Something new to my blogs I'm going to incorporate at least once a month, is an article called "The Spinal Column".  It's compiled by my chiropractor, Dr. Gabe Wiener of Fosston Chiropractic Clinic in Fosston, MN. 
I was in there the other day to get something called accupuncture done to help relieve the sinus pressure I was dealing with.  I didn't know how it worked, but how ever it does, it sure works well!  Felt like something out of a movie laying there with needles in my face and a coupl...

It’s hard to believe the last week of 2010 is already here.  By Saturday, we’ll be into another new year.  This is always the time that people come up with their new year’s resolution.  I had a friend tell me recently after asking “So do you have your new year’s resolution ready for 2011?”  I had told him my plan, what I’m going to discipline myself to do, then asked him the same thing.  His answer: “My resolution is to stick to my resolution.”   He added that it’s always ...

Some people have been asking me about this and I will tell you this much, the only place I will promote it, other than when people ask about it, is on here.  This website blog and Facebook are the only two places I will be making updates about this "Hair Challenge".

The popular thing this time of year seems to be catching a nice head cold that brings forth sinus pressure, stuffed up nose, hacking cough and fatigue.  Or maybe it's just happening to me?  It has been the case for the last few days and it's not that fun.  Not only does it affect your daily routine, but of course it will affect your running ability to a certain extent too. 
This is one of the main reasons I add a couple weeks to my running program each year incase of injury or sickness like t...

"Hard work pays off!"

Ever heard that saying before?  Maybe you've heard it but haven't believed it.  I know someone who takes it to heart and has believed it since he started this event in Fargo, ND -- Mark Knutson. 
I get the magazine Runner's World and sure enough, January 2011 edition, page 83 - one of the top ten places to do your first full marathon....Fargo, ND at the Fargo Marathon!
I remember the first event that was held at the Fargo Civic Center back in May of 2005.  My parents, sist...

Laying there with my feet flat on the ground, knees up and hands over my head staring straight up to the ceiling of the fitness center after another good workout, I needed to think.  I had just finished stretching my muscles…now it’s time to stretch the mind too. 
It is December 1^st already.  First day of the month that seems to be everyone’s favorite.  It’s a time for holiday cheer, reflecting back on another year and just enjoying time with family and friends.
I do all of that as we...
