I’ve Never Felt Like This Before

As most of you know, we lost a great man this past week.  I lost a best friend.  Fitness Quest 10 lost a family member.  The Sawyer family lost its leader.  Ken Sawyer, 51, aka “Sawman”, died in a freak, tragic accident when his motorized scooter was hit by a car making an illegal u-turn.   […]

Waggin’ Tails

Waggin’ Tails By Todd Durkin, MA, CSCS They say a dog is man’s best friend. I think they’re right. I have a 13.5-year old Golden Retriever named Sid. Sid is getting old. For his breed, he IS old. I have to carry him up the steps at night because his legs sometimes give out. His […]

Real Medicine for Real Health

Real Medicine for Real Health Brett Klika C.S.C.S. “Take two of these and call me in the morning”. Ahhh. Modern “health care”.

A Culture of Mental Toughness

A Culture of Mental Toughness Brett Klika C.S.C.S. “Mental toughness!!” the overweight, out of shape, red faced, coach screamed as his team did their umpteenth set of “gassers” at a 10k pace.  He nodded and smirked knowingly at his coaching staff who was fervently echoing his sentiments.   They had succeeded that day.  The athletes were […]

Was it Really an Accident?

Was It Really An Accident? By Todd Durkin, MA, CSCS It’s funny how life works. Sometimes people appear just when they’re supposed to. Just when you need them.
