Poets

Sunrise Poetry

It's the first day of our February Challenge: Dawn Patrol.  If you woke up this morning, like I did, you know that there is no time like the sun's first light to make you want to jot down some deep, poetic thoughts.  My very favorite poet, Mary Oliver, writes about the glory of early morning.

Word from the Creators

The Challenge

This week at Social Workout we've been trying to figure it all out. OK, not really ALL. We are figuring out how best to move forward with our challenges. We've spent the better part of the week analyzing, brainstorming, drinking a lot of coffee, drawing big arrows in our notepads and discussing what is to come next.

New Music

DJ Jazzy NPR

It's mid-February... probably a great time most of us need a new music playlist to get us going at the gym.  See National Public Radio's new workout mix.    The news and music powerhouse, known for its monotone on-air voices, is streaming pump-up songs for your fitness enjoyment.

Technology for Fitness

Let's Get Personal

BodyMedia, Inc. has introduced a new technology to take the guess work out of losing weight and increasing your fitness.  The company has long sold body monitors to track calories burned, steps taken, and sleep, but this new "coaching" technology, using IBM software, actually gives advice about what to do next.

New Year's Resolution

Happy 2012!

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

New Year, New Partnership

Looks like big news from Seattle. Back in May Buster Benson posted on EnjoymentLand that he was working on something new. Around that time, Jen McCabe, the cool woman who gave us imoveyou.com (now defunct), picked up from San Fran and moved north to join Buster on the project.

Believe It

On Being Your Best

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely...”
