Fall is in the air...

This means bringing out all of your goodies for some colder training - have you checked your closet lately?  It is filled with tank tops, flip flops, shorts and the like.  If you have ever trained in near 0 temps you know that this won't cut the mustard!  Here is a list of some of the things to look for:
-good and disposable winter gloves
-leggings/long johns
-touques
-hats
-headlamp
-warm running socks
-long sleeve shirts
-jackets
-neck warmer

I am sure there is alot more!  This will get you started on your training journey.... enjoy your Tuesday!

Happy Monday!

Mondays are always busy for trainers - everyone has been bad over the weekend and they want to get back on track.  So what if you are sick?  Do you train?  This is a controversial subject - and I believe in light exercise while you are sick.  If you are in bed sick, then do nothing - but if you are mobile, it will do you a ton of good to get out for a walk and breathe some fresh air.  Keeping your joints mobile will aid in your recovery and make it easier to get back into the swing of things once you are well!

Networking, Networking....

This morning I will be attending a networking meeting for self employed individuals - a great tool to get my name out there....if I had my marketing materials ready!  No brochures, no business cards - what a faux pas!  What can I do?  Everything is at the printers!!!  Well I will have to use my gift of gab to get my point accross, and get my brochures for next week.

Have a healthy day - get out there in this cooler weather!

Training, Training....

So along with my quest for business success, is my quest for personal success.  I have struggled with my weight FOREVER and after a series of injuries have gotten back on the saddle and ready to perform!  yesterday I did a run...not long, 25 minutes - this included running into a pitbull off leash, helping a man find his trailer park, and warning the women about the 1st 2 items.  I pushed when I could and felt great afterwards.  I also did partner day at class and had an odd number, therefore I got a double whammy yesterday.  Today, we will see how sore I am but I will try to do something - I know how important it is - because I preach it every day!

Day one of the new blog

As usual I don't have much time to post much.  My days typically begin early and end late.  Sometimes there are breaks in the day, and other times I am gone from 6:00am - 8:00pm.  If the business is good, you stay out, period.  Business is picking up - I love my job, I love my clients, and that is what makes this job fulfilling.  With wedding planning on the horizon I need to focus on my business and on my clients - how many inches can they lose this month?  And no matter how hard I try to get them to throw their scales out the window they never seem to comply, what is the obsession with looking down at those numbers???  Back to the grind, it is going to be an awesome day!
