Step 2. Drink coffee for energy, and Foam roll those muscles

Skip those artificial energy drinks that are full of God knows what, and choose a cup of black coffee.

Same results, no chemicals added.

And remember to hydrate as well.

Step 3. Get Pumped Up!

Black coffee mixed with 1/2 scoop Sunwarrior protein powder and 1 packet of Truvia.

Mocha-Hot Chocolate-Heaven in a glass

Along with 1/2 sliced Fuji apple, this combination gave me an awesome energy boost that lasted through a class of crazy intervals, isolated climbs, and full out downhill sprints.

I can confidently say that I rocked this class from start to finish, which is one of the best feelings in the world.

I’m a frequent runner of Lake Quannapowit, and today was the first time that I saw swans on the property.

I’ve seen plenty of geese, dogs, bugs, and elderly men sun bathing shirtless, but I’ve never seen swans.

say that 10x fast.

I guess they’ve been grazing the area for a long time. I would love to know how I’ve missed them…Runner’s peripheral vision I guess.

Glad I parked my car in this lot today Smile.

Best combo ever

As you know, tomorrow marks the end of a work week and the beginning of a new month; A month that I want you to make all about you.

It’s a fresh start. Do with it what you will, and do it well.

Begin a 31 day fitness challenge, tackle an obstacle that’s been holding you back, aim to finally start and finish that book, drink more water, neglect junk and processed foods, or finally visit that place you’ve been dying to see.

Let’s start June off on the right foot; reenergized, motivated, and grabbing life by the horns.
