We Stand. We Show Up.

  I have often been asked to chime in on the mental game of an athlete, to help those who compete to do so with a strong mind and clear nerves. So this blog would usually be just that… before the big race “how to” when it comes to mental toughness. That is my job,… Continue reading We Stand. We Show Up.

Broad Street Run – From the Back Of The Pack

– Jamie Stanek   Broad Street is getting close.  I feel it like a holiday or party.  Last year, I was planning on mostly walking Broad Street.  I could do close to 14 minute miles at a quick walk.  I was being kinda snotty about it because I “wasn’t a runner.”  I hadn’t really run… Continue reading Broad Street Run – From the Back Of The Pack

This is only partly because I’ve been up since 4:45 am and partly because I ran a 5K this morning. It is mostly because… Continue reading What Does it Matter?
