Perception
(got this as a forward and thought it would be good to share. Very interesting) In Washington DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a...

Training Log: Cardio/Conditioning
Morning: just went for a walk. Woke up with an insane headache. The fresh air seemed to mostly clear it out. Evening: went to a soccer coaching clinic. I am assistant coach for my son’s soccer team and it is a blast. The clinic was fun, went through the handbook, then did some example stretching and drills with the other coaches; gave us all good ideas on what to do with our teams. ...

Training Log: Rest
If you happen to read my training log, you’ve likely noticed that I have not been posting for a week. I had last week off and took a week off lifting as well; the body needed rest. It was great to have a week off mentally, and physically. Spent a lot of time with my wife and son; did a few things that I think qualify as a bit of excercise. Went for a few bike rides; my son is learning to...

Ian's first soccer game
Our little man had his first soccer game today. He’s played a couple seasons before, but not in an official league. We had him in a defense position (fullback) and he did GREAT! His team won 4-2 today and he stopped the other team multiple times. Quite a few plays where he was the last line of defense between the other team and the goalie and he did so well. Extremely proud of our little...

Ian's first day of 2nd grade.
Sometimes hard to believe he’s growing up so fast. I have today off and really enjoy taking going to his first day of school as a family. I think it is important and have been fortunate enough to be able to every school year so far. Once we dropped him off, Dawn and I went to breakfast together - it’s been a long time since we’ve able to do that. As you can see in one of the...
