86,400 Seconds… Over the course of my career I have had countless conversations/interactions with individuals who at one time in their life felt mentally and physically strong, felt they had it all together, were goal oriented, and driven to achieve. Throughout the years, some of these very same strong, driven, goal crushers seem to have gotten “lost” or maybe just lost their focus. It happens to most of us and sometimes more than once. They seek…
Stretching….If you know me, have trained with me, or have taken a group session of mine, you know very well that I do not take the time to stretch. Yes, if asked, I will instruct on which stretch to do, how to do it, and how long/how often. I admit, I fall short on the stretching detail. However, it has occurred to me just how many young kids are getting injuries lately. And maybe I have…
Energy= The ability to act, lead others, effect. Exertion of power! An adequate or abundant amount of such power! The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. (dictionary.com) I’ve been talking much lately about energy. More so in the sense of positive energy. You probably heard me say, “no energy vampires allowed”, “get on my energy bus”. I ended my 2016 year knowing something needed to change. Not just me, but also those…

Here it is, ONE week, 7 days til Christmas! YIKES! Are you ready? Last minute shopping, wrappin’, stressin’, depressin’, out of moola $$….. I feel ya. HOWEVER, WHY? Christmas is every year, the same date, the same traditions. So why do we let it make us act the complete opposite of what the season is truly about? If you step outside of mind, your “world”, your life, your everyday chaos. If you stop, for a moment,…
A HUGE THANK YOU! to everyone who participated in my Sunday Funday Fundraiser for a local family; and to those who were unable to attend but graciously donated anyway. I am honored to tell you all that we raised $600.00!!! It is an overwhelming feeling of fulfillment for myself to have been able to do this for another person/family/cause. I am “giver” it is my nature to give to others. I enjoy doing so. My small…
It’s been a while since I last posted a blog. I could give you a mountain of excuses but bluntly; I didn’t feel like it. Plain and simple. Much has happened in my fitness, family, business life; too much to blog. Sometimes keeping it personal (meaning to yourself and your close friends/family) is best rather than blurt out your guts for everyone else to read. Competition training took it’s toll psychologically. (Lots of spinning emotions there)What…
It’s Wednesday, it’s still raining. The weather is bringing us all down and putting our routines into a funk. What do you do about it? Crawl back in bed, covers over head, go to work and be miserable to co workers, grumpy to your family….? Well? I hope not. Be grateful for the day, even the rainy ones! It’s one more day you have to live, to enjoy, to achieve ideas and goals you set…

I completed my first half marathon Sunday. A milestone in my 41 years that I will never forget, and not because I am a runner and set pace or mileage goals, but for the moments created before, during, and after. Sunday we ran for Red.
