The quiet seems to have hit a chord. There was a time when quiet was alive and well. There was a time when quiet was better understood. Appreciated. Respected. Cherished. Now it seems that it is just that place you have to get through to arrive at the “important, good stuff” .. Nothing could be […]

The quiet
It was early as I headed out for the morning Crossfit. As my car crossed the expansion bridge I heard some horns honking and saw a few cars cutting other cars off and everyone ,it seemed, was on a phone or texting…whether in a car or on a bike or walking on the street. It […]
A state of grace
It had been quite a while since the Crossfit workout almost brought me to my knees and nausea. I mean they are all challenging and test your very fiber but this one was different. I don’t know why but just was. The 20 minutes ticked off like the clock was broken and only worked sporadically. […]
A morning moment
It was 5 pull ups, 10 wall balls, 15 kettle bell swings. As many rounds as possible over a 20 minute time frame. Crossfit at its most basic and challenging. 9 rounds later there was about 20 seconds left. 20 seconds. Everything is relative. 20 seconds is so little a moment in time. Yet 20 […]
A reframing of the narrative
The saying on the tee shirt said it all. It was perfect on so many levels. I mean there we were on Christmas eve morning, at Crossfit, working out doing the wall balls, ball slams, push presses, snatches and squats over and over and…you get the idea by now. But there we were refusing to […]
Digging deep and spreading kindness
As the year winds down, I look back on 2012. What a year of change. Quite amazing how it played out. It didn’t start that way. But it sure is ending that way. Change. It just can’t be denied or avoided. It is a good thing. It prevents us from just phoning in our life […]
Sweat Knows No Age
The morning ritual. For us it is 6:30 am. Workout clothes on. First cup of coffee done. Water bottle filled. Johnny Cash on the radio….the Man In Black. Crossfit is waiting. An hour later, the sweat covers every section of our clothes. The water bottle is drained. You look like you just stepped out of […]
Don’t Forget to Play
The Harley and the Triumph patiently waited. As the garage door opened and the sunlight peaked through the motorcycles woke up. Sound odd. Maybe but I believe it is true. As we saddled up and rolled them out it just felt great to be back on the road. In thinking about living ageless never forget to […]
What Can You Do with 7 Seconds?
13 minutes and 7 seconds. Each second was relevant. Each second counted. Each second had meaning. Crossfit. 100 of this, 21-15-9 of that and that and the other. Done in 13 minutes and 7 seconds. Now we are off to Istanbul. Each minute and each second has meaning. Purpose. Not just in pushing yourself to […]
Crazy Good CrossFit at Any Age
You’re kidding me. That was the first thought that came to mind. You got to be kidding me. How many rope climbs. How many rowing sprints. How may sit ups. How many kettle bell swings. How many push ups. In what period of time. You got to be kidding. After it was over it all […]
