Alan and I spent several days last week looking at death. That sounds a bit dramatic I know, but it’s true. At his doctor’s appointment last Thursday Alan was told that he had an aortic aneurysm. And that it could kill him at any moment. Let’s back up a bit. This is the second time […]
Personal Trainer Reflections and the IDEA World Fitness Convention
I hadn’t though much about it, but I was filling out a form the other day and it asked how long I’d been a personal trainer. I realized that it has been 14 years! To some of you, that may sound like a long time. But for those of you who know how old I […]
