I’ve done quite a few posts on how important it is to be moving all day – even while at work. From Instagrams of me doing handstands to posts about standing desks, it’s something that I try very hard to keep doing throughout the day. But frankly, it’s sometimes just…
Back in 2013, in my third summer of running obstacle course races, I put together a team of friends to run the Mud Ninja race here in Ohio. A friend of mine who runs a training studio (Lori Crock of Movestrong Kettlebells in Dublin, Ohio) joined the team and offered to lead…
So… how’s it going? Been a while, hasn’t it? Yeah, other than my race reports (Tough Mudder, Indian Mud Run, and Mud Ninja), I’ve been scarce this year. Well, here’s what’s going on with me since our last real post. Frankly, I’ve been a bit depressed and down about things.…

Paging Chuck Barris… no, in all seriousness, this has nothing to do with the actual Gong Show (thank goodness – I really don’t want to go through the Unknown Comic and his cohorts again). It has everything to do with setting goals that are going to promote better living and…
