| News from ET | December 21, 2010 |
Hello Friends,
 As 2010 comes to a rapid close and 2011 is upon us, I'm reminded of one of my favorite Daughtry songs, "What About Now." For me, these three simple words when put together shout out a profound call to action. There is no better time to get on the field of life and achieve your dreams. Not tomorrow, not someday, but today, right now!
Every day at ET we witness athletes getting it done, moving one step closer to their goals. This action creates a highly charged environment of can-do and we just get it done, period. As you plan out 2011 and your resolutions, we encourage you to come join us. At EXPERIENCETriathlon, we believe anything is possible!
Coach Joe

 I am a runner now!
by Gloria R.
Today, I am a much stronger and more confident person for having become a runner.
I met Coach Joe through another trainer about seven months ago. At that time, I had just completed a couple of months of circuit training, had reached losing 15 pounds through a weight loss program provided through work and felt it was time for another challenge. I felt the next logical thing to do was to run. Running had always been my biggest challenge. I never really liked running or tried to incorporate it into my workout routine. I was always an elliptical or stationary bike type of person. I remembered trying to join a running club a few summers ago. However, I always felt like I was never progressing or had the time required to become a strong runner.
Things changed when I met Coach Joe last February. When I met him I was upfront and told him I had three days a week, at most, to dedicate to running or working out in general. I knew being a single mom, working in the hectic IT field, in downtown Chicago, with a son preparing to go off to college would leave me with just a few hours a week to dedicate to my work out routine.

PhD RD LDN
Team Dietitian
Getting Back to the Basics: Healthy Eating
It's the new year, and all of last year's dietary transgressions must be overcome! Sound familiar? It's so easy to let the holidays take over our eating habits as once-a-year treats appear in our homes and offices. Now it's time to regain control and get back into healthy eating. Since goal setting has been covered in Coach's Corner, I'm going to focus on the basics of healthy eating, both healthy habits and a healthy diet.
