Just being... trying not to do anything...

Ok, that is harder than it sounds.

I have said, and been told, that I am a human BEing not a human DOing, so I ought just be content being... not doing.

Why is that so hard?

We are conditioned to do... not just to exist and experience (which you can do without doing ;)

Yeah.

What a weekend... spent some time up North in Grande Cache with Alli, her brother, her father and step-mother. We were all out there to help Ryan work his way through his first Death Race... with Ryan being the second of the siblings to accomplish this amazing feat... and accomplish it he did. He endured like a trooper from start to finish, and did not complain through the entire thing.

One word for that - awesome :)

The weather was the pits, which put a real damper on the training plans for the weekend, but I got back and got my butt in the pool. I did manage a solid 1,500 - 2,000 metre swim in Hubbles Lake yesterday with Alli, and another 2k plus in the pool this morning, with a run still to come... so not all is lost :)

I don't know the significance of this post, but to say that I still exist, and things are moving forward... each day better than the last, or at least different, which is better :)

It's just me... existing... in Calgary.

For now.

Over and out :))

Bringing Survivor Bootcamp to Edmonton and Calgary

Well, it's been a crazy couple of months, and so I figured it was time for a global (and personal) update to the blog :) Things have changed dramatically, and generally for the better :))

The latest news is that Alli and I are no longer together. It was with a heavy heart that I saw her leave my life as a partner, and leave Calgary for Edmonton, but our relationship has transitioned to that of business partners (as well as great friends) and I am happy to announce that she is joining me in my quest to offer a superior bootcamp experience to the residents of Edmonton. She is starting two Survivor Bootcamp classes on June 4 in Edmonton... one at 6 AM and another at 6 PM. If you know of anyone that is interested in joining up, have them take a look at the schedule found at survivorbootcamp.com - loads of outdoor fun and fitness to be enjoyed over four weeks. So much fun that most of our participants come back for a second round.

I have been busy at work with the identical venture in Calgary - I am now offering two identical classes in downtown Calgary - again, 6 AM and 6 PM five days a week. You can find more information about my classes at survivorbootcamp.com - I am currently doing this part time, while IT is still filling my days... not too much new to report on that end :)

I just wanted to throw this update out there, in case any of you were not aware of the major changes in my life as of late... it's been rough, but I feel that things are really looking up :)

Thank you to everyone for your support... hope to see you out at the races soon!!
