Running around the Point this morning, the sun glistened off the water as it rose about the Allegheny, warming my path as I did 1K fast repeats around Point State Park. It was chilly out, but I’ll take the cold every day for training if able as I love running when the temperature drops. I
The HARDEST thing we’ll ever face in life is the realization of how little time we have to make a difference. We should only fear the day we realize life might have passed us by – it is by far the worst tragedy. When you leverage the possibility of what you can achieve, it has

On Saturday, June 20, 2015, I will tackle the ‘Sub-3² Challenge’ at Presque Isle State Park on beautiful Lake Erie. A few short hours north of Pittsburgh, it is the perfect setting to have a marathon run and a marathon swim, back-to-back.

There is a certain amount of safety we relish about being comfortable. We fear leaving the ‘bubble’ and heading out into the unknown. There are those who blaze a trail without fear, without a distinct direction, because their path doesn’t have a road map. They want more out of life. In order to find what

As winter hits full force here in western Pennsylvania, taking off on the frozen pavement in nothing more than running shorts, shirt, gloves and a hat allowed my body to be subjected directly to the cold. Something we all
“I cannot do ______ because…” How often do you hear someone give you that line? I hear it a lot. In the long term plan, excuses are brutal. Not living or accomplishing your dreams because of some PERCEIVED WALL in your path leaves you a sub par life. I live life the best way I
