Kenney Middle School PE Teacher

“I work out every day, but I try to break it up, so [some days] I run, some days I ride, some days I lift weights, some days I do CrossFit and some days I kind of combine the two. My real goal is to physically challenge myself every single day. In some avenues, whether it's riding bikes uphills, whether it's running laps around a track and running bleachers while carrying a weight, or doing a workout in a certain amount of time in my garage, my goal is to physically engage every single day in something that's really difficult. What [biking] does for me is [give] a physical outlet. It gives me time to think about workouts I want to do with the kids. It gives me time to either ride by myself and listen to music or ride with friends and it is as much spiritual as it is physical. At the end of the day, I just look forward to staying healthy. I think that's probably the single most important thing: I want to be physically and mentally healthy.”
