For the past 4 years, we have run a grueling 8-mile (not to be confused with Eminem) trail race about an hour north of St. Louis through a really, really hilly forest. That race is less than a month away. And how many times have I gone out and run?...
Welcome to the Saturday edition of my favorite thing I do at 18STRONG. My cousin Gio is playing in the state quarter finals for soccer this afternoon, so I don’t have much time, which… …if I gave you the next 20 minutes to get better what would you do? Here...
It’s a beautiful Friday. And hopefully you’ve got the day off in observance of Veterans Day – especially if you’ve earned our unending gratitude by serving our nation. This morning, I noticed that I was in a better mood than usual (don’t wanna brag, but I’m 99.9% of the time...
Happy Thursday! Today is my day that I get to spend the most time working on 18STRONG, so I look forward to it all week. I have lots of time to think about new training programs. What are Crew needs. And whatever pops into my tiny little brain. I’m sure...

BUT, with the winter season fast approaching. And...
Yesterday, I wrote about the freedom of working out "on your terms". You decide: When. Where. How. And our #1 tool to make those workouts super-effective is, drum roll please… The resistance band. Now, the much younger version of me used to think that resistance bands were a decent gift...
Welcome to another week of being awesome. But, not too awesome (more on that below:). So, this past weekend, we had an extraordinarily busy kids’ weekend – kicked off by my nephew hitting the game-winning PK on Friday night – well done, Gio!!! If you’ve been following us, you know...
Welcome to another edition of Sunday Night Football – boy I miss golf:) Actually, the title sponsor this weekend for the PGA event was World Wide Technology – a St. Louis company that everyone in town knows someone who works there. So, it’s Sunday night and I’ve got some free...
I’m a little late today, but I’ve had a busy Friday of fun. And it’s just beginning of a great weekend. Before we let loose, here’s a quote from the tech king himself – Steve Jobs. Now, on the surface it’s about the fear of failure. But between the lines,...
