I finished my first Mountain Mist 50k yesterday. What a great day in the woods it was! From almost not happening to sleet covered rocks and icicles on the waterfalls we had it all. Fitness on the Move, LLC and I ran together all day and the miles flew by.

This pic was taken crossing Bankhead Parkway early in the race. Don't need to say much more really đŸ€Ł

Four days out from a goal I started working towards 5 months ago. I've covered 100 miles on a horse and 100 miles on a bike and now it's time to try covering 100 miles on foot.

Friday at 7am I will stand on the start line of the Mamba 100 miler filled with gratitude that I am there, anxiety about what the day ahead will bring but also knowing I did the work to get there.

So many long runs over the last 20+ weeks. Several snakes. Starts in the dark. An overnight run. A self supported 50k. A road marathon. And so many other runs that blend together.

Just a few short runs this week till the big day!

Short Spine ≠ Hip Hinge

One of the most common sticking points I see in Short Spine is missing the lift through the ribs and core.

Instead of initiating with deep abdominal engagement and spinal articulation, people often end up hinging too much at the hips and dumping the weight into the neck and shoulders.

This misses the whole point — Short Spine is about control, core activation, and moving segment by segment through the spine, not just flinging the legs over and hoping for the best.

If you’re feeling more neck than core, it’s time to reset your approach. 👇

Think: ribcage floats, core draws in, spine rolls up and down with intention.

If you're feeling like Tommy the Turtle after a workout you might be under fueled - both for the event and in general.

You can’t out-train an empty tank. If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time to rethink how you’re fueling:

1. You’re always wiped.
Not the “I had a good workout” tired — more like “Why do I need a nap after walking up the stairs?” tired. That’s your body saying, help.

2. You’re getting sore, but not stronger.
If you're constantly sore but not making gains, guess what? Your muscles aren't recovering — because they don’t have the resources to rebuild.

3. You’re craving everything in sight.
It’s not a lack of willpower — it’s your body screaming for energy. And yes, that 9pm snack attack might be your body trying to fix what your pre-workout meal didn’t.

Your training isn't the problem. Underfueling is.

Age is not a limit—it's a reason to get stronger.

In this room: a hip replacement, a knee replacement, fibromyalgia, and decades of life experience.

And yet, here they are—lifting, sweating, and proving that strength training can be adapted for every body. It’s never too late to start, and you’re never too old to get stronger.

You might think we launched into an intense gym routine to get these results... but the real magic? đŸ”„ We simply tweaked her nutrition.

She already had a strength training base. But her fueling wasn't quite matching her athletic goals Once we adjusted her food to support her goals, her body started burning fat—and those beautiful muscles she’d already been working on started to shine through.

We increased, yes increased calories and changed when some of those calories were eaten.

No crash diets. No hours of cardio. Just smart, sustainable changes.

This is your reminder: your body wants to work with you. Sometimes, it just needs the right fuel. 🌟

Haven't given a pull-up update in quite some time. To be honest I stepped back from working directly on them for a couple months. The goal just wasn't reinforcing enough đŸ€·

However, still programmed lots of foundation work for my lats and back. So I was still working on them indrectly 3 times a week 😉

When I started back on the pull up train about 2 months ago I was using 65lbs of assistance on the pull up machine.

And here we are now:

âžĄïžVideo 1 - 25lbs assistance!!
âžĄïžVideo 2 - 12lbs assistance.

Major progress :)
