Sights & Sounds from the 2018 Dion Snowshoe National Championships which took place in Woodford, Vermont at the Prospect Mountain Nordic Ski Center! They had received 40+ inches of snow just a couple of days before race weekend.

Winter Storm Quinn brought up to 3 feet of heavy, wet snow and wind gusts over 50 mph to the Northeast, causing more than 1 million power outages. Here are just a couple of fun short videos from our experience.

The kettlebell swing is a movement that all athletes should include in their training and is for anyone looking to increase their general fitness and functional strength. You are training and conditioning the body as a whole. Everything from your cardiorespiratory to grip strength will be challenged.

Over the Martin Luther King Jr weekend, a few of us headed up to the Adirondack Mountains for a little winter camping, a Giant Mountain adventure and the WSSF Snowshoe National Championships that was taken place that Sunday.

Had a little fun the other day taken the Spot Rallye for its first ride as I made adjustments and worked on dialing in the fit. Roads were a bit snow covered in Harriman State Park... 

In the last few months of 2017, I found some great new inspiration for my health and wellness business, Happy Belly Life. That time and inspiration manifested in Healthnut.

We headed up to the Catskills of New York for our last adventure of the year with some members from the MPF Adventure club to check out part of the WTF 100 course which is a new race for 2018 and includes a bit of off trail navigation.

It’s our favorite time of year when it begins to feel like winter...and it felt like that today in Harriman State Park, NY! Winter begins next Thursday, December 21st and ends March 19th, 2018. This is a great time of year to head out for a hike!

"When I downloaded my GPS data from Catstail this year, the first “top result” listed was 400 meters in 71 seconds, my second best 400 on Strava. That was how we started the race. I don’t wear my watch for everything, but Catstail is a technical trail marathon with 7k of climb that takes 4.5 hours. Yes, the first 400m is downhill on a road, but that still doesn’t really make 4:44 pace a good idea. To put this in perspective, my mile PR is 4:34. This was a new level of “Coming in hot.”

Here is some footage from a ride on 11.21.17 in the New York Putnam County area.

A few weeks ago, Scott won the Barkley Fall Classic 50k in Tennessee and was awarded a highly coveted slot into the Barkley Marathons next spring.  Scott reached out to me to get some bushwhacking experience...
