Race Director

Posted by krashnik On March - 25 - 2009

With everything I’ve trained for in my life, being a race director just makes sense. Having been a runner competitively for over 13 years and having coached hundreds of people to their first 1 mile walk, let alone 5k or marathon run – I feel it is appropriate to step into these shoes.

So far, MOVFitness has hosted less than 5 races, but we are storming into the field with an extremely small carbon imprint and going to draw crowds of around 500 to our future races. We have these races setup around our retreats with destinations set in Mexico, France, Bali, and New York to name just a few.

Our greatest success so far has been the Santa Monica Boardwalk 5k/10k Walk & Run. This is a really fun event that I came up with after researching all the races in the LA area. With little surprise, I realized all the runs were through the city grid. Seriously, who wants to run through blocks and blocks of city? The view here is gorgeous and so little traffic on the boardwalk makes it nice for even beginners to run on the course.

I hope to see everyone out at our events. Feel free to ask me about volunteering or running. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning :)

Evergreen Energy

Posted by krashnik On March - 25 - 2009

Well, I gotta say, it’s nice to be right. In this facade of a falling economy, smart businesses continue to excel. Evergreen Energy, Inc. is one of those companies. Back in November, I recommended investing in this stock when it was less than 40 cents per share. Jump forward 4 months and you’ll see it now closing around $1.50 – over a 400% gain!

So now what do I recommend? You know, this stock was at $20/share back in late 2005 and I don’t think we’ll see that price anytime soon, but $5 a share by the end of the year wouldn’t surprise me. Top executives continuing to buy their own stock and further progression with deals in Asia could lead this stock into a continued upward spiral.

Any business helping with alternative energy, such as Evergreen Energy has a lot of potential. What will really set this apart from the others is their ability to follow through with future development and continue to invest in their own company. Both these qualities will result in a strong foundation to regrow the business and get a step ahead in today’s economy.
