Inspiring ways to be well.

Location

DFW, TX

I am a swimmer at heart, but I find it difficult to meet people with goggles and a swim cap on and my face in the water, so I took up running (or limping at a fast clip) and cycling. I have raised money in support of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Colon Cancer Alliance, and others through triathlon, marathon, and cycling. I keep swimming pure and only swim for the fun of it. Best moment in life to date - swimming from Alcatraz without a wetsuit in 55 degree water. What made it so great? My mom was waiting for me on the shore. She has always been my biggest fan.

Namaste from India!

This tip is a quick one- Delhi is "foggy". That's what they say at the airport if your flight is delayed and what all the locals call it. It is not fog.

In 2009, ECA International ranked New Delhi as the worst city in the WORLD for air pollution. It is estimated that about 3,000 metric tons of air pollutants are emitted everyday in Delhi. Bring your inhalers. Bring a mask (even though it won't be sexy). Bring eye drops. Bring nasal spray. And lastly- talk to your physician BEFORE you come to Delhi.

Other than the "fog", India has been a beautiful place full of warm people. I recommend coming, as long as you come prepared.
