It has been a while. It has been a long while. Well, it’s a new year and a new start. Time to hit the refresh button. Throw out all excuses, because I don’t want to hear them. Do not tell me you don’t have time to carry on a healthy lifestyle. Do not tell meContinue reading “Starting Over”

We Must Adapt
Turns out having a baby makes it a lot harder to work out. Just when you think you have it all figured out, everything you thought you knew completely changes and you are forced to scramble. Then, it becomes a ridiculous case of confusion and mass hysteria before it all calms down and you figureContinue reading “We Must Adapt”
Tag Team
Finding time to work out when you have a child is extremely difficult. It takes strategic planning, flexibility, and most of all, desire. Let’s be honest, taking care of a baby/toddler is a workout in itself. We come home from work only to put on our parent hats and entertain our little boy for threeContinue reading “Tag Team”
An Indescribable Love
Parenthood is an absurd undertaking. It’s a complete change in lifestyle, an overall adjustment in perspective and a rebellion on all that you once viewed as normal. It is, as many will tell you, absolutely tough as nails. You spend the better part of nine months preparing for something you have no real business preparingContinue reading “An Indescribable Love”
Experience Life
Oftentimes we get caught up in what we believe is truth, without ever fully comprehending it. We prevent ourselves from experiencing exciting new things out of fear. We do this because of perception.

I wonder what the point is when my knees hurt or I’m exhausted from pushing myself too hard. I think about the fatigue. I think about the mentalContinue reading “Do What You Can Do”
Stay Focused – Choose Success
It has been a while since my last post. It’s not that I have forgotten about how important running is to me, or my health in general. It’s just a matter of finding the time. Between starting a new job and purchasing a new home with my wife things have been a bit chaotic. DuringContinue reading “Stay Focused – Choose Success”
Overcoming Obstacles
Overcoming obstacles can be difficult, especially when they seem out of your control. But, I have come to realize that if you fight with every fiber of your being and never lose hope it’s possible to overcome anything. Over a year ago I tore a muscle in my back. I wondered if I would everContinue reading “Overcoming Obstacles”
Setting Goals
One of the most important things in life is setting goals, because they allow you to develop a framework of expectations that can realistically be obtained. They are a map to a destination, with a set of checkpoints along the way. They not only signal our departure, but also our arrival, and without them weContinue reading “Setting Goals”
Plant the Seeds of Regrowth
The New Year has begun, which means change is imminent. For some it will mean a new gym membership and plans to reenergize their bodies. For others it will be an opportunity to gain a renewed sense of self and a chance to reboot their minds. Whatever the change may be and for whatever reason,Continue reading “Plant the Seeds of Regrowth”
