Velezercise

This morning I ran the Eye of the Dragon 10K which is my longest race since running a Half Marathon in April 2019. I signed up 3 months ago, and Iwill admit that my training wasn’t consistent during the holidays and then battling with sinusitis for a few weeks to start the new year. The last 3 weeks I ran a few times a week with no extra training. Today, I went in with the plan of not shooting out of the gates and enjoying the run , each time I climbed the bridge to keep my feet moving , and finish strong with what I had left in the tank. My goal was to complete it in 1:05 or less. I am happy to say that I was able to execute my plan and I finished in just over an hour! If I consistently trained, I probably could’ve run closer to my original goal of 55 minutes. I am thankful to have out there to support me! Today’s experience inspired me and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey! 🐉🌴🏃🏻‍♂️🏅

Jumping on the trend to throw it back to 2016…. This was a pivotal year in my career when I was provided the opportunity to start the Strength and Conditioning department at my Alma Mater. So thankful for my colleagues, coaches, student-athletes, interns and students who were part of this process. As an and , I have always been passionate about the value of collaboration to optimize sports performance while promoting injury prevention. I am proud to be a part of such a great network.

This is the second time I have stayed in Hickory, NC with a Florida Tech team, and my friend from fed my team. I go back at least 15 years teaming up with Rob to fuel teams I worked with for during my time as an and . I not only appreciate Rob for talents and nutrition knowledge, but he also a close friend. It’s always awesome to catch up! Thanks again Rob for feeding tonight! Looking forward to being back at the Alma Mater this weekend!
