One of the hardest things for me is being consistent in my workout routines. I find I have weeks where I can workout everyday, no problem. Then there are other weeks where I’m either busy, distracted, unmotivated or just annoyed where working out is a full-fledged struggle. I’ve talked about how dangerous inaction can be and since then [with the help of some of you], I’ve worked on developing a new mindset for my workouts that has helped out a lot. I call it the “Screw It & Do It” mindset.

My car broke down last night for who knows what reason [I know nothing about cars]. Before I knew it I was THAT GUY. THAT GUY with the busted car. THAT GUY in the right lane not turning right. THAT GUY holding up a horde of traffic trying to get home. After a few minutes of getting honked at, driven [...]

Hey, I put some new shoes on, And suddenly everything is right – Paolo Nutini [Listen] —- I’ve been needing new shoes lately.  My current shoes I got January ’09 for my last track season.  I’ve been wearing them since and they’ve been pretty worn down. I needed to get some new ones and I’ve been seeing and hearing a [...]

It’s official. I’m a triathlete. At least according the the USAT (USA Triathlon). I have the card to prove it. I paid the $39 and went ahead and did it. Honestly, I’m not sure exactly what membership gets me other than a cool card I get mailed to me and I don’t have to pay a $10 one-day membership fee at every triathlon I’m signed up for.

Who says you can’t travel? be awesome? start your own business? do what you love? Who says you can’t change the world? Who says? Who says? Who says you’re [...]

If you’ve been reading the blog for any time, you should know that it’s general knowledge that I’m not the greatest runner in the world.  I try hard and I am actually getting noticeably better but it’s still not my favorite activity in the world. The other day I went out late for my run and decided to go on [...]

Last Thursday was a long day for me. I had networking events all day and was gone from 7am to 11pm or so.  I came home exhausted and just wanted to sleep. I sat down at my computer and burned some time catching up on emails, facebook and twitter.  I knew I needed to work out and at least get [...]

People who collect experiences are more interesting than people who collect things. I came across that quote on Twitter a while back. It’s probably been a few months, and I have no idea who said it, but it’s been churning in my mind ever since I saw it. As I thought about it, I started to realize why it stuck with me. [...]
