Last Minute Holiday Pep Talk!

Welcome to the Christmas weekend. Are you going to be good? I certainly hope so. Please remember that whatever you do, there will be repercussions! So please think before doing! If you drink too much alcohol, you risk getting sick or even worse, getting into an auto accident. And yes, alcohol will add pounds to […]

Look 5-10 Years Younger by Doing THIS!

Do you know what the easiest way to actually appear more vibrant as well as look at least 5-10 years younger? The answer is to just lose some weight. Those of us that are carrying around a few extra pounds… oh my God, what the weight does to our body, our skeleton, our heart, joints, […]

First of all, let me start today by thanking my readers. Whether you have been following me for a long time or you are a new reader, I would like to congratulate you for finding the perfect place to learn exactly how to have the healthiest lifestyle possible. There have been a lot of new […]

Change is Good

I’m looking at the calendar and I cannot believe that it’s November already. Ski season is just around the corner. And those of you that have been following me for a while know what that means to me. Every January I head out to Breckenridge, Colorado and spend about a month there working and skiing. […]

The Salty Truth – Runners Take Notice!

So I went out and ran ten miles yesterday. Was my first double digit run since The Chicago Marathon (10/10/10). If you read my previous article, you probably remember the problems that I had during the marathon which necessitated my dropping out at mile 21. Well yesterday, even though it is still October here, it […]

Why Watching Football is NEVER on my List!

Friends, it’s Saturday and it is always good to be back home after a long travel week. It really is true, “There’s no place like home.” I’ll spend the day getting settled back in and tomorrow will be a good exercise day. The weather here in Baltimore County should be in the 70’s and I […]

No Excuses!

I am getting ready to go on the road for the rest of the week. I will be traveling through Houston, St. Louis and Nashville before I return home on Friday evening. Now it’s easy when traveling not to do the normal routine, but remember, it is a lifestyle. So I am taking my running […]

Dave Meets *M*A*S*H at Chicago Marathon!

OK, it’s tough, but I will say it. I had to drop out of the Chicago Marathon after 21 miles due to severe cramping. I tried everything I could to keep moving, but in the end I felt that covering the last five miles in the 80 plus degree weather could have been very dangerous […]

Four Days Until 10/10/10 – Chicago!

Yes, according to my calendar and watch I have about four days and ten hours before the starting gun sounds at the beginning of the Chicago Marathon. Am I ready? Yes, I am ready to finish! To complete the marathon, one needs a combination of physical and mental readiness. I think my body is ready […]

The Rewards of the Marathon

I have just completed ironing words on the shirt I will be wearing in the Chicago Marathon this Sunday. The front simply says “DAVE.” That’s so as I run, every spectator on the 26.2 mile course will see my name and yell “GO DAVE!” This will hopefully give me the energy I will need to […]

Next Up: 10/10/10!

As I am still recovering from my 48 mile backpack in Grand Canyon, I was just reminded that exactly a week from today is the Chicago Marathon which I will be running. I did a seven mile run this morning and felt great. Probably lots of strength left in my legs and lungs from the […]

Some Pics From Rim to Rim to Rim in Grand Canyon

If you are on Facebook, please go to http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2095354&id=1337207784&ref=mf to see a bunch of really cool pics from my 48 mile hike in the Grand Canyon! It was so nice meeting so many cool people along the way. I am still working on getting my book started. I have been just so darn busy since […]

48 Miles Hiking in the Grand Canyon – Oh My!

Yes, I did it! I hiked rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon successfully. That is me in the above picture – the tall guy, second from the right. It took six days and five nights backpacking and sleeping outside in campsites along the way. This was one of the coolest things I […]
