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….

In between relaxing and eating, if we did not go for a run or walk outside, we went into the gym that they had at the resort. Some pretty nice equipment, and it helped keep the interest by getting to use some different things. Besides, it was also cool in there. I would take the heat and humidity outside anyday versus the continued weather we keep having here…
…Sarah working out on the ellipitical machine. We don’t get to use one of these much back at home. We have a treadmill and bikes, but not this, so it made for some nice changes…

Vollyball was one activity to help enjoy being outside. There were some days that were more windy, and in the afternoon it did get really warm. Did I just say really warm???? I would take that heat in a heartbeat right now. With this sudden onset of a blizzard that was not even predicted for tonight, I will take warm and humid any day. The weather was perfect to go out for walks, which we did plenty of. This is a view of what we got to see daily….
Spring is coming, right??

There were lots of other activities to do while we were on vacation in Mexico. Here is a lifesize chess board, where you had to keep moving around the board to figure out your next move, and how you wanted to proceed. Following this….
…it was then off to the ping pong table. Following this, it was then off to the canopy again for another nap, listening to the ocean, and relaxing. I will show you some views of this as well coming up as I wrap up the Mexican adventure over the next few days.
