I’m tired of being mystified the mysterious BPM (Beats Per Minute) when it comes to choosing songs for workout mixes and my runs. Normally I just go with what I like but I have noticed a correlation between tempo and my speed. So I decided to ask our friend Chris from Run [...]

What’s the Plan, Stan?

On October 6, 2010 By

Since having a child I have this really annoying habit of rhyming random things. "What’s the plan Stan?", "Later Gater", and my favorite "Let’s go, Joe."

Progress is in the Planning

On December 7, 2009 By

I’m feeling much better then I’ve been these last few days. I’m not sure what was up with me. Unmotivated is an understatement. I was down in the dumps. Lazy. Uninterested in everything. In a funk, as I like to say.

Awhile back I asked What do you love about your body? for the question of the week (my God that was a year an half ago.. how time flies!)

The point was to get us to stop focusing on what we hated about the image in the mirror and start appreciating our bodies for [...]
