Ten years ago today, I clicked on a link that I had been given. I was told that it would be a way to promote Beachbody that would replace the affiliate banner marketing campaign that I had been using. That turned out to be very good advice and has been […]
Some Miscellaneous Stuff

On my 45:00 run in the foothills today, I saw two people and five coyotes. One of the people was near the end of the run and she warned me that there was blood on the trail ahead. I’ve had people say that there were rattlesnakes or coyotes, but never […]
Happy New Year 2017. I don’t know about you, but 2016 may rank as one of my worst years ever and I am so glad that it’s over. It was a year that I looked forward to but little did I know that it would hold so many challenges and […]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope that you all have a joy filled and healthy day with your families!
How I Came To Love Coaching I began coaching with one runner in 1983 and it was more of a mutually supportive training partnership. I then started running with a group of runners in Princeton, NJ. Part of that group came to rely on me to provide the workouts for […]
With Grace leaving for a week at the Southern Rockies Discipleship Camp on Saturday morning, Carly and I ended up going to the Freedom Celebration at Isotope’s Park by ourselves. It was the most joyous thing that we have ever done and we became part of the largest crowd ever […]
I am not anything other than a regular guy who started running and then kept going. There was a break in the late 70’s when I lived in Guatemala and played a lot of soccer, but I still ran occasionally, too. When I returned to the United States, […]
Last night I had this inspired idea and I almost pulled it off, but not quite. We’ve had some really cold weather in Albuquerque lately and I had my Polar T-shirt under another shirt. My not so brilliant idea was to have Carly take a picture of me […]
No, my year doesn’t start on February 1st. It has just taken a month to take this year’s bull by the horns and put in place a plan to make this the best year ever. At the end of last year, I was told that I would be […]
With just a matter of minutes before I dedicate the rest of the evening to the girls and we watch “War Room“, I just wanted to do a quick post about dealing with rough days. I’ve had a few in a row, but have successfully dealt with them in […]
In case any of you thought that I didn’t wake up from the nap that I mentioned in Day 2 of the 21 Day Fix and that would explain why there wasn’t another post, I am happy to say that I just got sidetracked – for 19 days apparently. It’s […]
Given the opportunity to work out with a friend in the SuperGym and in our Take Charge of Your Body for Life Facebook challenge group, I decided to start the 21 Day Fix over again. It was an easy decision really because I had already gotten behind on my […]
It’s after 10:00 and I am finally able to sit down and eat my steel cuts oats for breakfast. This must be at least the 1,000th time, since I’ve had them almost every morning since April 25th, 2012. That is the day that I started The Ultimate Reset […]
Whether it was a prolonged illness in the family or recovery from an accident or the nightmare of divorce, we’ve all experienced times in our lives when it was if we were in a tunnel and all that we could focus on was what was within the confines of that […]
Being fit and healthy isn’t just about how good you look. It makes sense, too, because you will have more energy, be more productive, have a better outlook on life and have more money. Have more money? Yes, with fewer sick days, fewer doctor’s visits and less need to take […]
Stress has plagued me (like a plague) for years. My rock for staying healthy has always been Shakeology and it has worked for me for over 5 years. Last summer, though, I was just feeling really drained and by chance, stopped at a Pharmaca for the first time […]
I actually posted this on Facebook earlier today and it is such an important post that I want to share it on my blog, too. My question is, if you can be a work at home dad and make a good income and spend every day with your children, why […]
Shakeology has been a daily part of my life for over 5 years. It has seen me through the toughest times that I have ever experienced and inconceivable stress and I’ve barely skipped a beat. I can’t say that I haven’t had a cold or some physically or […]
Because there is no point in looking back, right? If I did, I would see my SuperGym workout calendar for March (not to mention the first 6 days of April) and see the worst training log that I have ever had. In fact, over the past three months, it […]
What a difference a year makes. At the end of 2013, my left knee hurt too much to run (or I would have to walk to warm up and then could run a little and then walk and run a little and walk). I thought that the pain […]
An open letter to my team of Beachbody Coaches: Coaches, you can change your body in eight weeks, you can change other people’s bodies in eight weeks and you can change lives forever over the next two months. I am proof of how successful you can be changing people’s lives […]
First of all, let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you. It has been an especially rough month for many of you dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and a rough year for virtually all of us. But things will get better as […]
Last night, I sat in church and listened to Alistair Begg talking about Mark 14:3-9. In verse 3 it says, “While He was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure […]
While I had some things to do in the kitchen this morning, I clicked on “Shuffle” on my iPhone and Business of the 21st Century with Robert T. Kiyosaki started playing. I’ve listened to it a couple of times before, and what sticks in my mind is that we are […]
After spending years in the lab, I have come up with the formula for being forever young: Regular exercise + good nutrition + positive lifestyle choices = forever young – or at least quality of life for a longer period of time than most people think possible. You […]
No, not the 2001 movie, not the 2009 movie and not the Operation Fast and Furious. I am a Team Beachbody coach and I don’t mix politics with anything and especially my blog. What is fast and furious is the pace at Beachbody Headquarters in Santa Monica and here is […]
Isn’t it great having a partner to work out with? You seem to push a little harder, sweat a little more, and somehow find that extra gear to kick it up a notch. You motivate and inspire each other, keep each other accountable, and it can even produce a little […]
An article appeared from Reuters on Thursday about franchising picking up in the US and the first example that they gave is Robert and Dayna Penney: “(Reuters) – Robert Penney has seen his financial future and it involves heaps of frozen yogurt. Penney and his wife, Dayna, purchased a Menchie’s […]
My blessings have hatched over the last five years. I never counted them before they hatched because I didn’t know what they were going to be. I had taken a step of faith, rather a leap of faith, into a big unknown for me and it has become the source […]
