Just because something sounds hard, doesn’t mean that it’s going to be. Really, what is “hard” anyways – everyone has their own definition of hard; some peoples’ ‘hard’ is something that is just outside their comfort zone.

Not really shocking actually…if you’re an athlete, you better know what a TRX, but since TRX does NO television marketing…you won’t find the non-athlete exerciser staying up late to see how many low, low payments they too can… [Read more…]

What an incredible place to run! My pictures can’t do justice to the beautiful bay that Reykjavik sits on that leads out into the Atlantic Ocean…mountains rising up out of the lava rock on the distant coast…European style lining the streets in the cars, people, buildings….a BMW SUV pulling directly in front of you at… [Read more…]

This blog will be on hiatus & will resume regular broadcasting on Wed 8/25 after my return from the land of Bjork i.e. Iceland. Hard to believe I’m fulfilling my dream of going to Iceland so early in my lifetime – but thrilled to be doing so! And in the summer too, when the sun barely sets… [Read more…]

We’ve been so pumped about cramming as much into this Iceland trip (because really, I mean when am I going back to Iceland? and will it happen before the volcano blows the whole country into the water?) that I just realized yesterday that we may have not left enough time to get workouts in leading… [Read more…]

I spent the last 4 days in the middle of nowhere – and had to run a 1/2 marathon distance long run while in nowhere. Well, not really nowhere. ‘Nowhere’ was actually Redbud Motorcross Track in Buchanan, MI where I was for the Pro National Motorcross Race from Thurs-Sunday of the 4th of July wknd.… [Read more…]
