The poet Carl Sandburg has said, “Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you.” In this day of 24/7 availability, only YOU can manage your time. It’s up to you [...]

Last Installment: I am a Warrior (author unknown)

I am a warrior. I tame the cobra of fear. I am willing to make mistakes and correct them quickly. I am willing to take action without all my ducks lined up in a row. I accept the worst, expect the best and go for it. I take unconditional action. Action in spite of fear, discomfort, disapproval or my mood I tell [...]

I Am A Warrior (continued, author unknown)

I am a warrior. I approve of myself. I am an original. I express my individuality. I ask for what I want. I live as I choose. I don’t need anyone else’s permission. I’ll look `em in the eye, I’ll tell `em who I am, and if they don’t like it, screw `em! I am a warrior. I have a [...]

I am a warrior. For me the time is always now, the place is always here. I only have power in the present. I focus my thoughts only on what I am doing now. When I sit, I sit. When I stand, I stand. Above all, I don’t wobble. When I feel anxiety, I come back to the present. I am a [...]

Last weekend marked the first Texas “Warrior Dash” in a little town called Forney. Over a two day period 20,000 “warriors” participated in 500-person waves to compete on 3.5 miles of off-road terrain filled with assorted obstacles and one heck of a lot of mud! It was extremely physical, a lot of fun, and highly [...]

Energy Needs for Athletic Kids

Lisa — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 03:50:35 +0000

I often get asked how kids’ nutrition and diets should differ from adults. While there are a few studies out there, they primarily measured kids engaged in average activity levels, not performance athletics. Many of the same rules that apply to adults apply to kids–you know, colorful plates (fruits and veggies), whole grains, clean [...]

Photo by AamerJavedThis morning, my son and I participated in the Salvation Army races at the new Cowboy stadium in Arlington, Texas. The weather was in the 60’s and overcast, so it was perfect for a half marathon. About 2 miles into the run, I realized the tall guy in front of me was in [...]

What you become is the result [...]
