From the wife of an Ironman… Here we go again. Interpret that phrase anyway you want. It could be “Here we go AGAIN!!!” or “Here we go – again.” Or may be it’s a neutral “Here we go, again.” I kind of think it’s a bit of all three. I never did get around to […]
I was at an event yesterday morning where a really cool thing happened to me. I was approached by a very close friend of the family and asked if I’d be interested in going for a bike ride with him. He went on to say that he really wanted to complete a 30 mile bike […]
The best way to influence your kids with healthy habits is to have healthy habits yourself. If you eat chips, they will want chips. If you eat kale…chances are they will nibble on it like rabbits too. If you exercise, you are setting them up for life! As most of you know, Adam spent […]
This is a short post…pretty much just a list. So much power is provided by waking up early. Some of the greatest minds that have ever lived practiced the art of how to get up early. But why? “Get up early” may mean different things to different people. For me, some days it means 4:30am […]

People are opening their windows, banging out their dusty carpets and purging the unwanted. Cleaning up has a way of making us lighter, more spiritual and excited for […]
Everyone starts in a different place. Performance can be a very broad term. Performance can relate to any aspect of one’s life, be it fitness, education, nutrition, business or life itself. We need to help others unlock their potential by realizing that they hold the keys to be able to optimize performance for themselves. These […]
I’ve never been a treadmill kind of guy. I always like running outside…always! No matter what the weather, no matter how cold or how much snow and ice there is, I always run outside. It’s just what I do. I enjoy being outdoors, taking in the breath of fresh air (until I run by someone […]
The day has finally come…I lost my Triathlon virginity. So I decided to do the Woodstock Triathlon (750m swim, 30km bike, 7.5km run). Problem was I really couldn’t swim.
