AWESOME TO LIVE IN FLORIDA!!!

Although I love what the north has to offer, I couldn't live there. You know; the change of season, how beautiful the snow can be, and the change of colors in the fall. The non-flat landscape to train on and the warm (not BLAZING HOT) summer days. Well, it's February and I can train outside. That's why I live in Florida. I'll visit the rest of the north when I come to your town to work an Ironman. Hope you all are having a great winter.

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!

Today was a GREAT day!!!! I got a new face on the web page. I'm starting to figure out life a little more. My vision of where I want my company (The Center 4 Muscle Recovery) to go is becoming clearer. The list goes on and on. My Wisconsin trip was very successful. It was the first annual RACC MULTISPORT EXPO. Cole Braun put on a good show. I hope to see more people out there next year.
While at the expo I met many fantastic people. I even made a coaching connection in the Midwest!!! One of the coolest things I saw was the 8 Hour team time trail on the Computrainer. It looked awesome!!! On Sunday, there was a 5K. I have one word to describe that: COLD!!! No really, the cold started on Friday and "warmed up" during the weekend to about 35 by race day.
When I got back from the expo, I had a couple of days to regroup before I left to begin working the first of 7 triathlon camps: Heather Gollnick's IronEdge Tri Camp for Women. I was there at different parts throughout the week to provide the athletes with massage as well as to speak to them about the benefits of recovery and massage. We had a great week. This week there are 2 more camps I will be working: NRG Performance Training (http://www.nrgpt.com/) with Canadian Nigel Gray, and then back with Heather and IronEdge Coaching in Bradenton. As I said LIFE IS GOOD.

TODAY @THE OFFICE

It was a long day at the office. Getting ready for the RACC Multisport Expo in Wisconsin this weekend. It's a lot of work getting all this put together. I did, however, come up with a few new statements for the company. We redefined some things and they are:
APPLIED PERFORMANCE SPORTS MASSAGE
"IT'S NOT JUST A MASSAGE IT'S A DISTINCT ADVANTAGE"
"WE CREATE GREAT ATHLETES"

MIAMI MARATHON

I truly think i own VERY marathon runner I work with and all that that haven't an apology for not taking the Marathon Lenght rice with the respect that it deserves.. I AM SORRY.
I started this morning in Miami to do a Marathon with little to NO training. And thought I could do it. Well, as it turns out it not that easy. I ended up doing the Half Marathon in 3:30 ish. I felt very sad when mile 11 came around and there was no way I was doing the Full. I KNOW I could have done more in my training. I now have a new respect for all of you Marathoner. I will never take another Marathon race as lightly as I did.

SO FAR SO GOOD 2009

Wow!!! its 5 days into the new year and all is well. Word of advise, don't take to long off of training. It proves to be a bit difficult getting started. However, I have been back to training for 3 week and I am in love with the way it makes you feel when you are done for the day. Rode 5 hours this weekend and did so strenght work. Going to start running today and hopefully swim sometime this week.
Speaking if training and advise, you all should know that I am real big into Triathlon and I am in studies of the sport. Studying the way the body/musscles work through the event.
Here is my first bit of advise on that manner: it winter and for most of us its off season. So, the training volume is at a lesser importance. The advise is to redefine your body mechanics.
Redefine and refine your artfulness. If you look at some of the real good triathletes they look like a peice of art when they are on the race course.
As we go through this year I have little pointer/advise about what you can look like a peice of ART on the race course.
