I spent Thursday in Pierre with the first year medical students, and we met with the Governor and Lt. Governor, and discussed different legislation going on in the current sessions in Pierre. I had never seen the Lake by the capitol for quite a few years, and it was impressive.
It was 42 degrees by early afternoon, and great for going out for a walk to take in the scenery. You can walk around this lake and just take in the view. Here are a few more shots.
It was nice at home the last few days as well, so hopefully you all got out and took advantage of it. Zeus and I went for a 3 mile walk after clinic yesterday, and I think I wore him out. He slept the rest of the evening, but he had a great time explorer everything with the nice weather. Keep moving everybody!

In about a month, March will be here and it will be time for us to start our spring program of STRIVE 2 Survive! Spring STRIVE starts March 10th and enrollment is just starting. Our 12 week program starts March 10th and we will meet in person every other Tuesday at the County Fair Banquet Hall from 5:30-6:30pm (see dates below). The weeks we do not meet, you will be given a take home lesson mailed or emailed to you, thus every week you will be given education, tips, etc on nutrition and activity. In addition, we include lab work (total lipid panel and glucose) and body composition testing (weight, height, BMI, blood pressure, fat%, and muscle mass) at the beginning and end of the program. The total cost is $130, which includes all lessons, lab work, and body composition testing.
Our main goal is to help you learn how to live a healthier lifestyle that promotes disease prevention, longevity, and quality of life. Weight loss, improved lipids, improved glucose, improved blood pressure, and improved overall health are all results of our program.
If you are interested or know of someone who is, please contact us anytime! You can call me directly at 884-4226 or email strive2survive@brownclinic.org. We are looking forward to another great session!

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!
