Interval training is hard as…MUY HARD!!!
Not a long workout today, but pushed it pretty good. Felt good, though it was definitely a climb.
Going to be doing a LIVE Stream broadcast of a tournament again tonight at 7pm on www.Kickgen.com from the New England Open. Supposed to be an appearance by an American Idol [...]

So, the past few days I have realized my clothes are not “fitting” me the way they used to. Like tonight I was walking across a college campus and had trouble keeping my pants from hanging like the gangster that I am
There have been a few times when I felt downright goofy due [...]

Oh my goodness people! I think God was laughing at us today…in a good way. We did the bike today and I thought my legs were going to POP!
The winds were so strong going in one direction, we were literally crawling on the bike to get down the road at one point. Then [...]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

There comes a place in a person’s life where you dig deep enough to face yourself for who you really are and who you are striving to become. I have crossed that path previously a couple of times in my life, and now I am searching for that place again. This Quest is [...]

Sitting at breakfast yesterday a.m. (Friday) I realized something that made my whole day…I MISSED A REST DAY ON THURSDAY!
At first I was like, “Dang it! I missed a rest day again!” Then I was like, “YES! That means I get one today!”
Just in case you were wondering, I thoroughly enjoyed my [...]

To a break from training today to get some biz and some writing done…just finished some things up, and back to training. I think whoever issues a challenge (see my last two posts, including the raw video in the post from yesterday) should be out there DOING the challenge…and I told Holly myself! [...]

Here’s a vid in the middle of training for the U.S. Open, and more specifically doing the daily duties of my new training challenge set forth by Holly, my wife and all-consuming manager (see yesterday’s post). It’s pretty raw as we captured it on a cell phone on the fly, and I was already [...]
