Announcement: "Beat Blake" Prize Pool Challenge.. Winner takes all ($$$)
|
Hello all, We’re just one week away from the Mental Health for Men Marathon—and that means it’s time to launch the Beat Blake Prize Pool Challenge! Here’s the Challenge: This is a winner-takes-all challenge. A prize pool will be up for grabs, and if you post the fastest 10K time, you’ll take home all of it. So, who is Blake? Blake is my marathon teammate...and your competition. He’s a former roommate of mine, now a Navy physician who’s been deployed on an aircraft carrier for the past nine months. He’s been training for Ironman Texas using the ship’s gym—a rickety treadmill which is powered inconsistently by the carrier’s nuclear reactors. Safe to say, Blake’s training hasn’t been easy… but he’s fast. My money’s on him. (Blake doesn't know about this challenge yet... to keep it fair so he can't get extra miles in. He'll read about it when he opens this email.) Here’s how it works:
Think you can beat Blake? This is your chance to show your speed and support a great cause. Sign up, submit your time, and go for the win!

He’d started exercising. Nothing was really working. So we looked at his eating habits. “I...
“When marriages fail, it is not increasing conflict that is the cause. It is decreasing affection and emotional responsiveness...” ― Sue Johnson Hey all, I was working with a couple months back... They'd been fighting about the same thing for three years. Dishes in the sink. Sounds trivial, right? But it wasn't really about the dishes. It was about the fact that every time he left them there, she felt invisible and her time was being disrespected. And every time she brought it up, he said...
Part 3 of 4: The science behind lasting relationships "Happy couples aren't smarter, richer, or more psychologically astute than others. But in their day-to-day lives, they have hit upon a dynamic that keeps their negative thoughts and feelings about each other from overwhelming their positive ones." ― John M. Gottman Hey all, Over the past two weeks, we've covered Gottman's Four Horsemen. If you missed out here are the links below. Part 1: Criticism and Contempt Part 2: Defensiveness and...
