Miller Livestock Co., Inc.

Some pic's from Aaron and Melissa's farm in Kinsman Ohio.

I buy all my meat and eggs from these great people. Have turned on my friends to this great people and everyone is enjoying the great local grown produce and the idea, now get this, buying food from the great people that grow it.

Is that great concept or what???

Real food, real people, about as basic as it gets.

Enjoy the week.

Chilling into Fall and having some serious fun



Having some serious fun as I head into the Fall/Winter season.

Did an underwater pumpkin carving event, proceeds went to Breast Cancer Fund, then had a good time attending two dances over Halloween.
I'm dancing about 4 times per week, trying to move from clueless beginner to basic clueless intermediate, I'm definitely a work in progress.

I've met a whole new group of people, both from diving and dancing.

The dancing is very challenging for me, so I look at it as a great workout and once I get the hang of a few basic dances, will be great fun. Watching You Tube and attending some general public dances really introduces you to the fact that there are some great dancers out there. I guess the TV shows have renewed interest in Ballroom dancing.

Training for the upcoming Gobble Wobble 5K on Thanksgiving, hoping to get into the low 21's, be in the 19's by Spring. Still doing a basic SS program in the gym, but only hitting it twice as week, as I'm trying to build weekly mileage to 30-35 miles, which is going to be a stretch with the crappy weather coming.

Have a great week, post more later.

Bigger, Better, Faster, Longer 40 Minutes With Dan John

Great interview in T-Nation with Dan John. Dan is a great guy, I've had a few email conversations with him. He's on my To Meet list. Enjoy the article--Jay

You've probably seen that photo of Coach Dan John. You know the one, where Dan is dragging a weighted sled through the Utah snow carrying a sandbag and wearing only a T-shirt?

Knowing Dan, he was probably going uphill too. Both ways.

When it comes to strength and conditioning, Dan certainly walks the walk. And drags the sled. And hoists the barbell.

Which makes interviewing Dan a breeze. Here's how you do it: Call Dan and turn on a digital recorder. Say a word or two, such as "Tabata" or "conditioning" or "kettlebell" and he's off to the races. Your job as an interviewer is complete. Dan will take it from there.

And that's exactly what happened when I talked to him last week. I mentioned that TMUSCLE has a new forum category — conditioning— and off he went.

Goals vs. Behaviors-from Dan John

Simple stuff from Dan John--Jay

Goals vs. Behaviors

The One Minute Manager said it best: Look at your goals. Look at your behaviors. Does your behavior match your goals? It's the million dollar question for those of us in the strength world: Does your behavior match your goals? You see, it's one thing to have a goal. It's quite another to line your behaviors up with your goals. Think about it.
