Been an Absentee Writer

I have been back on the bike.  I missed riding.  A lot.  And I have certainly enjoyed the comeback. At first it hurt.  A lot.   But then the gain outweighed the pain and there were smiles aplenty.

Now I don;t have a lot of time to ride.  But I have been able to squeeze in 3 or 4 or sometimes 5 rides a week of about an hours duration.  It has been working.  

So keep on checking back so you can see what I see while I am out on the bike.  The picture above is my backyard.  I love where I live.

Gone But Not Forgotten - Back on the Bike

Back on the bike.  Feels so good.  Truly.  I am now able to ride at least 4 days a week.  That means less running and less hiking, though I will continue to work both into my weekly routine.

And the 50 day challenge sees me down 12 pounds.  I am by no means at my fighting weight, but I also have no fights in my immediate future.  Don't get me wrong.  I aim to reach my fighting weight, just not in a big hurry.

Have I mentioned that I am a list guy?  I am.  I have a list.  I am looking at it ......... now.  I use a list because my schedule these days is crazy busy: work, family, kid sports, coaching, homework, pets, wife in school, did I mention kids, fitness, oh and I am currently coaching 3 different teams.  So yeah, I am busy.

So I make a list.  And I recommend you make one too.  I can help if you are interested.

23 Days To Go - More than Half Way

Well, I am more than half way to my 45th birthday and I am more than half way to my fitness goal.  No, I have not been riding the bike.  I have been hiking and running and walking - see the log to the right.  And it has been a nice change of pace.  Plus, it feels good missing the bicycle, should make it all that much more fun to get back after it.  Maybe this weekend......

Anyway, with the Marin fit Circuit Work Out and views like the one above, I have fallen back into the rhythm one needs to lead a fitter and fuller life.  Email me at marinfitforyou (@) g mail . com if you are ready to embark on your journey.

Raven on a rock is good luck in some cultures.......

Dwayne The Rock Johnson

This dude is pure inspiration.  Check out his instagram account if you ever find yourself in doubt and ask yourself, "What Would The Rock Do?".  I ask myself this question everyday.  And the answer is simple .......

42 Days Left

I have been eating clean, running or hiking, sleeping a ton, not touching sugar or white flour or alcohol for 8 days and I have been eating well.  Forty two days left, until I turn 45, this lifestyle shall continue.

Happy Holidays,

I Like The Rain

Howdy All,

I made it through the holidays, and I am almost through the sickness.  I cannot believe how long this muck has hung on.  It's horrible. But getting better.  The picture above was from our little sojourn to the towers.  It was not fast but it was complete. 

And the rain is falling now.  I am trying to decide on a quick, short run or rest.  I guess my Strava feed will tell all, unless I forget my phone which has happened once or twice.

Best,

J
