As most of you who follow my blog know, I have not been able to participate in any type of exercise over the last five weeks. They’re still running different tests on me, and I will have more concrete information by the end of next week. I’ve dealt with similar health issues before, and not [...]
A cyclist among the runners!
Everyone knows the saying: no one can make changes in your life except you. Well, all of a sudden, this one little saying has become all too real to me. I am now officially into my 50′s, and working in a physical therapy type atmosphere, with everyone at least 15-20 yrs younger than myself, I [...]
Are You Overtraining?
“Got up. Got out of bed. Man, do I feel dead. Then I went outside and tried to run. Something feels broke, and I hope it’s just a dream…” Ballad of the Overtrained Runner (with apologies to the Beatles) Have you ever woken up in the morning with your legs feeling heavy, wondering how you [...]
1 Month Anniversary
A few days ago, I had my 1 month anniversary from not running. It’s kinda funny how quickly things can turn for the better or worse… and in my case it has been for the better (I hope). Let me explain…. Cheryl, who is my office administrator, gave me this time article to read a [...]
She’s no joke!!!

Consistency
The key to achieving most goals in life. I was just finishing up my last consultation of the day for fitness/weight loss, and my potential client asked me? “Why is your program better than any of the other programs, gyms, personal trainers that I have been affiliated with in the past?” My answer to her [...]
Exciting Times!!!!
Yesterday marked the official start of Zumba in a our Wesley Chapel clinic!!!! What’s Zumba??? It’s a really fun aerobic based dance class, based on Latin music. About 8 months ago, my wife told me that she wanted to do a Zumba class after taking our daughter to one of her dance classes. Next door [...]
Interval Day
If anyone was to question my dedication to training for this race, I think it would have to be laid to rest today. It was extremely difficult to get out of bed this morning, and start running in the cold weather. Considering that I’ve never seen snow, and have only lived in Florida or Jamaica [...]
