Coaching .......

I coach.  I am the head coach.  I have had two weeks off from coaching but that sabbatical ended this week. It was a nice break, a needed break, but I do have a lot of fun in my role.   Well, Friday we have try outs for the Fall Travel team and I have had my hands full this week preparing for said event.  Plus all the kids go back to school this week, my spouse included so I have been inundated with stuff out of the norm.  Let's call this week a forced rest week.  Though I will be riding and doing the circuit workout 4 out of 7 days this week.  It should be 6.

I hope you are all eating well, resting and getting the exercise you need to live a happy and healthy life.

Talk soon,

J

Seriously, Folks

I am not sure if you have noticed or not, but there are no ads on this website.  I am not trying to make money from blogging or from clicks.  I am trying to get the public healthy and fit and happy with themselves through a short, intense circuit workout and communion with the beauty of nature in a way that is both manageable for any schedule and fun at the same time. 

If you are interested in just such a plan, we have the one for you.  We will offer various types of plans, but for now we have one.  It is very low touch, depends on YOU to get things done and is laid out in all its simplicity for you. Sound good?  If so email us at 420wear(at)gmail.com and check in.  Or you can wait until later this week when we have our first 'special' to join up.  It's easy, inexpensive and may just be the best thing you have done all year. 

Marin Fit is For You,

Skywalker

So I have been on the straight and narrow for a while now and today I came off the rails.  It happens.  As long as it only happens once in a while it is ok.  So what did I do?  It wasn't that bad.  I had a few drinks last night and for breakfast this morning I had the best corn beef hash (with 2 scrambled eggs) that I have ever had.  It was scrumptious.  It was probably close to 1200 calories.  So what did I do?  I rode.  I climbed.  I hit the dirt.  I burned (1000) calories. 

Well, now that I got that out of my system it is time to drink litz of izer (that's lots of water), indulge in the MF circuit workout and take old yellow dog for his walk.  Oh, and let us not forget catching for my daughter while she works on her softball pitching.  Little has game, yo.

Tomorrow will be an easy longer spin, no MF workouts on the weekends, but I may work a hike in there just for fun.  Sunday will be on the MTB with Pablo.

Cheat meals are okay if they are few.

Do More, More Often,

70 Minute Spin and Adjust

Yesterday was a much needed spin day, active rest we call that.  It worked out well, as I had picked up some new cycling shoes and pedals for my dirt machines and needed to get my cleat position dialed in.  Dial them in I did all while spinning to the tune of 15 miles.  The longer miles come today and this weekend and then next week we get back to some real miles.

I am looking forward to more hours in my head.  :-).

Get outside today and break a sweat and then keep it flowing.

Single Track State of Mind

There really is nothing like geting outside and finding some rhythm and some singletrack and some speed and some adrenaline.  I am enjoying being back on my bicycle.  And eating well.  And reading more.  But, and there is always a but, the past months have been trying.  New job; going better.  Vacations; over.  House guests; gonzo.  School; about to start.  Routine; about to be had. 

I like having a routine.  In fact I have the majority of my weekdays scripted.  Seriously. I know - sad - but I need to do this in order to be effective, to find that singletrack state of mind. 

Be Better,

J

Short is Better Than Not

This is my gym. This is what Marin Fit is all about. Coffee. Ezekiel toast with a poached egg and a half of an avocado; breakfast. Then a short spin on the mountain bike. I am pressed for time today, what with family birthdays, impending house guests, and a pleatora of other chores. So, that being said, a shot workout is better than no workout. I feel much better about myself; better about the day, and I am certainly looking forward to the Dawn Patrol MTB (that's mountain bike) ride with the crew tomorrow. Amen.

Oh, and I will throw down the MF (Marin Fit) Circuit work out and a walk later in the day. The time is nigh, friends. Nothing, I mean nothing tastes as good as fit feels.

Get After It,

J

I'm Back, Y'All

Well, I have been on a journey of sorts, the kind that leads to another journey.  The later is the one I will share with you and it began on Tuesday of this week.  So far I have eaten clean, ridden well, short but well.  I have hydrated plenty and slept like a champion.  Those are things we need to do to be successful as healthy humans.  And this is the goal, correcto? 

Check back often. It's on.
