  • My biggest advice is HAVE FUN !!!!. You only get to have your FIRST TIME once, enjoy every aspect of the new experience. In my opinion the last thing to worry about is that your pace is too slow.

  • Season w/ Garlic Powder, Paprika and Cumin. Brown in a skillet Add a can of diced tomatoes, a small diced onion and a couple of stalks of chopped celery. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for ~20 minutes In the last few minutes add a chopped Bell Pepper (I prefer them still a little crispy) Serve over steamed rice.

  • I battled sciatica for years as a result of degenerative disc disease. Chiropractors, surgical consultations, PT and meds. I found what worked best for me was developing and maintaining a strong core. It was not a “magic pill” nor did it happen overnight. Though gradually (over ~3 months) the intensity and frequency of the…

  • I try to do three days a week of each. So I have a contingency plan if something comes up. Also just to mix it up a bit. In the morning it is typically alone, which I generally prefer. While in the evening it is usually with others, which provides some extra motivation. Find whatever works for you, but don’t be afraid to…

  • This being your first, the only goal should be: “To Finish”. If you feel the training is too intense, it probably is. If you hurt yourself over-training you will not “Finish” because you probably won’t start. Don’t fret over times, no matter in what time you “Finish” it will be a Personal Best. Worry about your speed in…
