SMART-y Pants
I just launched my first ever 21-Day Kickstart Challenge. I have 13 people enrolled and the challenge is based around accountability, exercise (of course) and healthy eating.

Spartan Strong
My first Spartan Sprint race is this coming Sunday. We have 10-12 people in our Spartan posse ready to crush the obstacles at AT&T Park in San Francisco. (Shout out to my Spartan team, woot woot). I've done a few mud runs and I've watched a Spartan competition show so I have the gist of …

Food Is Good Medicine
I mostly read magazines with an eye of education and takeaways. Recipes, suggestions, exercises, etc. I rip them out, tag 'em with a post-it and set them aside.
