What a nutty crazy practice mason had today!. He's finishing up a 10 week season of Ice training with dry land. Today was the first day back after taking 2 weeks so that his coach ( Scott Polaski) could go to China. During those 2 weeks mason had to do dryland training with me :) lots of medicine ball stuff - getting his mile to a decent time and lots and lots and lots of core work. Well,, today the boys hit the ice again. We had another EHL player come and skate with the kids today - nothing li… Continue

I am lucky enough to be just minutes away from the foothills of Colorado. One area that is really close, about 10 minutes away, is called Horsetooth Mountain Park. Horsetooth is a favorite of mine becuase, it's challenging, there is always wildlife, it's safe and it's absolutly beautiful. http://www.co.larimer.co.us/parks/Htmp.htm if you are interested in checking it out.
Friday morning I had made plans with my friend Wrenn to run up in Horsetooth. We are both 40ish and just enjoy being outside,… Continue

I hope everyone had a great Monday. It's been the normal, crazy busy around here.

The community is tight here, really tight! les played for the Colorado Eagles as a defensiveman. He was a tough, athletic player with an incredible work ethic. now he is fighting a different fight and you can read about it here

Today I started the day with a run in the foothills, it's a beautiful day here in the low 90's. I woke up at 5 to go for the run before it got too hot. Yesterday I worked out with my trainer again and am having a hard time using my tri's so running was good for me today.
The kids have lots of activities today, mason is skating with Polaski from the Eagles. It's such a great program for him, lots of edge skating. It's fun to see him power through the tight turns and get more comfortable on his cr… Continue

This morning I started the day with a workout from my trainer - all types of interesting lunges squats and stuff that normally I wouldn't ever do on my own. I am so frustrated with the whole pullup thing - one of these days I will get these down. heck, at 40 you CAN learn to do pullups. my trainers version of a pullup is this - weight bar hanging on the rack, lift straps hanging from bar, bosu ball. I have to lay underneath the bar, but my feet on the bosu ball with my legs straight, grab the st… Continue
