Hi folks! Thanks for stopping by! Funny how you can learn about optimal body movement at the oddest of times, if you are interested in the issue. We attended an Opera in Rome the other day, as a special treat, and you can see from the adjacent picture that I didn't really fit in too well with respect to my chosen attire. But I sure enjoyed the show, Il Naso, about someone who lost their nose, or ... Read more
You Can’t Have Someone Else’s Epiphanies For Them, Which Certainly Applies To Body Awareness
Hi folks! Thanks for stopping by! We recently held a body awareness workshop ('Run Smarter'), in which I got to witness people saying, "Oh! Yes! That feels completely different."

Hi folk! Thanks for stopping by! There are many ways to stay young at heart, and not so old in body as you might be if you neglect yourself. For instance, I find that talking, no, listening, to children keeps me balanced. I was enjoying a nice cup of coffee the other day, and reading a book, when two kids that I know well (and love to death), started climbing on me, both talking at the same time. My ... Read more

Hi! Thanks for coming by! Here is a great swim set I learned from Rick, my swim coach and friend. It's called 300 broken. You break up the 300 yard sets more and more as you go along, but you have to maintain your chosen overall 300 set time.
