This video is old, but I saw it just the other day for the first time. It made me think of my ongoing struggle to get back into the swing of things. This video is relatively new. It was posted by a doctor who is advocating exercise in a very simple, easy to understand way. [...]
Move It

As much as I appreciated the extra hour of sleep the Sunday of the New York City Marathon, I have to admit, I really dislike giving up daylight savings time. It just makes it feel like winter is that much closer. I begin to hit the wall that much sooner. I reach for a glass [...]

Hey! What are you doing?!? Silly, what are you doing? *** Can you read the difference? My older daughter, Katie, has been struggling for some time now with many of the quirks that come with Brooke’s autism.

Last week I awoke one day to a message on Facebook from my friend Sue. She had sent me a link to this —> , saying she thought of me when she first saw it. Little did I know that Jess had posted that same video on her blog just the day before. I urge [...]

Tonight I am running a marathon. No, literally, I am running the Around the Lake Marathon tonight, starting at 7PM. If you are in the Wakefield, MA area this evening, please feel free to come out and cheer. I have never in the last 21 month of marathon running felt more unprepared. How unprepared am [...]

Instant Change
Posted in health, motivation, tagged health, motivation, posture, slouching on July 21, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Back in August last year I wrote a post on posture, essentially saying that simply changing you posture could give you an instant makeover. As I walked around a town I was vacationing in a couple of weeks ago I couldn’t help but wonder what has happened to America? I should probably call my dad [...]
