Congratulations Colonel Kanders!

I did it! I knocked out 100 push-ups this morning! My goal today was to get to 90 and once I got there I said what the heck it’s only 10 more. I must admit I had to take a couple of breaks on the last 10 but I made it through. What an exhilarating feeling! A GREAT way to start the day! I would like to donate my 100 to the Ronald McDonald House Foundation. I have a soft spot in my heart for families with kids who have to be in a hospital. Thank you for starting the challenge, it has changed my life. Steve

Inspiration from a key client


Who is 54 years of age suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. He was told he would be in a wheelchair within 6 months, nearly 6 years ago. Today, this accomplished gentleman carefully walked toward us and showed us his prowess at the one-armed push-up by doing several in a row in our main lobby Suffice to say, most of us simply struck a pose in his honor; but were inspired beyond words could say.


Believe and Be Fit.

Wired attempts the Peak at 4am on New Year's Day


I just wanted to let you know that I started the New Year by soloing Pikes Peak from the Crags and twice while I was on my snowshoe/hike/climb I stopped to do some pushups, only 25 each time but that was more than plenty as the hike was grueling. Thanks for making me feel a welcomed part of the team!


The steep trail of the Crags was covered with 12-24 inches of snow, some had been packed but up the steep sides I was breaking trail the whole way until I reached the windswept skree fields at the top. This is where I did my first set of 25 pushups. As I continued the trek along the ridge to Devil’s Playground I gazed in awe, and realized why all those people who thought I was crazy were missing out on the wonderful views that I got to take in on the very first day of 2010. I never actually summitted the peak itself, once I reached Devil’s Playground the exhaustion from 5 hours of constant pushing I perched myself upon a rock to take a few more photos and to call someone to meet me at the bottom to pull me out. This was my next set of 25 pushups.


The more energy I used the bigger my smile got, what I refer to as the “perma-grin” was plastered on my face. It has begun my year of firsts: My first solo attempt of Pikes Peak, first time from the Crags, first time to snowshoe, first time to get my truck stuck in the snow when I couldn’t get it out on my own, first time to do pushups on Pikes Peak. With all this behind me, I just want to say that I hope this year continues with firsts and bests of success in both my professional and personal life. Here’s to a bright new year!
