My Standard

In the last two weeks I’ve fired two relatively new athletes/clients. The reason: no shows. Here’s how it works. I will be here, the lights on, the door unlocked a program written, I have already invested time. I will be ready and willing to work as hard as the individual who walks in the door. I will never make excuses. I have always given more of myself for those willing to work. If you are sick, stay home. If you are injured, rest. If that is the case, call. Have respect for everyone in your life and honor their time. There is no excuse for being disrespectful.

Rim to Rim to Rim September 24 & 25

Ripple Effect Founder Carolyn Parker and her love Rob Klimek are headed to one of the US’s most majestic natural wonders, the Grand Canyon, words cannot describe it’s beauty. It can only be experienced. To run Rim to Rim to Rim is a feat however it’s one we want to enjoy over two days so moments can be savored in the beauty of the Canyon. 23 miles one way, south to north it is 4500 vert ft down/6000 vert ft up…roughly. The night will be spent on the North Rim, then back, ideally by a slightly different route. Look for updates!
I can’t make this one B & W…just can’t

Gluten Free

Gluten Free

 

Is it hype and the latest fad? or something we should all be considering? I personally do my best to avoid gluten, that is a personal choice for many reasons. Here’s a link to an article that may provide some insight into making your own decision about Wheat and Gluten, among other things. Informed decisions are the only good decisions.
