Remember being ga-ga for some boy or girl in your youth who you’d literally go to the ends of the Earth for…in a kind of unhealthy, young & stupid/sweet kind of way? Surely most of us have had that relationship that made us lose our damn minds for the person in those initial ‘shiny new… [Read more…]

I once attended a business seminar & came away remembering this line more than anything else…”A person is motivated by 1 of 2 things – what are they going to get or how can they prevent getting hurt.” The part that really stayed with me was this next line the speaker said; from whatever standpoint… [Read more…]

I’ve got a theory. And it may ruffle your feathers. If it does, all I can say is, “if the shoe fits…” I get the blessing of working with folks who want something better for their life – whether in sport, in daily life, or in both. And while sometimes they get a little off-track,… [Read more…]

The day will not always go as planned. The weather will not be always be perfect on race day. You will not get a great nights’ sleep. You’ll fall off the healthy-nutrition wagon. The triathlon will change to a duathlon (30 mins before race start…as happened to one of my athletes in a previous year).… [Read more…]

I *adore* people who stand in line for 5+ mins waiting to get to the counter to order, then proceed to ‘ummmm wellllll’ there way into an indecisive order.

Really, what is “hard” anyways – everyone has their own definition of hard; some peoples’ ‘hard’ is something that is just outside their comfort zone. Other peoples’ hard really isn’t hard at all, it’s just unknown to them and so seems hard. But ‘hard’… [Read more…]

I went to the mall this weekend. The mall is a great place to take small children because every store is like its own little amusement park, and for the 2 year old twins I was babysitting with Drew, it was a place to stretch their legs & get tuckered out before bed. I really don’t… [Read more…]

New word for you: SACBE. Now stay with me & you’ll see where we’re going… This is the word for the “White Roads’ of the ancient Maya world. They were roads coated with limestone stucco, going from Maya cities inland on the Yucatan Peninsula all the way to the coast; all white so that travelers on these… [Read more…]

One of the things that bothers me the most is watching people fail to “bring it” with all of the intensity they can muster. They stop short. They cut their progress off at the knees. They fail to live up to their potential. I’m not saying you have to be “on” and all engines firing towards… [Read more…]

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve been up this early on a Tues to work on the blog! Since April, at least – since then Tues mornings have been reserved for early AM pre-work workouts. And next week, Tues will probably go back to being for my workouts – although the real schedule remains… [Read more…]
