Last week I was talking to a friend of mine who was asking me for running advice. While I’m semi used to a friend asking me every so often for work out advice (ie. weights, etc.) I have never been asked for advice on running before. I’ve been working out at the gym since I was … More Running Advice From an Amateur
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! It was just two days ago that my father told me that we were Irish! He took a DNA test through Ancestry.com a few months back and discovered this.

It’s been awhile since the last time I wrote but honestly, I have been so insanely busy there was hardly any time. Also, I didn’t feel there was that much to talk about. Until now. Sure, I have things I can update you on – and I will. But right now, I’m about to go … More Have a Little Faith
A few weeks ago I was talking to Matt’s brother Zack about a pre-workout powder he’s been using when he goes to the gym. He said it helped get you pumped up for the workout ahead. I was rather intrigued, however not enough to go out and buy some at that moment. A few days … More Assault Energy & Greenlake Gobble
I have been running since March 30th and have been using the same pair of running shoes that I bought over a year and a half ago. Granted I had not been running as consistently as I do now, but I was using them for the gym and the occasional bike ride. Needless to say … More New Running Shoes
