OK, the title of this post may be a little harsh, but if we’re being honest with one another, they both do suck. The point is, only one is supposed to.

During my time out at Impact Basketball’s Competitive League, I was once again shown the power of social media and in particular Twitter. During my layover in Phoenix, Arizona, I sent a challenge out to 11 year NBA veteran and three point sharpshooter Damon Jones.  I knew Damon would be at Impact’s event in Las […]

Sitting in the last of a long row of folding metal chairs lining the sideline of the court I studied the footwork of Rudy Gay, Roger Mason and Jared Dudley as they went through their morning court workout with the founder of Impact Basketball, Joe Abunassar. My eyes red and heavy from lack of sleep […]

To Run…or Not To Run!?!? (The ? with a Joyful Answer)

June 7, 2011

In 2010 I went from hating running to enjoying it.  From sitting on my couch to running over 530 miles.  I ran two half marathons.  I ran during the week in the mornings or evenings for fun.   From last summer through my injury, on the last day of January, I ran every Saturday morning (8-10 […]

P90X (Doing MY Best and Forgetting The Rest)

April 19, 2011

I don’t like lifting heavy things.  Never have. I suppose if you’ve ever seen me in person on in any picture that is pretty evident. 🙂 What I do like is GETTING BETTER! At the time of my injury, I was in the best shape of my life.  I could run for days, I was trim […]

Dear MJ (A Letter to Michael Jordan)

March 10, 2011

Dear MJ:

When you came into the league (NBA) in 1984 I was seven years old. My big focus was getting to know my new classmates and learning how to read small books with a few words in a big font on each page. You went on to win Rookie of the Year with a stat line of 28.2ppg, 6.5rpg, 5.9apg, and 2.4spg. I had a knack for being able to spell and led my class in gold stars.

I Feel Alive Right Now!!!

December 30, 2010

2010 began like most years for me. Dick Clark did the countdown, the ball dropped, fireworks went off, and the calendar changed. Truthfully, I’ve never been much into new year’s resolutions because they don’t typically work.

It’s Not Going to Be Easy, Nor Should It Be! (Why YOU Should Keep Pushing Forward!)

November 11, 2010

There was almost no post today. I had closed my macbook and given myself an excuse to miss my first scheduled posting. Last night I came home from playing hoops with the intent of finishing up a post for this morning.  Instead, what began with one text message from a close friend, led to a […]

Impact Basketball RECAP (Thank You Edition)

November 9, 2010

I sat in my car, still in the parking lot of Impact Basketball.  I sat in silence, reflecting. I had just finished my final Impact Basketball workout on Saturday morning. I thought about where I was just eleven months ago.  How I didn’t exercise.  How I had basically given up the game of hoops.  How […]
