Selling Diet Plans...Why Do People Fall For This?

Selling Diet Plans…Why Do People Fall For This?

I have been trying to figure out a way to frame this story for a long time. Part of me feels obligated to give you the inside scoop on the fitness industry but in doing so I have to talk about certain people I think are bad for the industry. The other part of me wants to stay away from the negative and focus on the positive.

The problem here is that a lot of you are wasting money chasing the…

Is the Fitness Industry Broken?

Have you ever heard that? No? As an insider in the business I hear this all the time. I also hear how every other industry is broken. This includes government, healthcare etc…

Luckily we all seem to have a lot of time to think about this now. Usually I get the “Fitness Industry is Broken” followed up by a sales pitch by a 20 year old that wants to be my mentor. 20 year old life coaches actually…

Post Quarantine Working Out

It is coming…I think!

This has been an odd year to say the least. I think that in the next couple of weeks we may begin the process of getting back to normal or the “new normal” as they call it.

How is this going to look?

I think a majority of people that go to commercial gyms will go back. After all, this is the cheapest way to work out.

Not everybody will be happy. How do I put this…

I hate you but I need you in my life. (at Castle Pines, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oqi2xnXMZ/?igshid=1ncv2e9591z0n

Found me some good dirt today! Miles and miles of it. Hot damn! (at Castle Pines, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oqXjLnoQZ/?igshid=1llluemf74xl5

I have mixed feelings about this. It breaks my heart when one of these beasts jump a fence and take a pet. On the other hand, it is nice that we haven’t completely sterilized our environment. It is good metaphor for life. Always keep an eye open for the unexpected. On a lighter note, I can’t help but think about wearing a Crystal Gale t-shirt the next time I run this trail. .....talladega nights reference anyone?

So there is a perception that highlands ranch people can be a little snobby. Case in point? They have a guy in a pickup groom the walking trails. I was running thinking the trails looked freshly groomed and lo and behold here comes a pickup to groom the freshly groomed trails again. Bizarre. P.s. they also have signs asking people to be nice each other. Yes, really. No doubt this is the narcissist center of the universe. There I said it. The worst of the bunch being the jackass that took three untrained large dogs on the trail without a leash to harass the cyclists. Next time I am here I will take a pic of the sign.

50 marathons in 50 states- True story?

This story isn’t about me. My brother in law told me this story and it is one of those weird, quirky stories that I can’t seem to get out of my head. So his wife has a friend who decided to run a marathon in all 50 states over a period of years.

To many of you, this will be the weird part but it makes perfect sense to me. Dean Karnazes once ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. Even that…
