VERVE is On the Move
In the fitness business, you are always approached by companies that want you to promote their products. It is always a tough call. In the past 6 months, I was approached by Cindy Smith, who recommended I try VERVE. I am always on the road teaching classes and visiting clients - I have to pack up the cooler and make sure I am getting all the nutrition I require on a daily basis. Eating out is not an option for me.
VERVE has provided me with nutrition, plus it tastes like a treat. It is packed with nutrients, plus aloe, green tea extract, mangosteen and yes, that small jolt of caffeine equivalent to one cup of coffee.
Supplements do offer benefits, especially in our crazy world of not eating properly. VERVE is not meant to be a meal replacement, but a compliment to a healthy diet.
If you are interested, go to www.myvemma.com/pattiwaller to get more information or contact Cindy Smith, my business partner at www.cgsmith@earthlink.net.

Pilates on the Waterfront
Have you ever lived somewhere and took it for granted? Three days a week (MWF), I instruct a pilates fusion class on the Manteo Waterfront at Marshes Light (www.marsheslight.com). We are blessed to overlook the beautiful waters of Shallowbag Bay, feel the warm morning sun and we have even had dolphin sightings. We all spend so much time rushing around, that we don't take time to appreciate the natural beauty of our surroundings. I have instructed for years in studios - this studio tops them all!!!

An Athlete in the Making....
Congratulations to Hunter Snyder....Hunter completed his first full 5k during the Nags Head Woods Yuengling 5k....I have had the pleasure of coaching Hunter in both swimming and running. Hunter is very much his own person, with his own likes and dislikes of training, even at the age of 7. Unfortunately age group racing can be unfair with kids...he competed in the 6-12 year old group. He placed 4th, under the 11/12 year olds, but first overall in his age. Quite an accomplishment for this young man.
Not only did he complete this race, but he later insisted on running the kid's fun run...he spared no energy. Once his Dad, the competitive Jim Snyder (who he takes after quite a bit), harnessed him up, he left to complete a little league baseball game.
Hunter is a dynamic kid, works hard in school, plays all sports with heart and has a great family....it is an honor and privalege to coach such a person...

Inspiration and Determination
Last weekend was the 1st Outer Banks Duathlon. Athletes competed in either a sprint distance or olympic distance race .
Gigi Melugin of Manteo completed her very first race at the age of 56. An avid swimmer, she was quite nervous since the swim was cancelled, but with a little motivation she decided to give it a try. The distance, run a mile, bike 15 and run 3.1 miles. She started back into fitness to lose weight, but now she is just excited about "getting fit". Her husband and 2 sons were in attendance to cheer for her - she placed 3rd in her age group - Congrats Gigi!!!
Another highlight of the weekend was the Kid's Triathlon on Sunday. Kids ranging from 6-12 years of age completed a 100 meter swim, 1 mile bike and half mile run at the Outer Banks YMCA. Every child had the unbelievable determination to complete their first race!!! The smiles were priceless. Check out the photos on www.triduo.com.
As a coach and trainer, I am continually inspired by the accomplishments of my clients and friends. Each person travels their own journey for their own reasons - I am just greatful to be able to help them get there.
