[Podcast] Week 12 – New York Giants
Chris and I returned from Thanksgiving break and recorded week 12’s podcast. The Packers had their worst defeat in about five years. Here’s what we had to say about it. (Special guest: Steve – our resident Vikings fan)
Note: we had one editing issue so one section may be a little our of order or missing a part. Sorry.
Thanksgiving 2012
Every year I get this feeling of frustration that we pile our thanksgivings into one day. I think (no, I know) we would be much better off making it a daily practice to be thankful. I have been talking to the kids all week about what they’re thankful for. They’ve come up with food, hands, and family. Not bad. As for Katie and me, it’s been tougher this week. I was sick Sunday and Monday, Katie is sick last night into today. You can imagine how the flu makes it difficult to be thankful. Yet I am reminded about this passage in the Bible:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” – Philippians 4:6
In everything is pretty tough to wrap your mind around. But I’m guessing that it can be roughly translated “in everything.” In health, in sickness, in good times, and in bad. We are instructed to make our requests to the Lord. That should be our ambition.
It’s a crazy morning, so my thoughts aren’t as concise as I was hoping. So let me jump right to a few things I’m thankful for and I’d love to hear yours. You can just list them or include some details.
- Parents: Katie was making a couple dishes for Thanksgiving tomorrow at her dad’s house. My parents graciously jumped in to make them for her.
- Nancy’s Book Club: We have a family book club (thanks Uncle Paul and Aunt Jeri!) and we’re reading a book called “Emotionally Healthy Spirituality.” Katie and I are four chapters in and we’re really enjoying the conversation we’re having and the challenge it’s bringing to the growth of our family and our relationship.
- Mr. Lecher’s coaching: My defensive coach in high school instilled in us the value of making adjustments in football, then in life. This is an essential skill as I grow as a husband and father, at school and at work.
Maybe it’s one thing, maybe it’s a list of 20 strong. Maybe the come right to the top of your mind, maybe you need five minutes of silence before the hectic holidays begin to come up with just one thing you’re thankful for. Maybe you post in the comments, maybe you say it alone in your mind. Whatever your style, be thankful.
[Podcast] Week 11 – Bye week
This week Chris and I returned to the podcast after a couple weeks off. The Packers had a bye week, so we discussed the halftime of the Packers season and looked ahead to the Lions.
[Podcast] Week 7 – St. Louis Rams
Last night Chris and I recorded week 7 Podcast. The Packers easily handled the St. Louis Rams 30-20. The game wasn’t as close as the score may indicate. Here’s how we broke down the game.

Turkey Trot Training
Let’s think ahead: Thanksgiving Day! I know it’s over a month away, but here’s the deal. If you’re anything like me (and my family), the food simply doesn’t get any better than that 4th Thursday in November. With all that food comes a little bit of guilt because all that food isn’t being negated by some physical activity. Well have you ever thought of running a Turkey Trot? You know, those Thanksgiving Day runs of 5 or 10K. Those runs that give you the ability to eat guilt-free the rest of Thanksgiving Day!
I think 2012 is the perfect year for you to complete your first 5K (3.1 miles for all you Americans). I’ve put together a training plan so that you can do it and feel good about it. It isn’t designed for you to go fast – it’s designed so that you can get to the finish line… and then on to that turkey and stuffing!
This plan is assuming you’ve done NO running up ’til this point. You can start this on Monday and I’ll get you to the finish line. The program consists of five weeks of training, three days per week. You can do that, right?
Each number is obviously miles. For first-time runners that may seem like a lot. Let me say this: you will be so surprised at how fast (and well) your body adapts to the stress you put on it. And as always, you can send me a question via this form and I’ll coach you through it.
What what do you say? Are you up for your first 5K?! You’ve got all the tools – your move.
[Podcast] Week 6 – Houston Texans
Here’s week 6 in the NFL – the Packers went to Houston and beat the previously undefeated Texans. Chris and I recorded this on a rainy night in Middleton, Wisconsin.
[Podcast] State of the Division
Chris had a great idea for this week’s podcast: get an update from all the teams in the NFC North. The only one he couldn’t find was a Lions rep – go figure! I hope you enjoy this week 4 wrap up.
Special thanks to Andy Pollasch, Steve Person, and Greg Barton for contributing to this podcast.
[Podcast] Week 5 – Colts
Announcing: Two Guys in a Garage Talking Football,with Chris and Hans.
(I promise the name will improve)
This summer I started to collaborate with my friend Chris about a podcast talking Wisconsin sports, specifically Packers football. This has been such a fun project to put together. We’ve recorded every week but this is the first one that’s finally made it online. There is literally no post-production, just a raw recording. In the next few weeks, we’ll add some other features and I’m looking forward to getting those out.
Our goals is simple: sit with a friend and a beer and talk football. Do it in front of a mic. Publish it.
We hope you enjoy. There will be ways to interact with the show in the next couple weeks.
Here’s our weekly podcast for week 5 of the NFL.
Training Openings Fall 2012
Yesterday ended a wonderful three-day Labor Day weekend. I could sure get used to those! It’s the unofficial end of summer which means two things: school and football. Sure, everyone makes a big deal out of New Year’s resolutions during that first week of January but the reality is that so many of us work on a school calendar… either we’re in school or our kids are.
The fall semester for me involves three big components: work, school, and business. I’m still in the business of helping people lead healthy and active lifestyles. Graduate school has continued to remind me how important this work is. Getting involved with the science of exercise, psychology, and physiology has ignited a fresh fire for this industry, and I look forward to sharing that with my readers this semester. But for now, it’s important for me to let you know that I have some training spot open for the fall semester.
I currently have two training sessions open Monday mornings. My biomechanics class will be meeting then and we’re actually still deciding if that will be 8:50-10:30 or 10:00-11:40. Either way – I have time for your health and wellness! So if you or anyone you know needs a personal trainer, head over to Hire Hans and let’s get started on your fitness plan.
