For me, strength starts with my body, and as my body grows stronger and more competent, it fuels a strength in my spirit. It fuels the strength to
Say no and mean it.
Say yes and mean it.
Take a risk and fail.
Take a risk and succeed.
It fuels the strength to quit.
And, begin again.

Some call it National Groggy Day because you lose an hour of sleep. We like to think of it as gaining an extra hour of daylight for more running time on the trail or longer bike rides after work. What are you going to do with that extra hour of daylight?
Title Nine has a wonderfully creative bean counter who likes to share fun facts along with the regular ho-hum stats. One of our faves: in 2009 the gals in our retail stores walked (and likely skipped and hopped a bit) 55,404 miles during work!!! Do you use a pedometer to keep track of your tracks? If so how many steps do you take per day/month/year?
There's a lotta room to cover in there!
This last week marked our first Fitness Friday of 2010. For those who don’t know what Fitness Friday is, periodically throughout the year, we at Title Nine close down our offices and team up for an afternoon of sport. The activities vary and are designed to be challenging, fun and sometimes a bit whacky. All of it enhances our internal team and builds relationships with our fellow T9ers. For this last Fitness Friday, we speed skated, bowled and rock climbed. Monday morning was full of chatter about how much fun we all had and more than a few hilarious stories were exchanged. We’ve posted some photos (and video) of our adventures…now everyone’s going to know (if you didn’t know already) how silly we all are!
Do ya’ll participate in your own Fitness Fridays? We’d love to hear about how others are staying fit and building teams!
Atkins diet, Grapefruit Diet, Lo-Carb, No-Carb, Ice Cream Diet, Donut Diet. It’s enough to make ya crazy. Even such seemingly reasonable claims as organic, all-natural, and local can get elevated to cult status. How to make sense of it all?? There’s no money to be made in it, but the truth of the matter is the best “diet” of all is one that’s heavy on common sense and light on wishful thinking. A couple of my rules of the eating road: If I can’t pronounce it, I probably shouldn’t eat it. Avoid oxymoronic food: fat-free french fries, sugar-free cookies. When all else fails, I try to embrace moderation…just one donut. Got food tips of your own? Share em with us!
