What does your daily fitness regime consist of? I have set a personal goal to be a top age-group triathlete for 2006. My weekly training consists of running 15-20 miles, swimming 3,000-4,000 yards, bicycling 30-50 miles, Pilates and stretching.
Other than the obvious benefits of good health, how has being fit improved your life? I have more confidence and energy. I am an evangelist for a healthy lifestyle helping promote over a dozen bicycle races in Central Iowa for the All9Yards.com cycling team, including the new Water Works Park Fitness Fest for bicycle racers and runners this summer.
How do you balance work, life and working out? Time management is essential. I plan for long-term goals and, be flexible for immediate opportunities with the three companies I help market. I train before sunlight or during my lunch at the downtown YMCA.
Has fitness always been important to you, or was there an incident or realization that motivated you? I have always been active. My diagnosis and treatment since 1999 for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis has helped me become more focused on my health including diet, exercise and stress levels.
What's your one guilty pleasure? Only one? Ice cream from Westy's in Clive - always for a job well done - and I do a lot of good work.
What's your favorite workout song? My wife, Mandy, has me hooked on Ben Folds' song "Narcolepsy." She played it for the Dam to Dam 20K and hit her goal time. I used it the very next day at the Pigman Sprint Triathlon and had a great race!
What do you eat for breakfast? One slice of whole-wheat toast with peanut butter and either a berry-yogurt smoothie or oatmeal with dried fruit.
Complete the following sentence: People would be surprised if they knew ... I have to motivate myself for every workout - it doesn't come naturally. I have to set a goal and work for it like everyone else.
Any advice to others on getting started? Setting a goal and telling others is the best way I've found to motivate me. That way, others can (and will) ask about your progress and help you where they can. I've found some great training partners who can listen, offer advice and push me when necessary.
