He created “Wholistic Fitness®” in 1981 and reached 7 World Championships in 5 different sports (a feat which remains untouched); all this is after self-healing himself from spinal paralysis.

wish ilg Go(o)dspeed tomorrow in the DWC Championship Road Race…likely in the rain/wind…will be using all my Apache Trainings (see above pic for precisely what my chi-ldhood Wolf Guru looked like…courtesy of Joy Kilpatrick). It’s a Blessing to race at this level, at this age, after such a Blessed Life…you too! Count Thy Blessings…Mindfulness or else….

newly minted HP Yoga® Teacher, Jackie “Gamhé” Boudreau is already gaining a big class following…and more importantly; she is carrying the WF Torch igniting Transformation quickly among her students.
forecast for tomorrows MTB TT (event #2 of 4 in the DWC Championships)? dat’s right, baby! RAIN! THIS should be interesting! ilg loves nordic conditions! bring it! stay tuned and send ilg some Chi…need to somehow bridge a 7pt gap to 1st…
