Anybody else getting really tired of Winter? Everywhere you go, people are talking about the weather, and how it is getting them down. The weather is getting us all down! When we get “down”, then everything else seems to slip too, especially our efforts to take care of ourselves. This is a time when you have to dig down deep to stay motivated with your goals, to stay focused on what is important, in the face of all of these outside challenges. I think it is time to focus on some motivational points to help keep our focus. Here is a view of one of the lakes out in the Black Hills this past summer. It is easy to just get lost in your thoughts when out looking/walking/hiking in something this nice and peaceful. Stay tuned as I concentrate on some other views/aspects/pictures to help get us, and me, through these weather challenges right now…

Efforts from the weekend of working doing sandbagging. Lots of walking, lifting, shoveling. Kids are still sore. Hopefully with all the the rain/snow that everybody will be safe, and not be flooded out. If you were here in 1997, you know what I am talking about. It is not something I want to go through again. Everybody keep their chins up…this weather has got to stop soon, right??
The only thing I want to accomplish yet out of all of this is having some other good workouts emptying all of these bags, hoping none of them are really going to be needed. Stay tuned over the next few weeks…

Sandbagging out at the lake all day. I guess that’s what filling/lifting/hauling 50 # bags of sand/gravel will do to you. We are all wiped out. My family from SF came up today, and we spent the day doing this. I call it the ulitmate workout. Everyone worked above and beyond. You start to figure out where your weak spots are when you are doing this all day. Hopefully it will all be of benefit. We all definitely got our exercise for the day today.

We are all waiting anxiously for Spring to come. Here Buddy just keeps staring out the window watching the snow melt. He can’t wait to be able to be outside on a regular basis again, without the snow and ice. Hopefully now we won’t all be have to be worrying about flooding now. We just got done going for a walk, and he was bouncing all over the place ready to go. Now, that is what a training partner will do for you. They help keep you going, keep you motivated, and help get you out the door even when other things need to be done. Thanks Buddy for helping me realize what things are important in life! Here’s to looking forward to good weather, and a great Spring!

Vacations are great for taking the time to relax and get away from all of the stresses of regular, everyday life. Here I am lounging out in one of the canopy beds overlooking the ocean. It was a great time…a good weather pick-me-up…and easily made exercising each day much more fun. You can still relax and have a great time, and still remember to take care of yourself in all aspects, including your own health. It was also great to get to spend time with….
….my Sarah…my one and only. My training partner, and partner in life. I couldn’t do it without you Sarah!
This brings our Mexico excursion to completion. Time to move on to other topics, of which the list is never ending. Stay tuned for more to come….
