Accountability

I keep saying I want to get more hiking in. I have brought up, more than once, that I’ve been thinking about trying to qualify for this local footrace that happens in September. I will whine, on occasion, that I feel better when I connect with nature every day, but I don’t always make itContinue reading “Accountability”

The Aging Process: Part I

Let’s face it: getting old is not for the faint of heart. Activities that were once effortless now mandate a warm-up and cool-down. Regardless of all the stretching you do, you might wake up with aches and pains the next day. I love this comedian’s bit on “Old Man Noises”. Humor is a great copingContinue reading “The Aging Process: Part I”

I am beginning to feel like a local. I was blessed enough to take a trip with a friend this pastContinue reading “Love Where You Are”

Five Day Challenge is Almost Here

Ready to rid your body of the winter insulation? Much like the bears here in Colorado, I too put on some “insulation” during the winter months. I find it helpful because my blood hasn’t thickened to this cooler climate; regardless, I don’t notice it too much unless I put on form-fitting clothes. What is aContinue reading “Five Day Challenge is Almost Here”

You Can’t Out-exercise Your Diet.

It came out of the mouth of one of my favorite instructors. “That is too much reality this early in the morning.” was my initial response. But she was right.
