  • Mother Nature Loves to Surprise You

    Today’s workout had an interesting twist from the normal – we did a bunch of agility/mobility work. I love that sort of stuff because I am not only balanced challenged but also when I have to think and move at the same time –yeah that’s tough for me too. Because I didn’t grow up athletic,…

  • Oh Snow!

    This was the beginning of the snow storm this morning around 7A – it hadn’t even been snowing for an hour when I took this pic. When I headed to the gym before 6A,  there was no snow but we are gearing up for around 6 inches if you believe the weatherman’s forecast. After the…

  • Paul Rudd and One Direction

    Just a normal weekend that ended with our first snowfall of the season. I did my normal 9A workout on Saturday – deadlifts and then a WOD that just about killed me.  Mid-way through, Coach Bobby realized he had the WOD wrong!! We were told it was: 6 Rounds 5 Pull Ups 4 DB Snatch/each…

  • Christmas Abbott: Her Ink

    I’ve been a big supporter of Christmas Abbott since we met a few years ago. She’s just this bundle of awesomeness wrapped in a strong but tiny package. She resonates kindness. I love watching her grow and make her mark in the world without losing her sparkle. Not only did she set a new trail…

  • George Clooney Lives His Life, So Should You

    I was reading an interview with George Clooney in Esquire magazine this weekend and he said something that has stayed with me about how media and the Internet have exploded into our lives – changing it for the good and some of it for the bad. The president came here and there were some people…

  • Time Flies And You Are the Pilot

    Thanksgiving has come and gone — I still can’t believe December is here. I love holidays but I also love getting back into the swing of life.  I’m excited about what’s happening in my life — new career opportunities and new paths to follow. I am testing out the theory about letting go and letting…

  • Your Mind is a Powerful Tool

    I am continually working on ways to quiet my mind. It’s true when people say that the mind quits long before the body does. So much of making progress and improving is all in your head. I know from personal experience, as soon as I let my mind focus on how uncomfortable, fearful, horrible –…

  • Trail Race: We Were All In It Together

    Yesterday, I ran the 10K Trail Race from Hell aka the Loudoun 10K Trail Run in Middleburg VA. It was probably one of the hardest races I have personally ever done mostly due to the huge hill at the start and the finish of the race.  The race benefits the Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors and it was a worthy…

  • Russell Brand asks Why Not You?

    I gotta say that I love Russell Brand – he’s wacky, screwed up in so many ways, but sharp and smart as a whip and because of that, I just think he’s awesome. He has a way of getting his point across in such a coherent way that hits the point where it counts. I…

  • Inspiring: Malala Yousafzai

    I love Jon Stewart and now I love Malala Yousafzai — such a wise, brave, young woman.
