Get Inspired?

The week before last; my friend Brian and I were talking he suggested I join him in training with chances for Children for the San Diego Marathon.

I got excited about this for a day or so, I have already run the San Diego Marathon many years ago, had my best time, swore I would never run another marathon again. I have said that after every marathon I have run. So back to the story

I came home and chatted with my wife a 5yr Boot camp veteran. She said I would feel much better if I did

My 8yr old daughter is a competitive gymnast that works out for 9+ hours every week. She is a ROCK! The kid is RIPPED! I would put my money on her for a sit up/ push up contest with any boy 3-4 years older than her.

She does the real push ups! Not the “girly ones” The kid is 8yrs old! I haven’t spent 9+ hours in a gym in any month in my life she is doing in a week!




Yes that is her receiving her second FIRST PLACE medal in last weekends meet.


I have another daughter a 10year old that is a torpedo in the water She is at swim practice 4-5 nights a week. sydney

Me? Well I ran my last half Marathon in 2010 without a day of training. (don’t try this…) My last marathon was run January 2005. Basically I have been sitting on my Gluteus Maximus the past 7 years! I have been noticing that my dry cleaners have been shrinking my pants and shirts. (Damn Them!).

So I live in a house with three very fit, and very active females. What is a guy to do?

GET INSPIRED!

Yesterday I talked a friend into creating a personalized work out for me to include running, interval training, weights and swimming. I have my wife educating me on what to eat and not eat, and how often. (Something about if it comes in a bag, or a box don’t put it in your mouth. I am learning) She is preparing my breakfasts , snacks and dinners, as well as coaching me on my lunches. My youngest daughter is pushing me to do push-ups and sit- ups. Want to know how humiliating it is to have an 8yr old girl kick your ass in sit-ups and push ups? My oldest daughter gets up at 4:45am with me and rides her bike along side of me while I do my 4 miles!

Where am I going with all of this? I have a team behind me, They have all the tools I need, to help me make 2012 and my life healthier and happier. GET INSPIRED!

Now how do I tie this into work? If you are a REALTOR… Put my Magnus Title Team behind you to make your business in 2012 and beyond healthier and happier! We have the experience and tools to make you succeed! Call me (480) 389-4290

A New Series to Debut..

I plan to start a new blog series... I am not sure what to call it yet?

You see my wife works on weekends so my two daughters and I are always looking for something fun to do. I am sure this situation is not unique to us, so I thought I might share some of the things we do.

I am toying with a few titles.

Please let me know which is catchier?

I am Back!!!

Once upon a time....... There were many many many Proxy errors. My patience wore thin, I left the world of Active Rain.

I received e-mails and calls from friends and others that I intorduced to AR, wondering if I was OK.

The story was too long to tell.

It has a happy ending after playing phone tag for over a week with Stephen Graham of A/R I am back!

So those of you in Arizona that had the opportunity to catch and pass me in the last 5 months.... I will be the guy in the rearview mirror that is getting bigger and bigger. LOOK OUT!!!

Thank you Active Rain!!! Thank you very much Stephen Graham.

The Mac's Attack!

 

"The Mac's Attack"   
I assure you this is not about Mc Donald's, But instead it is about Mac's Broiler and Tap in Tempe, Arizona
I actually crave food from here!  That all by itself says a lot!  I am a "foodie"  But I don't really crave any certain kind of food.  That is until I tried the "burger and a beer lunch special at Mac's Broiler and Taproom.
At home my wife resticts us to white meat...Turkey, Chicken, Albacore Tuna.  One day a buddy and I tried out Mac's Broiler and Tap  6430 S. McClintock Dr. Tempe, AZ 85283  480-755-3050   Join their Fan page on Facebook It was a pleasant surprise!  Both of us thought the burger was the best we have had, I hear the French dip is also very good!  http://macsbroilerandtap.com/

I have been there three times in the last month and I am never disappointed,  The burger is cooked to a "Perfect Medium-Rare"  My favorite is the Jalpeno Buger, cajun fries and a pint of O'dells IPA.  
                                                


This place has ties that go back to  The Firehouse Restaurant that served great steaks to patrons of Tempe from their location on Apache Blvd. for many years.

If you live in the area stop by and give it a try.  If you visit Phoenix, make this a must do!
