Background
When I Started: Aug 2008
HOW I STARTED:
Two years ago I walked in to the new gym in town just to check it out; had no interest in lifting, as I was busy with tennis and mountain biking. The manager told me to come in and work out any time, and then come and see him in a month or so to join up - the rest is history.
WHY I LOVE IT:
It completely focuses my life; it gives me energy, drive, motivation, and increases my performance in everything I do.

Pushing Through
Posted in Supplements : Apr 12, 2011 7:36amI have never been an endurance athlete. Weight training has been ideal for me because the mode of short bursts of focused power just seem to work for me. When I started training in swim/bike/run, the need to exert and persevere over a fairly long period of time (from what I was used to, not compared to real endurance athletes) was shocking. I thought I was in good shape, and it was a rude awakening to be put in a position of "I can NOT #$@*ing get through this." I consider myself fairly mentally tough, and even still it's been a continual battle to push forwar...
Smoothie Recipe
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:00pmBest smoothie recipe of all time (and it's yours free!!). Into blender: 1 peeled banana 2 tablespoon scoops plain yogurt 1 cup frozen blackberries 12oz skim milk Add two scoops of chocolate protein powder (whey) while blending on low, until well mixed (but not fluffy). Drink straight from blender!
Giving Thanks
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:00pmJust wanted to take a minute to give thanks to the great people that created and run the bodybuilding.com site. For years and years I have used the site's supplement store, and always been so happy with the service and prices. More recently I have become active on the bodyspace side of the site, and have been really impressed with the sites design and capabilities. Even more though, I have been pleasantly surprised by how awesome the site members are. Sure there are some rotten apples in every barrel of fruit, but by and large the folks on this site have been really gre...

GM gald to add you on board; I so much admire your avi! I love a person who runs without shoe wear on; it reminds me of me growing up as a child; i was the only one in the block who didn't wear shoes and ran and climb fences and trees i was an active child at a young age:) lol

When I first saw the tiny thumbnail pic I thought you were walking on hot coals. (Where is my head?) Congratulations! I'm going to borrow that if you don't mind - finish without stopping. Sounds like a good mantra for the rest of my life.

Hi! Congrats to you! How are you feeling today? My weekend was good. I did a hot, hilly 10 miler Saturday. And then did a short Mother's Day run yesterday. I need to get my eating back on track today. :)

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Best of luck to you! I have a Mother's Day run I'm doing w/ my girls. It's just for fun. And I'll get in a long run on Saturday. I'm really considering tackling my first full marathon in October. I need to keep up w/ my mileage. Have a great day! :)
