What I Love

When I was 20, my poor health started interfering with my daily life. By 24, it had slipped further, and my doctor told me I may not make it to 50. My parents weren't even 50 yet. That was my wakeup call. It hasn't been an easy journey, but it's definitely been worth it.

I get bored with conventional exercise like running, rowing and lifting weights. I like to be distracted during exercise, as I find it keeps me going longer, especially if I'm enjoying what I'm doing! So,  I started with short hikes in pretty places with lots to see. Then I began mountain biking and kayaking. Now I'm into rock climbing and snowshoeing! Let's find something you love that gets you moving!

For me the gym is a place where I get ready for adventures. My eye is not on the elliptical. It is on the mountains I will climb and the rivers I will ride. My hope is that in sharing my adventures with you, I will inspire you to find your own adventures. Let's keep building strength and health together. Then we can share the stories of the exciting places that our bodies take us.
