What lies beneath......
Growth is always happening, even when it can't be seen.
As long as the conditions are present (Environment, Attention & Energy) growth is certain. It's really just a matter of science. However, if you remove or neglect one of the conditions required; your growth may be a lack thereof.
In whatever area of life you choose (Family, Personal, Business, Athletic) you must provide the proper conditions to let nature do it's thing. Too often we expect 'overnight' success and give up. Often we provide little attention to something and expect things to change immediately. It doesn't happen. Growth takes time, Growth takes patience, Growth takes faith, even when no sign of growth exists. Or does it?
This weekend Francesca & I bought 2 pots and placed soil and flower seeds in them both. We gave them some water and placed them in our kitchen. Each morning we ask them "How's your growth today?" A little silly I know. But the flower/soil represents growth for all things. It will take several weeks of Water, Attention & Sunlight before we see 'growth' but beneath the surface (as in life) things are happening!
As a couple, as a business, as people Francesca & I have grown tremendously over the last year.

Frank PucherWhile some people find contentment in the 'Status Quo' I would suggest that the 'Status Quo' is the reason most people are unhappy in their lives.Developing the wisdom & patience to enable real growth is no easy task. So I offer you the flower/soil exercise. Give it a try. Like the flower yet to bloom is a new YOU the world has yet to see.

WWJD?
Last night was a great night @ Casa de Pucher. Our Fitness 121 TEAM was over to enjoy a little get together over good food, good wine and good laughs. We discussed where we have been, where we are going and the most important question of all "What would Jesus drive?"
Parked outside of St. Rose of Lima Church (God's House) in East Hanover sits a new LEXUS!
I was a little surprised at the notion or insinuation that Jesus preferred a LEXUS. I would have assumed that a man of his stature would drive a Mercedes. Of course no one really knows; perhaps he would really appreciate the new AUDI? With it's comfortable leg room and understated elegance, he may find it's appeal irresistible once he slipped behind the wheel?
One thing is for certain, our TEAM had a great evening, (no matter what's parked in Jesus's garage) Francesca & I feel very blessed to have spend the evening with the TEAM.
This will be a GREAT week. Bring on the Monday!

Fitness 121 Recommends October 09'
Increasing use is being made of the foam rollers at Fitness 121.
Foam rollers are commonly used for balance training, self-myofascial release, self massage and stretching. Foam rollers are also used for Golf swing practice, Yoga and Pilates.
All four foam roller variations can be used for balance training. The half round foam roller versions can be used flat side down as a starting point. Progress to the round foam rollers when you've mastered the half round rollers.
Description:
A molded foam roller that does not contain cells making them last three times longer than traditional celled white foam rollers.
Unlike traditional celled foam rollers that break down and flatten out, these molded rollers do not have cells and therefore will last much longer.
Available in 4 sizes Benefits/Uses
Use round rollers for stability exercises and myofascial release and alignment and half round rollers for balance and stabilization.
Improves alignment and hip mobility while increasing core flexibility.
Also can be used for Pilates, Yoga, Massage Therapy, and Fitness Training.

Jersey Shore Half Marathon 09'
Sunday we had a small contingent in Sandy Hook, NJ. Competing in their 1st Half-Marathons were Chris Adams, Katie Gardner and Gary Pucher.
Each of them were looking to run under 2hrs and then some.
Chris ran an impressive 1:45 (with me fetching his water!)
-Quite a fine performance considering he's only been running for several months now.
Katie ran a very strong race in 1:51, despite some side stitches the last mile..she kept the hammer down and ran strong to the finish.
Gary (all 200lbs of muscle of him) ran 1:55 and felt great the whole way. He is on pace to run sub 4hrs in his Marathon debut this January!
Francesca, Lori & I ran along (for fun) and were very proud of our competitors efforts. Afterwards, we met up for some post race brunch and enjoyed the beautiful weather we were given.
What did you do this weekend?
