Goals

As seasons are winding down and races are filling up…. we are not only forced to think about 2012 but when we have new aspirations and goals…. we crave thinking about 2012. What are our goals? What do we dream of achieving? What is it exactly that we want to accomplish? At QT2 we have [...]

On the Mat

Raise your hand if you have ever walked into yoga with a goal. I can’t raise mine high enough. Through my years practicing and teaching I can think of several goals I have set in that studio: Touch the floor without bending my knees Forearm balance in the middle of the room frog with my pelvis [...]

The latest

Forgive me… it’s been a few days since I have written. Oddly when the site goes a little silent I get inundated with “Are you okay” emails, which is really much too kind. Believe me I am grateful you make this site a stop in your day and I promise, next week we will be chock [...]

USAT Conference Day Two

I am so glad I came to Philly. Several people in the clinic asked me what I am doing here….. I am here to learn. Although I have been coaching for 7 years I don’t know everything there is to know about coaching. I never ever will. That’s what makes clinics and conferences so exciting. [...]

USAT Conference Day One

Philadelphia is a pretty neat city. I am staying on floor #30 of a hotel much swankier than Mary Eggers can even comprehend. Someone came to my room last night to turn down my bed. “Turn down my bed?” I asked her, stepping aside. “I apologize but I don’t know what that means.” She smiled as [...]

You are what you eat

I am fascinated with nutrition. I wish I had done a double degree in Nursing and Nutrition. There is so much nutrition involved in being a nurse but it’s general and broad and dependant on what type of medicine you practice. In pediatric emergency medicine nutrition wasn’t something we dealt much with except the continuous fight [...]

Off the mat

I stood in the studio last night and the night before amongst a crowd of yogis as we like to call them. As the teacher I walk around the room and teach while Anita adjusts and assists. I do play music but usually not until Sun Salutation B. Sun salutation A is then illuminated by [...]

2012 season underway!

The Wizard and I reviewed the 2012 plan. What I have loved is that each season seems to have a different flavor to it, and each season piggybacks into the next one.  2012 has new things in it for me to try….. the very first being a marathon!!!!!! As I have said before I ran two [...]

Days to come

Autumn in Western New York might be one of the best kept secrets. Running and autumn around here ….. it just can’t be beat. As I have eased into marathon training I have done so under a canopy of trees, on trails covered by color, crisp Autumn air, and just…. this feeling in the air. [...]

Thoughts on Coaching

Triathlon Coaching is a big business these days. When I began back in 2004 it was relatively new. Sure there were coaches but not nearly the plethora and the depth of coaches available today. I got into triathlon coaching… because I have always loved teaching. I love getting inside an athletes head and trying to figure [...]
