On Success …

“Success is the sum of small efforts – repeated day in and day out.”
- Robert Collier
Been busy in the real world, putting my nose to the grind.
Between work, non-rugby life and rugby team life, there hasn’t been time to dwell on blogging. I’ll get back when I can, probably will need to schedule it [...]

Marion Jones

The unfolding story of Marion Jones’ downfall is truly sad.
And now she’s going to prison.
This guy thinks she deserves it …
The most disappointing thing is Jones could have gone down in history as the greatest female athlete ever by doing it naturally. She was so good even before using steroids that she didn’t [...]

Monkey Bar – Day Two

A little tired going to class last for day two of our rugby class at the Monkey Bar Gym. And it was snowing and slippery.
Big T and I were running late so I missed the initial first few jogs in our warmup, but lucky me got in with time for the skips, lunges and bear [...]

Sore, Tired

Nomination

I would like to nominate the clementine for the “Coolest Citrus Fruit Ever” award.
Seriously, I love them. They are small, portable, juicy and easy to peel. And don’t have seeds!
And when you find them on sale, it’s even better.
Seriously, go find some and eat them. They are awesome. And good for you.

Monkey Bar – Day One

Holy crap, do we have a lot of ruggers taking our Monkey Bar classes this year.
This is my third year of taking the rugby classes with our trainer Chad. Day one we always do fitness testing to set the bar, if you will, for improvement. I have recently decided that I like fitness testing. Because [...]

Monkey Bar Starts Tonight

Tonight’s the first night of our Monkey Bar Gym classes for eight weeks. Fitness testing tonight and then we hit it hard Thursday night.

Three nights of rugby-related workouts a week for 8 weeks.
Wow.
