The Story of Wally Powers (West Danby Resident):
For the past 8 years, Wally Powers has braved the frigid Central NY weather by running 3, 5, or 10 miles to help raise money for the American Heart Association. The Utica event is one of the largest in the US, raising over $1 million annually.
Wally began running in the Utica race in 2002, when his step-father died of congestive heart failure. Since then, he has raised over $13,000 to help fight heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke, and to promote healthy heart practices.

What Is Your Favorite Exercise?
I was talking with a training client today and we got into an interesting conversation about his favorite exercise. It was kind of neat learning about his preferences, likes and dislikes. So I wanted to open this up a bit and ask you… what’s your favorite exercise and why?
