Thought Provoking Questions PDF Print E-mail

8/31/2010

I love to use stumpleupon.com.  It is a neat website and it sends me to websites I would have never found otherwise.  Today one of the pages it sent me to was: http://www.marcandangel.com/2010/03/29/25-beautifully-illustrated-thought-provoking-questions/

Take a few minutes out of your day and read through these.  It will change your perspective and make sure you are in a good mood!

Make it a great day!

Staying Creative PDF Print E-mail

8/23/2010

To me, exercise is fun.  I truly like any form of exercise, whether it is running, biking, playing sports, lifting weights, it doesn't matter I like it all.

What I do find is that I constantly have to change up what I am doing for a workout or I get bored.  I can push myself with one type of exercise for about 6 weeks before I just no longer have the motivation to stick with it.  It can be as simple as switching from lifting heavy weights at close to my maximal strength for 3reps of 6 sets with long breaks in between each set to then doing more Crossfit workouts where I move from exercise to exercise quickly giving 100% effort over a short burst of time.  Other times I have to completely switch gears.  I may cut my weight workouts down to 2 or 3 times per week and pick up a sport and play that sport constantly for weeks before getting back into a normal lifting routine.

I think many of you are like me.  Many of you love to run, but after a several weeks of training you get bored.  Well here are a few races that are far from the normal and will make your training more interesting:

These races have some really unique qualities and may peak your interest in a different sport or simply just change your daily routine!

Let me know if you sign up for any of these races, we may be able to meet up for breakfast at one!

Make it a great day!

Running Tomorrow (8/21) Trails and Meeting Place PDF Print E-mail

8/21/10

Hey Ya'll-

After last weekends missed run due to Adalynn being born, we are going to resume our Saturday morning runs starting tomorrow 8/21/10.  We will meet at 8am at McAllister Park.  We will meet at the pavillion closest to the Jones-Maltsberger entrance called the "Turkey Roost" pavillion.  It will be on the left about .5 miles after you enter.

Here is a map:

The great news about McAllister Park is that no matter what distance you want to run, you can do it here at McAllister!  I will probably do the short 3 mile run, but there is also a 6.51 mile run which you can do from our meeting place, or you can simply start with the short 1 mile run.

Let me know if you plan to join us!

Best,

Nick

A New Addition- Hospital Nutrition PDF Print E-mail

8/16/2010

Last Wednesday my wife Sarah and I were blessed with the birth of our baby girl.  The experience and feeling of having your baby brought into the world is absolutely amazing!

The hospital food however leaves a little something to be desired! Of all places I would think that the hospital would have atleast moderately healthy cuisine.  That just wasn't the case.  I was suprised when they brought in a chicken fried steak for Sarah's first meal after the baby was born.  Now, I understand that it is a hospital and they have a lot of people to feed, but I was caught off guard by the fact that they would have fried food if they are in the job of making people more healthy.

So, we had to adapt and I was sent out to buy lunch and was able to come back with chicken sandwhiches for Sarah and Me.

No matter what your situation is, remember you always have other options.  You don't have to eat something unhealthy but rather can adapt and make your diet better!

Well, last week was the best week of my life so I doubt this week can top that, but I am excited for the upcoming week!  I hope you are too.  Instead of just hoping though, be sure to make this week a great week for you!

Best,

Nick
