I said on my last post how tough Hills can be for running. Here I am at the top of one, and the sign in the background says “Moon Mountain”…How appropriate…it flet like we ran to the moon!
Here is Sarah…of course, some of us felt a little better after them. It was a good thing I took the picture several minutes later after she was able to recovery!
The scenery there was very nice. Getting to watch all of this kind of made the Hills a little easier to take.
It is always easier to do a workout with other people as well.
My true training partners…Steve, my marathon partner, and of course Sarah, my forever running partner. It always make adventures somewhere else that much better when you can explore it first hand out running. Some of these places we would not see had we not been out on foot. Keep moving everybody!

Sarah and I were out in Deadwood the last few days for our annual state Family Medicine conference. When we took off from the hotel, we had only one way to go…up! A mile up, then a mile down, and then back! We stopped at the top of the one hill…quite the name. Stage Run!
Here Sarah is running up, then down. You can see how high a climb it is in the background.
Here I am as well!
I will show some more of our routes, and the scenery, as well as some with Steve, my marathon partner, in the next few days as well. It was nice being back outside and having a change in scenery as well. The only problem is these were not really hills, but mountains! Keep moving everybody!

What a nice break in the weather lately. Nothing like a 70+ degree shift in temp. When the wind chills were -30 below or worse, to going almost 40 above, it has been great to get back outside for a run or walk.
It does not really feel like winter going out for a run in these temps. Very comfortable. Yesterday the wind was not very fun, but it was absolutely perfect this AM. Sarah took advantage of this as well. Here she is out for her morning run.
And of course, Zeus cannot be left out. He loves going out for a walk, and when it is this nice out, we can go 3-4 miles with him, and we won’t freeze. That is what Zeus and I did this AM. He is getting bigger all of the time.
I don’t know how long this break in the cold will be, but get outside and enjoy it. It was really was a nice morning to be outside. Keep moving everybody!

What are your goals/plans for 2015? What do you want to do? To Achieve? It basically comes down to what is right for you. Only you can decide what that may be. Just remember to keep some basics concepts in mind. Look deep inside of you to decide what is it that is really important to you. What drives your interests? What truly is important to you? For me, it always boils down to the main essentials: My Family!
My kids home for Christmas, with Molly’s boyfriend Tanner.
Sarah enjoying having everybody home for Christmas too.!
And of course, we can’t forget about Zeus!
Just remember, keep in mind what is important to you, and then set your goals in relation to them. It will be much easier to create goals that are important to you. Set those goals to be challenging, but achievable. Remember to take into account your schedule limitations, as everybody’s is different. How hard are you willing to work, and what are you willing to sacrifice? As long as you keep your core objectives in mind of why you are even wanting to have goals in the first place, then they will be much easier, and rewarding, to achieve. Keep moving everybody!

Who says just because the holidays are here you can’t still workout, and yet still have fun. Megan is home from school, so we have been going to Anytime fitness together. Molly will be too. Meg and I had some fun this AM while we were there.
Of course, we get to laughing so hard, we have to remember we are there to exercise! Here are a few more shots…
Megan started out a little slow trying to smile for the camera…
Then she started to smile a little more in between sets…
Just remember, even though it is the holidays, you can still work in some time to be fit, and take care of yourselves. Keep moving everybody! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
