4-Miles Under the St. Louis Arch!

I am in St. Louis for a few days for business meetings. Usually when I’m traveling for this job, it is a full day of meetings with maybe a 1-hour break in the middle. (Working lunches.) Today, for some odd reason, I […]

Early Morning Saturday

I don’t like to get up in the morning. In fact, I’m fond of saying, “If I have to get up THAT early, there better be Class-V rapids involved.” (I love white water rafting!) That being said, when training for a long-distance […]

Blogging as Inspiration

It’s funny how just blogging inspired me. I walked today! It was just around the big block in our neighborhood. It was a little too dark and felt a little creepy, but I carried a bright flashlight. It helped reduce the stress […]

The Stress Diet

Wow! It has been a long time since I posted anything here. It certainly was not my intention — life is just extremely busy and stressful right now. All of you know I published WALK! Magazine for the last 4 years. What […]
