Sometimes we don't need to add things to our busy lives to improve. Better yet, we should be removing things that are slowing us down.

Identify one thing at a time and make it your priority to execute with your full attention every day.

A little shout out to Mary Delehant- Candelaria for tackling her old smoking habit again. She's already quit completely and is working through the patches - hang in there Mary!
BIG CHANGES AHEAD!!

Had a conversation over the weekend with an athlete who believed they were out of shape. They were looking for a conditioning regimen to incorporate each week on multiple days to get their endurance back (on top of a practice schedule). Through a few questions we were able to uncover the "out-of-shape" feeling they were having was not due to lack of activity but in this case due to improper fueling. The feeling of tiredness was actually muscle fatigue from lack of recovery and not necessarily from an incapable body. This would most likely turn into overtraining if the body was pushed to do more work and most likely result in even worse performance. Regardless if your an organized sport athlete or an athlete of life, proper fueling is essential. This is essential to proper muscle recovery, keeping the late night cravings away, and as in the case above, maintaining and even enhancing work/sport performance. Sometimes the simplest things will serve us the greatest results, you just need to look over your own habits and start with one thing.

Lacrosse Ball your arch! Seated or standing, easiest thing to do after waking up. Not just a pre/post hike ritual but for all the walking/standing I do on normal days, it certainly helps every day of the week. Find a tight spot, put some body weight into it, flex and extend the toes while you do it. Your knees will thank you. @ South Mountain Hiking Trails

Got a message from of this young man receiving this honor. He's too humble to share this himself but he definitely earned this award. The marines received someone with great potential and I'm glad they're noticing.
