The average reader of this blog takes 10,000 steps a day. If you’re going to do something over 10,000 times you better do it well.

Everyone has tight hamstrings, hip flexors and rounded shoulders . I’ve had enough. I took 12 weeks to learn how to mobilize these areas (and more).  I thought I knew how to stretch. I was wrong.

You want to tighten; You want to tone. You don’t want to get too big. Everyone wants to get fitter. No one wants to buy a new wardrobe. We hear ya. And we have some good news: it.

It’s hard to quit drinking when you work in a bar. Harder to embrace positivity hanging around pessimists. Harder to fix your nutrition if you’re working in a fast food restaurant. Environment matters.  If you’re aiming for a big goal you gotta be in the right situation. It all starts at home. Do yourself a favor: make it easy. Follow the #1 Nutrition law and Remove temptation.

Ragnar trail relay was delayed 2 hours for lightning.  The accompanying rain turned the Mountain trails into mud and slush pits.  The grass is slick, the rocks are slippery and the mud will suck your shoes and socks off.  All I had to run in were two pairs of Nike frees.  Good shoes for roads or dry trails, a liability in these conditions.

A friend texted me last night: “Having some achilles pain.  Thinking I should take a few days off and stretch.’ The moment I read it I thought of the movie ‘Avatar’ when Jake (the hero) faces down a huge predator in the forest. ‘What do I do?  Run?  Shoot, what?’ ‘Don’t shoot you’ll just piss him off.’ That ferocious beast right there, that’s your aching achilles. And you’re shouting, ‘What do I do? Run? Stretch?”  Don’t stretch.  You’ll piss it off.
