Fit and Strong, Fitness, Sleep, Work Outs

While this past year has not been one with a lot of big activity for me, some of the routines and habits I have put in place are really helping me to stay fit. I noticed that I automatically do some things, mostly out of habit, but they are helpful, healthy routines that I thought I'd share. The things that I learned - especially about habits - have really helped me to stay more fit and active than I would have. Over the past year+ (during the Covid pandemic), I haven't had the type of big goals like I did set a few years back. However I've still been able to keep up some exercise. While I'm not running any races right now, I still try to continue...

I’d like to say that my  return to boot camp class at my gym was a great success and that I left the class in a moment of triumph. It wasn’t quite that exciting, I confess.

Well, I was dealing with some family issues out of town in the beginning of 2020 and then of course the gyms as well as the world just shut down. I returned to the gym over a year ago but at first the classes at the gym had...

Fit and Strong, Running

What could be better than  running in the fall with my dog, Penny? It's been several months now that Penny has been doing her canine Couch to 5K plan with me. We actually abandoned the official plan and just went with a run-walk program. I use my Garmin to set times for running and walking and we go from there. On a beautiful fall day, this is the face I saw at the top of my stairs. What a dejected looking pup! I said, "come on, Penny, we're going for a run." We drove to the Towpath Trail in the neighboring town. It's a lovely trail that runs along the Cuyahoga River. I wanted to run a section of the trail to figure out the distance between two...
