ISSN Conference June 25 and 26th

Having any excuse to visit Clear Water, FL. would have me on the next plane out here. I have to say that it is exactly like Cancun but with out the "Mexico" :)

Thanks to EvolultioNutrition I am working and learning at the ISSN (International Society of Sports Nutrition) Expo. The expo is filled with people interested in sports nutrition and the science of supplements...my kind of people.

I have had the opportunity to sit in on many lectures concerning specific scientific research on all things sports nutrition based. EvolutioNutrition is also getting more positive attention and feed back since it provides a much needed service to all fitness professionals and any individual concerned with there nutritional health and performance.

After the expo and speakers on Friday we attended a Luau that had belly dancers and Zumba dancers and I got a great shot of the CEO of ISSN dancing Zumba...good times.
Then Jeff and I head out to a local "dive bar" to play pool  (I am horrible) and watch a band. I don't know the name of the band but the drummer was phenominal! But I was in bed by 11:30 so I could catch more lectures in the morning before the last day of the expo.

Now it's back to San Diego! I am so grateful for this experience and all I have learned here at the ISSN expo. I am more motivated as an athlete, nutritionist, and future supplement line founder. Next show, NSCA in Orlando.

It all started w/ running..

When I first got inspired to get into fitness and lose weight I started running. I was in high school and I was someone who never thought I would run for FUN or be any good at it at that rate. But after passing the initial feeling of compressed lungs and sore muscles and joints, I found the first thing that forced my body to change.
I started running track and cross-counrty and found that not only was this a great hobby but I wasn't all that bad at it once I go into shape. So that's what started it all.
Even though weight training shapes your body the best, cardio (running) burns the calories to show off that shape. Plus, it's the one thing that I can truly say is like therapy to me...I mean..I can take my i-pod and some running shoes and run anywhere!
So my new goal is break 8 min. miles in a half marathon...I almost did it when I was 19, I should be able to do it 9 years later, right?
