2017 Ironman Louisville Race Preview
If all goes as planned, exactly a week from when I’m typing this, I will be starting the run portion of Ironman Louisville 2017.

Louisville Landsharks Triathlon Race Report
I’ve raced this Olympic Distance triathlon course at Taylorsville Lake many times in the past. It’s a familiar course and one that I actually love to race because there’s no advantage for someone that is very strong in just one of the three disciplines.

That’s right, they are bacteria that are GOOD for you. People usually associate bacteria with disease, but your body is full of bacteria, both good and […]

I read research and listen to experts talk on podcasts every day and there are still times where I come across contradictory information within a 24-hour period!So what do I do? I just […]
Solid Steps Radio
A few weeks ago I received a message on Facebook from an old friend. He co-hosts a weekly radio show / podcast and he wanted to know if I would be a guest on his show. He was putting together a show to encourage men to start exercising. I jumped at the chance as I’m […]
What My Diet Looks Like
It’s been over two and a half years since I kept a food log, so I thought it would be a good idea to do it for a week to see what my typical diet looks like. I don’t follow any type of “official” diet, such as Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, etc., so I […]
