We are all on a trip, or a journey if you will, through life. We each have our own perspective on that trip and this is mine:
As a kid I played team sports. Primarily Soccer, but I also played baseball, basketball, football, and roller hockey. In my 20's I "participated" in road bike races. I did some TimeTrials, Criteriums, and Road races, all the while trying to hang onto the back of the pack. There was a constant theme of not training properly or enough.
During the summer of 2010 I received my Vibram Five Fingers as a gift. I thought they would be a neat "shoe" to play around with. Little did I know, they would connect me to the ground and reconnect me with a playful exuberance I had never experienced while running. I absolutely loved running in these things. I could feel every crack and pebble. With every step I could feel my foot flex, recoil, and spring. This was exhilarating and took me from a place of hating running to a land of running delight.
Coincidentally my family had just started eating a vegan diet. I started feeling refreshed and healthy for the first time in my life as well as getting down to my Sophomore High School weight of 190lbs.
All of this allowed me to start loving running. As my Garmin record shows (My Activities recorded by my Garmin 305) I didn't run very often or for a very long distance, but it was fun when I did go out.
I then discovered Weightlifting (the Olympic variety) and High Intensity training. Amanda (my Sole partner) became a Certified Personal Trainer and we opened Hidden Strength Fitness in Ramona, CA where we are helping people find their own Hidden Strength.
Please join us on our life journey and flow with us as it finds its own path.
Peace and love,
-Kori
