Fuel Bands, Crossfit, hashtags, New York and ME:

I landed this new gig in NYC. By new, I mean I've been here for 6 months and I still can't seem to grasp myself in what BEING in this city means. It means new fads, people who walk extremely fast, dog poop on the side walks, fancy bars with expensive wine, central park mayhem, tourists right and left, quiet upper east side, people just BEING. Its amazing when you walk down the street how many people are here. 

I leave for work at 5:45 am. Bagel shops are opening, sidewalks are being hosed down and the taxi drivers are lingering around the local bodega. Literally the city that never sleeps. Backpack and usually bright shoes, I come barreling into work usually at the 6:00 mark hits just in time to punch in. PUNCH IN?! I went from owning my own schedule to punching in...insanity. 

The gig: aka my title: Sports Performance Specialist at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Upper East side, Manhattan NY. Working with the #1 orthopaedic surgeons, world class physical therapists, exercise physiologists, and nutritionists. I'm the bottom of the totem pole, smallest fish in the tank, sometimes I go by nemo. Talk about world class...this place has it. I'm lucky to be a part of it. Which takes me into where I am now...

I'm sitting here starting my blog again, hoping you will continue to read and follow because to be honest, life just got more interesting. On my floor in a 500 sq foot apartment with a boot on my leg, I'm sitting here hoping to find a way back into the fitness world through a new perspective in rehabilitation techniques and understanding how exercise plays in to the practice individuals who may not be crossfitters, triathletes, or olympians. I'm slowing my roll and I hope you will roll along with me...
