What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Honoring our veterans and the Marine Corps

This next week contains 2 major holidays.

The first began on November 10th, 1775, in Philadelphia, PA, it was in a bar near the docks of Old Town Philadelphia, named Tun Tavern. I am talking about the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Every Marine from the youngest to the oldest, Boot to Salty, takes time to celebrate this day each year. Some will attend a Marine Corps Ball, which is a very formal event,others will get together with some old friends and talk about the "old days". A few sit in quiet and drink to there fellow Marines who have given there lives. Not all Marines celebrate in the same way but once a year all Marines all around the world on one day celebrate together. It is a tradition that has been going for more than 230 years. So I encourage you on November 10th to raise your glass to all the Marines around the world, those that are alive and those that are in another other place.


The Second is November 11th, Veterans Day. Over the years I have talked to many, many, many veterans, ranging from the very old to the very young. It use to be that veterans were considered to be the older generation,today we find that a veteran can be as young as 18. I look at the difference from the early wars such as WW I, WW II. The mentality was much different. The American spirit was very much alive. People wanted to serve there country in the military. Now people do it for a variety of other reasons. Whatever the reason men and women of the military chose to serve matters not to me. Only the fact that they did choose to serve. And for all of those that serve or have served our county, to protect us from our enemies both foreign and domestic, I would like to say thank you. I appreciate what you do and what you have done. If you see a veteran or service member this week, tell them thank you and raise a glass to them. They will probably raise a glass back in appreciation.

This weeks workouts will be in honor of Veterans and Marines. I will pull famous quotes of Veterans and Marines. Hopefully this will help motivate and push you through your workouts. We are also going to transition to a different workout routine. It is very important that you post you data so I can track if you are over training and if you need to be pushed more. Remember to gauge the workouts for your level of fitness. If you have any questions please post them and I will answer in the comments or e-mail me.
