Boston Strong

The Miles Back to Boston....
12 week training program tapering down... many emotions about going back to Boston or not going back to Boston. In my mind I keep saying...Been there, done that...BUT NOT the 2014 Boston Marathon...there will be nothing like it. A race of redemption for what happened to all of us in Boston last year. I can still hear the bombs. I can still see the mayhem unfold. I can still feel the fear of what will happen next. I can still remember wondering if my friends were OK & I certainly still feel the sadness and sympathy for everyone who was affected in Boston 2013....and that was all of us who were in the city on Marathon Monday.

3 days to Hopkinton...

THE RACE I have been thinking about for 1 year... 

I started this post before I decided to go back... after working through a decision process it was very clear to me that I needed to be in Boston on Patriots Day 2014 to RUN AS ONE with the world.

Much has happened in a year. I have learned to live authentically, true and be transparent.... 

You really ONLY get one chance at life....it can be taken away in a minute!

Tomorrow I fly... off to Boston I go.  To be greeted by a city full of strength! I cannot wait to take that left turn onto Boylston! #Bostonstrong #Boston2014

Catch you in Boston!

Follow Your Passion...Never Settle...

As the world turns...so do we. We grow older, wiser and smarter. We learn to let go of the "stuff" that doesn't matter and focus on the things that add value to our lives.  Family, friends and most important doing something WE LOVE.

I love people. I love fitness. I love being fit. I love watching people get fit. I love coaching people to achieve their goals. I think it is time I make "this" WHAT I DO.

Big changes in the works. Plotting.  :)

I like beer... :)

For now I am going continue to focus on the miles...and getting better.  The first 3 months of this year have been epic and life changing. I have learned much about myself and other people. Most importantly I have learned that I need to live authentically, be transparent and never give anyone a reason to question my integrity...  Focus on the positive and find good in every person you are blessed to cross paths with... don't judge others because everyone has a story.

The best thing about life....YOU get to pick your FANS!
