Shape Up with Under Armour


So I have been training with Under Armour's TNP training team online, and man, what a work out! I am currently working on the SPEED set, and the customized workouts that let you establish your goals and track your progress just kick your butt... and your determination! I have tried a bunch of online training programs, but Under Armour's free program is by far the best I have done... which is why I am sitting on my couch, sore as can be, blogging all afternoon because I can barely move...

But it's worth it!!!

I Struck some Irish Luck ;-)


Last night a group of us decided to beat the weather and headed down to China Town to check out bowling at Lucky Strike. In full disclosure, the last time I bowled I only got a 19... but with the help of "Mo" who helped me pick out my lucky blue ball, I didn't do too bad- hit something like 140 or so... Huge improvement! Sometimes I forget how much fun bowling is (especially when enhanced by a few cocktails!)


Next rainy day (ha looks like today!)... its on!

Bayhawks visit National Children's Medical Center

Last Thursday, three of the Washington Bayhawks' players headed over to the Children's National Medical Center before heading up to Rutgers to take on the New Jersey Pride. Conor Gill, Jamison Mullen, and Billy Glading passed out ice cream, player cards, and posters to many remarkable little guys on the children's cancer floor in honor of Mason's Super Stars, seeing the kids' faces light up as they talked with the guys about movies, lacrosse, and summer plans was far more rewarding than one could imagine. The players exchanged email addresses with a few of the teenagers and have already been keeping in touch, one little girl told the boys how pretty they made her feel when she was having such a rough day...


Thank you again to everyone at the hospital and to Danielle Leach for facilitating the wonderful morning... Words don't do justice in describing how touching the experience was for all involved. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want more information on how you can get involved.

Billy Glading vs Andy Corno this Saturday as the Bayhawks take on the Barrage!

When the Washington Bayhawks suit up against the Philadelphia Barrage this weekend, it won’t just be two Eastern Conference juggernauts going head to head; it will also be a battle between the Bayhawk’s Billy Glading and the Barrage’s Andy Corno to see who is top in lacrosse in the metro area. Glading and Corno have been battling for DC dominance since high school.

Glading attended Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. where he was a two time All-American and was named the Metro-Area Player of the Year his senior year. Corno attended nearby Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland, where he was named to the High School All-American team and a member of the All-Met team. Glading went to the University of Virginia, a mere two hours from DC, where he became a third team All-American, ACC Tournament MVP, and the team MVP his senior year.

Corno attended Georgetown University, in the heart of Washington, where he was a three time All-American, team captain, and became one of the top five NCAA leaders in face-off percentage and ground balls.

Today, the two metro-area natives are still following the same path. Glading is living in Bethesda, Maryland, and playing for the local fans with the Washington Bayhawks. Corno resides in Georgetown and is on the Bayhawks’ Eastern Conference rival, the Philadelphia Barrage. Both are involved in youth lacrosse in the area. Glading is working for The Next Level, an athletic training center in DC, and coaches The Next Level youth lacrosse teams, as well as being recently named co-director of the Washington Bayhawks camps, along with Kyle Dixon. Corno is the founder of Leaders Lacrosse, a local lacrosse organization that offers youth teams, camps and clinics, private lessons, and college consulting.

So who wins the battle for DC area lacrosse dominance? This one may be too close to call. Come to this Saturday’s game between the Bayhawks and Barrage to find out who wins it on the field. Face off is at 7:00pm at George Mason Stadium in Fairfax, VA.
