you were child, and thought “wow, Betty is always negative” or “Bob sure is miserable all the time.”  Have you ever gone as far to ask them why they are this way only to get responses of negativity or everything always happens to me, my life sucks, can’t catch a break, etc.   Have you put yourself in their shoes for…

Lacking Confidence

Confidence   January 19, 2018   I finished my first book of 2018 today, “Ultimate Confidence” by Marisa Peer.  I must say it is a phenomenal book, one that I am sure I will read again. During my time reading this book I couldn’t help but to reflect back at how many people I know (including myself) lack some part of confidence in their lives.  It’s quite disheartening.  I kept asking myself “why”. Why does he/she not see their…

January Spotlight

January Spotlight KELLY CURRENT Kelly started her journey by hesitantly coming to a group session. Nudged by a great friend, Kelly showed up one morning to a Sunday Funday session in 2013.   Scared, not knowing anyone, never met me before but had heard my workouts were tough.  Kelly, like many others, took a leap and gave it try.  Five years later she is now a groupie!   Sometimes in life the things that scare us the most become a positive…

What WILL YOU DO this year

That’s a pretty loaded question, honestly.  But a good one to ask yourself. I’m sure some of you have set some goals/resolutions; I am also sure some of you are just glad 2017 is over.   What’s your plan for 2018?  Did you know, less than 3% of people have clear goals, and less than 1% ever write them down properly.  If you are serious about achieving those goals, to be successful at obtaining them you have to do what…
