As some of you might already be aware – be it through word or social media channels – I am signed up to run my FIRST EVER MARATHON!!! However, it is not for myself that I am doing this; I am doing it to raise money for Wigs for Kids, to which I will also be donating my hair onceContinue reading “Marathon for Manes”

A Quick Rant
Ok. I cannot hold my tongue on this any longer. It REALLY bothers me when I see people in the pool – and really this particular peculiarity is rather specific to triathletes – who are using a GPS WATCH IN THE POOL. For gosh sakes – STOP USING A WATCH IN THE POOL. THAT’S WHATContinue reading “A Quick Rant”
Be a Culinary Explorer
I am going to make this as short and to-the-point as possible: Explore. WITH YOUR FOOD. I am asked A LOT of questions pertaining to nutrition – from recipes, to meal timing, to what to eat for weight loss – I’ve fielded it all and then some. What I notice is that it really allContinue reading “Be a Culinary Explorer”
Intent is everything
I know I have made mention of this previously, probably a few times. Nonetheless, it is important – for any realm, not just fitness and exercise – so here it is again… You can put in all the exercise time you want, learn all the new moves you can get your hands on, but it’s notContinue reading “Intent is everything”
When the body says ‘sleep’…
…You listen. You sleep. And no, this does not mean you can take advantage and say, ‘oh, this means I need to sleep all the time!’. No. That is not the correct interpretation. That interpretation is laziness. You do not meet goals and succeed that way. But I will not digress on that tangent further. BackContinue reading “When the body says ‘sleep’…”
Sometimes, I don’t want to eat a salad either
I thought that it might be a good time to introduce myself and my business a bit more, or, at least, explain the background, my vision, and my dream. I will refrain from a complete rehash as to how this all got started, something you can find here, but I will explain and extrapolate aContinue reading “Sometimes, I don’t want to eat a salad either”
BlissFALL
‘Tis the changing of the seasons, when the feted summer equinox transitions into the beloved autumnal equinox, there begins a diminution of daylight and temperatures, the air becomes crisp and fresh, and seasonal flora abounds in its’ last flourish of color. Yes, it is that blissful time of year known as fall. Great for running, for hiking, forContinue reading “BlissFALL”
Yes, I eat. All the time. And that includes cookies.
I know, I’m pretty irregular here. But hey, I work, and my effort goes there – to the people I train. I’m not a flashy sales person, so if you’re looking for a coach that’s flashy and spends a lot of time being flashy – you had better look elsewhere. Otherwise, if you want no-nonsense andContinue reading “Yes, I eat. All the time. And that includes cookies.”
Where have you been, Tina?…
Believe it or not, I do still exist. I am still alive. And so aren’t the thoughts about my blog. Yes, I did finish Ironman Lake Placid, and it was an amazing experience. I have started a draft of the race report (all of the relevant pictures are on my home computer, so I can’tContinue reading “Where have you been, Tina?…”

Out come the dogs. You can tell that it’s spring, and that we have not experienced formidable weather in quite some time when hoards of people – runners, walkers, cyclists, anyone and everyone who has been cooped up suddenly rushes to experience the great outdoors. You can tell that it’s spring when the birds chirpContinue reading “Samantha”
