Backing Down to Keep Moving Forward
I have a problem, my problem is that I always push myself to progress the way I see myself progressing. Most people would say that isn't a bad thing, but it can be if you don't know how to control it. After my first marathon, I felt fantastic! Don't get me wrong, I wasn't running [...]

12 October 2011
This may seem like a ridiculous question for most and an unecessary one for some. As I sit here planning my next future athletic endeavor, I wonder which path I should choose. With my first marathon coming up in about 2 weeks, I can't help but think what's next. I told a buddy of mine [...]

3 October 2011
Over my reading and talking with other runners, I have picked up a few things that I wouldn't call tips but more "must knows". Things that some runners may not know. Things that newbies wouldn't even think of. And things that experienced runners may forget to do. Also, just some good things to keep in [...]

For any of us who are involved in ANY sort of exercise/movement/living on a daily basis, muscle tension can be the villian of our lives. It is imperative to revive your muscles after a long day of work & exercise. You can not use your muslces and lose them or you can use your muscles [...]

7 August 2011
So eventhough it is still 2.5 months away, the excitement for the Ragnar relay is building up. My runs have improved in their speed, my stamina, my gait, all of it! Truth of the matter is, without proper planning none of it would be possible. Here are some tips that have helped me that can [...]

13 June 2011
In preparation for my half marathon in TWO weeks, I went for a trail run yesterday at Red Rock Canyon. My expectations were high, but I was realistic that my time would not be the best. First of all you're running on a trail which means dodging rocks. The ground is uneven gravel and dirt [...]

9 May 2011
So, this weekend I was able to take a ride to St. George, Utah for the ironman championship in St. George. Let me start by saying that as soon as I stepped out of the car, it was 96 degrees! This was at 3 in the afternoon, a time when most of the athletes were [...]

22 April 2011
Do you have trouble taking a break? I know it sounds ridiculous, but you would be surprised how many people are unable to take a day off. The problem? Your body NEEDS that rest day to recover, repair, and replenish. If you are working out everyday, chances are you will hit a wall or even [...]

3 April 2011
I was reading a magazine and came across this short tidbit of information. Thought it was a very important point that I often bring up to all clients, so I thought I would share it. "A workout a day keeps the pounds away. According to a new study at the University of Colorado, [...]

4 March 2011
So it's that time again, time to get ready for the pool, bikinis, hanging in the sun, but are you prepared? I see many people who come in and make the final 3 month puch into summer, trying to get those bodies into bikini shape. Though I stringly believe overhall conditioning and strength training will [...]

19 December 2010
Oh boy oh boy, it is almost time! I'm sure 90% of us have encountered numerous cookies, cakes, parties with the Christmas cocktails. Go ahead, enjoy! But wait wait, be sure to control the amount of times in which you "enjoy". Everyone deserves to indulge for a moment during the holidays, but only if you [...]

7 December 2010
Based on one of my recent posts, I thought this was important to share. There's no getting around it: To lose weight and keep it off, you need to exercise. But some days that hardly seems possible. Our days are overbooked already! Yet experts agree – exercise must become part of your overall daily [...]

26 November 2010
Ok ok, I am not going to post about how you should not have had that 2nd plate of potatoes, or how you could have done without that 2nd piece of pie, or even how you feel like crap today from guilt. Look, I know most people are going to indulge a little on the [...]
