I am afraid I am going to have to come up with some alternative routes for running, and later biking. Here is one of my spots. City Park. The Lake has now completely engulfed the park and bike trail. This is where we go along when we do the triathlon in July. Went running along it this morning when it was still dark out…not a good feeling with all this water coming. There are multiple sections along the bike path all through town that are under water. At this rate, it will take quite awhile before we are even going to be able to be on them.
Sections like this are abundant. The trail that goes by our cabin is completely under. The Lake is still rising, and not sure when we are going to be done with this. This is how flooding can impact us all. Everyone who uses the bike trails will have to come up with alterative routes for awhile.

Spent Saturday in the Aberdeen Barnett Center for High School Varsity
Track meet. Molly and Nick both competed, Molly with the 400 and 800 meters, and Nick with the 3000 meters. Both are good runners, and it is important to make sure your kids stay active. What better example for them to follow then to stay active yourself. Here Molly is coming around the final turn on her 400 meters, and then…..
…Nick on one of his turns for the 3000 meters. Nick is an 8th grader competing right now in varsity. A true distance runner…must take after his Dad! Way to go kid!!! It made for a fun day.

Many have asked how our last STRIVE 2 Survive sessions have went so I thought I’d briefly discuss it here. We have been very successful thus are and look forward to our next spring session starting Tuesday, April 5th!
We have had individuals lose anywhere from 2-25lbs, drop up to 4 inches in their waist, drop their triglycerides by 200 points and drop their cholesterol and blood sugars drastically! Since everyone’s goals are little different, the results vary per individual.
We are striving to help each and everyone of you live a healthier lifestyle and make positive impacts in your health. These results are consistent with our own goals for the program as we are not aiming to see drastic weight loss fast as that would be called a ‘fad diet’ and we are not that! If you are considering our program, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone to learn more. We also want to congratulate all of our participants on a job well done as we continue to STRIVE 2 Survive!

As if the weather has not been bad enough, we start getting more snow here today. Combination of rain and snow, BIG snowflakes. Sarah and I said “Enough” and we went outside anyway and went running, going for a 6 mile run. Now, this is the type of scenery we had to look at during this run, but that did not stop us from actually having another image in our head to focus on during this run…That image is the following…
…pretending we were back in Mexico, running along their trail, among the palmtrees, feeling the sun shining, and not having rain and snow pelting your face. Sometimes, you need to focus on the good things that you did, to help get through some of the bad things. The weather here is definitely one of the bad things that just “keeps on going”. So…put your head down, keep focusing, concentrating, get moving, and keep on going!
