Maybe his 1500 meter times wouldn't be what they use to be, but he continues to show that you can work hard and achieve new things even if you're past the age "they" say it's not … [Read more...] about A Note About Age

Say it, Do it! {attitude of gratitude}
I hear about sleep schedules quite often from my sister who has two boys, ages 4 and 2. Last week I felt like a baby being sleep trained. Deciding to make sleep a priority took discipline. I set my bed time between 9:30-10:00 and stuck to it, except for one night. Thursday night, I stayed up late and slept in, but got right back on schedule Saturday night.
