Week 40 – David Brezinski

11th California International Marathon in the books. A little over a week after I had pulled up with my hamstring issue during the annual Thanksgiving Run to Feed the Hungry, I decided I’d give the CIM a try wanting to keep my streak alive (plus, I just really enjoy the CIM and running through the […]

Week 37 – Dirk Herfurth

Family time! My sister Anke is in town from Germany with Lynda, my niece, my sister’s boyfriend René and his son Nick. Full house! I will take some time of work to show them all around California. We went to the usual tourist spots first – the Capitol and Old Town, including breakfast at IHOP. […]

Week 36 – Dirk Herfurth

My friend and practice partner David san posted recently about our Sunday coffee ritual. Same as for him I enjoy this quiet time with discussions and good hot brew. I already talked about the positive impacts of turmeric and curcumin, which I use regularly to improve my heart and joint health. However, there are a […]

Week 35 – Dirk Herfurth

The numbers for “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer – Sacramento” are in. The whole event raised $413,640 with a goal of $277,000. This is truly amazing to end the fund drive with a plus of over $130k! The vision of this event is to a future where our children no longer live with the threat […]

Week 39 – David Brezinski

Another ailment…but pressing on! It has been a rough past few months for my body. First I had an extended period of painful bursitis in my right foot/heel. It didn’t really bother me too much when exercising or sparring, but would throb at night while trying to sleep and wake me up. It has since […]

Week 38 – David Brezinski

Sparring and post-sparring coffee–the ultimate WAKE UP! Dirk-san and I have a bit of a tradition whereas we go to our favorite local East Sacramento coffee shop after sparring and have some coffee (and often a pastry). After sparring for 20-30 minutes there’s not much better than sipping on a cup of joe and feeling […]

Week 37 – David Brezinski

“He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.” – The Hollies I carried a 60-pound load on Veteran’s Day, doing 5 laps around the State Capital (5.5 miles). Some have asked, “Why?” Carrying a heavy military rucksack was not solely rooted in the challenge of doing so, but more a symbolic action and metaphor to highlight many […]

Week 36 – David Brezinski

Not just the destination; it is the journey! A friend of mine is planning to run his first marathon. Interestingly enough, not more than a year ago this same friend was overweight and expressed concern about his lack of energy. It has been wonderful to see him shed many pounds, tone up and have a […]

Week 35 – David Brezinski

Martial Arts Open Tournament – No medals but a good experience! Last Saturday I had the opportunity to attend a tournament in West Sacramento with a group of others representing our dojo. Well represented we were! I only participated in one event, being kata. I was assigned to the same group as sensei Oliver and […]
