Overcoming Barriers
Life is about overcoming barriers. Racing is like life. It teaches us how to overcome barriers. These tools, are easily transferable to real life. Anything is possible, and we are able to overcome anything. It's a mindset. Yesterday I competed in the 2nd Annual New Mexico Toughman Half Ironman. What an adventure that was.

Thanks for breaking my toe, in a location, that is difficult to heal! I did
The Magic Potion
aka. The 3rd Nipple. Is literally my Magic Potion. Which I keep in my Magic Pocket. I've been using it for years. Over the years it has changed subtly based on cutting edge research and development. I've tried different things, added them, kept some, disregarded others. I don't usually give out my recipe, I do charge, and you are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. I did once blog about this: Years of Research on Vitamin D3: Cholecalciferol I have been using this product for years. The BEST electrolyte product out there. Period. What's in the plastic baggie?

Hope
Yeah, I thought about blogging about this, and thought about blogging about that. And then, something happens, that changes my life. And I just have to roll with it. This morning I went to visit a one on one client. After our session she says, "Would you want to see the baby chicks?" Of course, I want to see the baby chicks! Who doesn't like baby animals?!? Well, if you don't, we can't be friends. So we went out to the chicken coop. Baby chickens are so cute. And there's a little one belly up, paralyzed, labored breathing, eyes still shut. My
