Summer Watermelon Fruit Salad
Comparison can be an evil thing. I do it, I hear others doing it. Why must we compare our chapter 10 to someone else’s chapter 20? There isn’t anything more detrimental to personal goals than comparing yourself to other people’s successes. Everyone is different. Everyone has different goals, motivations, failures, successes. The journey you are on should be…

How is it Monday already? I could have used one more day to the weekend. Yesterday I participated in a Spartan workout at an obstacle academy. When I signed up I made the assumption we would be getting in a workout on the obstacles, wouldn’t you think? Nope. As I sat there really annoyed that…
Protein Puppy Chow
The official countdown to my first Spartan Super has begun! I only have 8 weeks to get my butt in shape to run a race consisting of 8-10 miles and 24-29 obstacles. Competitors don’t know how far or how many obstacles are in the race until standing at the start line ready to take off….
