Live Smart. Live Healthy. Live Happy.
I’ve been working with Robert Connors of Signum Training and Nutrition for a few years now and the other day we were complaining about tight hips (typical fitness nut small talk) to one another. Naturally, the conversation started to evolve into a “well I do this stretch, you should try it..” back and forth, and […]
After 9 straight months of my Ironman training program, it was finally race day! My first (and shortest) race of 3 in this program, was an Olympic distance triathlon: .98mi Swim 27mi Bike 10k Run To find a race that fit in with my schedule, I had to travel to Williamsburg, VA (about 3 hours […]
UPDATE: I adapted the full 1 year Ironman training plan into a triathlon training plan specific to first timers. Available now! It’s been a little while since my last post, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been training. The last 8-9 weeks have been busy ones. Here’s a short list of what’s happened: My wife […]
UPDATE: I adapted the full 1 year Ironman training plan into a triathlon training plan specific to first timers. Available now! I know what you’re thinking… 11 weeks?

I’ve made a lot of silly decisions at various different parts of my life. This one though, might just take the cake. I’ve decided committed to completing a full Ironman that is scheduled for less than 1 year from now. The question I keep asking is, “Is it possible to train for an Ironman in […]
On Tuesday, April 11th, 2017, I stopped CrossFitting. After just completing a weekend of CrossFit competition at the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Challenge (affectionately referred to as “The MAAC”), I chose to shift my focus for a little while & “see how strong I could get” in 6 months. Starting April 11th, I began only following a […]
I’ve been a competitive athlete my entire life. After graduating from York College of Pennsylvania in 2010 & leaving collegiate Lacrosse behind for good, I began to see a decline in my motivation to work out. My sessions in the gym got shorter, less productive, and eventually I was just “going through the motions”. I […]
