Watch this coach turn a loss into a heartwarming speech about pride.

These are two minutes that counteracts the "darker" news that is happening here and abroad. And can be helpful when talking to the young kids in your family when things don't go their way.

Some of the nut butter products include Arrowhead Mills Peanut Butters, MaraNatha Almond Butters and Peanut Butters and specific private label nut butters sold under the Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Kroger and Safeway brands.

Do you run 30 minutes or more with your dog?

Here are some quick tips for your dog:

1. Make sure you provide water.

2. No sports drinks or gels

( dogs don't need it and it can cause stomach distress.)

3. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to your running partner's kibble, if you run 5+ miles a day.

4. Stay away from soy based protein.

Buy food that has animal protein

5. This vet does not endorse creating your own raw food diet...

"I do not recommend that people create their own raw-food diets at home. It’s difficult to include all of the necessary nutrients, and there can be food-borne illnesses"

6. Minimize treats if it's just a walk and not a run.

7. Keep Fido hydrated! ( see tip #1)

Throwback Tuesday! @JuliaHo returns from Cali to reacquaint herself with @FitcampNYC. Running and swimming are now her primary forms of exercise because... It's SoCal!

Here Julia joins @ChristineKern and the fierce competitor Lola for a morning workout. Great to have you back in NYC Julia. Appreciate the #loyalty from all three. Thank you and grateful.

(Couldn't wait until Thursday for the throwback shoutout.)

Inspiration for today, Alex and his joy of running. This is what I espouse. Enjoying your time outside. Motivation Monday salutes this young man with severe autism.

More Mo'ne!! 13 year old Ms.Davis is taking the Little League World Series by storm! Her 70 mph fastball is equivalent to a 91 mph major league pitch. This velocity coupled with her control is allowing her to dominate her opponents, causing a buzz in the sports pages. Catch her pitching this Sunday, in her final year of Little League play, on ESPN.

Treat yourself and help a sick child get healthier. (watch video below to see how @CMNHospital helps families.)

Enjoy a Dairy Queen Blizzard and $1 or more will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network. Today is the only day where I am encouraging you to trade in your Kale/Wheatgrass smoothie for a blizzard. Or you can:

• split a DQ with a friend

• stay true and buy a co-worker the treat.

• see link below and make a donation

Remember lead a balanced life and enjoy the occasional treat! (Occasional)

Shepard Smith of Fox News calls Robin Williams a coward! Read this story where Robin goes and above for a young 13 year old dying girl in North Carolina and brings joy to her in her final days.

I believe he was an inspiration for compassion.

I post this to bring the focus back on how Robin made the world a better place. And because he made Carpe Diem a mantra. And he comedic "Mother Theresa", as this story illustrates. #robinwilliams #lastwish
